This is something that I didn't know existed.

Tonight is board game night again so I'm back in the board game mood.
Last week we played a game of Catan and Ticket To Ride Europe (which was the first time any of us played and we all loved it). Any recommendation for good 4 player games that take an hour and a half or less? |

Interesting development: Target is carrying board games. They've had Catan and Ticket to Ride for a few months now, but tonight I saw several Fantasy Flight games, including Lord of the Rings, Deadwood, Nexus Ops and a few others. Also, they had several copies of Munchkin.
Awesome.

Never in my life have I encountered people that would play these things. Going all the way back to my youth and D&D.
I'm surprised by the interest shown in this thread.

Your geek radar is weak, clearly.

It depends on where you live, possibly, but I know some closet gamers. I've been playing D&D and other RPG for 20 years with a cop. He's been a cop for 25 years -- a classic beefy Irishman cop who would rather admit to murder than being a geeky gamer.

I guess so. I suppose I don't gravitate towards those people, even though they are probably who I would relate to best.

Now that I'm old enough to have kids, I don't give a shit. I let my geek flag fly. My current social circle does actually give me shit (in a funny way) for the fact that I'm in a "gaming group" these days and play DnD every other week. Of course, I've also had two guys from my normal social circle who now have joined the gaming group because they used to play DnD in junior high and wanted to play again. Of course, in a world where kids are raised gaming on computers, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and other hallmarks of "geek culture," it's become downright mainstream.

Eh, it's not just "geeks" that game anymore. Or, perhaps it is and the term "geek" has really lost a lot of its meaning. Most of the kids that I see buying the Magic cards are athletic college kids that could just as well be playing basketball. The gaming culture is expanding, which is great IMO.
I really didn't get into gaming at all until the last year or so.

For anyone interested in board games, BoardGameGeek.com is pretty much the definitive site for all things related to board games. They've got forums for each game, galleries, alternate rules, reviews, etc, etc. It's a really great site.

Still miss this game from my younger days. The tower broke the second week and we couldn't get a replacement.

Would be bad ass if they made a multiplayer version for your phone or tablet! They do have an app that emulates Just the Tower if you can find the board or print one out! https://market.android.com/details?i...mow.droidtower |
