Reply To: Let's talk about board games

(Mods, can I ask you to turn my first post into just a link to this one?

I’m thinking of making a thread to recommend board games (etc.) to check out,

and I’ve got a few questions (to try and figure out what to do first).

Are you interested in games to play with your friends (teenage or

older), with your family (ages 8 and up), with younger children, or

with just one other person?

What price would you consider cheap, and what price just too much?

How long a game is too long for you?

How much detail would you want about any game being recommended?

Would you prefer that a game be as uncomplicated as possible?

Are you interested more in games that are more about luck or strategy?

Which of the following sound more interesting to you than the others?

Puzzle-solving / Racing / Sports / Physical skill / Words / Logic / Memory

Fighting with other players / Competing for points or to reach a goal

Playing a game without other people (as you might a video game)

Working with other players against the game instead of each other

Games that are more about the players than the game (think Apples to Apples)

Can you name a few games you’ve enjoyed, and perhaps what

it is about those games you would say causes you to enjoy them?

(Maybe it’s still too much…)
