Board Games Known to Me!

Board games played off my shelf or that friends have ported over during our semi-regular weekly.

Expeditions (Scythe)

Fish Stix

Clank! In Space

Another cool game, I'm a Scifi kinda guy, and it works, but I liked the fantasy setting better.

Last Light

Very purty game. Quick Play X4, which succeeds at what it advertises.

Clank! Catacombs

My first intro to the series, it's definitely OK by me.

Dead of Winter

An old classic, I hate zombie games, but this one is an exception, you could replace zombies with any other kind of threat and it would still be a solid game.

Undaunted Battle of Britain

First played of several Undaunted games owned. Put me at fault, I'm Ex-Airforce! Figured it out mostly first play through, very much enjoyed, now for nuance and to try the rest in the series.

Kingsburg

Recently played a rousing round or five of Kingsburg. Nice to dust off an ol' easy accessible favourite once in a while.

Roll Player

Nice, expandable Yahtzee based fantasy character design competition. Friend indicates they have a RPG conversion/expansion out now???

Manhattan Project

Simple and elegant worker placement - WW2 - be first to build the bomb. Another easy favourite to hit the game table. Highly recommend.

The Captain is Dead

Co-op Star Trek themed catastrophe simulator. The best waste of time I've ever had dying over and over again! And by that I mean it's great play value. I'd like to do a 3D printed and miniature version someday.

Churchill

Another wonderful game by GMT. Challenge is to get the right balance, win, but not by too much. Based on WW2 conferences between the Allied Powers. Another easy to table option for exactly three players.

Watergate.

Another port to table by a friend. Thoroughly enjoyed the historical game play - Nixon trying to cock block the Journos and Investigators. Would definitely do again. It's only a two player.

Battle Cry (150 Anniversary Ed.)

My favourite Richard Borg Command and Colors game. It gets the tech, play and feel of ACW just right in my books.

Memoir 44

A tried, true and easy breakout game for two. Prefer the ACW version in Battle Cry. Have yet to get another Memoir Game to play the four player beach landings. Have two different versions of Battle Lore to test drive too! Someday...

Twilight Struggle

Best two player game ever, if you are a fan of Cold War history? Highly recommend.

Fortune and Glory.

Be Indy Jones for a day, traveling the world for artifacts. Ported in by a friend. Was OK, not overly memorable. Might need another play to make up my mind?

Boss Monster

Another port to table by a friend. I'm not normally a big fan of card games but this was easy, fast and fun as I recall. Worth considering.

A Study in Emerald

Oh, so want to dust off and play this beauty. Played the first edition once before, then chanced upon this one. Nice subterfuge mix between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and HP Lovecraft.
