What is your favorite game?

[guillaumeb]

A group of us gather monthly at the local library and play games.

Cards against humanity is a favorite, as is a game called Tumbling dice. A multi-level board where dice are shot down the ramp to earn points.

We like to talk and play for 4-5 hours, and eat snacks as well.

PS
political discussion is not allowed at these events.

1. I keep Snake Oil Salesman in my truck, cuz it's easy for a large group to learn, & it's fun.

We love Cards, too. My writing group gets together once every 3 months for games & we play something different each time. I don't remember what we've played. We're all on the same page politically, so we bash the Con. Sounds like a good game - bash the con.

2. Bash the con could be a never ending game.

Unless Mueller acts.

3. Spades with a good partner.

I play whack a troll at DI.

6. Back in the day, I liked Trivial Pursuit.

Now I like Boggle and Bananagrams. I like playing Cards Against Humanity, but I don't know that I'd enjoy playing it in a public library.

Also, I like euchre.

8. Eucher's my game too. I also like Yathzee.

11. Our library has private rooms that can be reserved.

[LisaM]

13. Sure, but can you have wine?

[guillaumeb]

14. Alcohol is forbidden.

But food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed. We have fun anyway.

[LisaM]

15. Actually, I don't mean to press alcohol on anyone to enjoy a game...

sorry if that came off wrong.

With that particular game, though....

[guillaumeb]

20. I know exactly what you mean.

It tales the game to another level.

[gratuitous]

7. Board game called "Fireball Island"

I don't think they make it anymore, but there's a lot of skullduggery and backstabbing on the way to deciding the winner. I don't know that it's suitable for a library, but it is good for an evening of quaffing alcoholic beverages and creating everlasting vendettas.

9. Cards Against Humanity

With the right crowd and alcohol, it is super fun. My friends used to do a game night once a month but life on the campaign trail put the breaks on it (at least for me).

I've been told that Exploding Kittens will debut at one of those.

ETA you can play Cards Against Humanity online
https://pyx-3.pretendyoure.xyz/zy/game.jsp

Blank cards are easy to play there. Donald Trump is the ultimate catchall for a blank card.

12. Exploding Kittens?

Wow!!

[crazycatlady]

18. Never heard of it before

But one of my friends (also a cat lady) seems to like it

16. It used to be Madden 2008 for Mac

They have not made another version for the Mac since then. I would still play that game if, alas, the file had not become corrupted and no longer loads on my Macs.

Since that happened last autumn, I have stopped playing games.

17. Chinese Checkers and Scrabble. nt

[GallopingGhost]

19. At the moment, the playoffs. n/t

[lastlib]

21. Chess!

The analytical depths can be profound. It is mentally stimulating beyond belief, and believe it or not, can be quite demanding physically!

[Thor_MN]

22. Killer Bunnies can be fun.

Cards against Humanity is good too.

[guillaumeb]

24. Killer Bunnies is a good name.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. Shanghai. It is a card game based on rummy which can be played by a large group

Each deal of the cards has a different meld combination, and there are 8 deals. I especially like that an odd number can play it. We used to have marathon rounds of this game.

[MerryBlooms]

25. Cribbage, Pinochle, Backgammon, Scrabble, Catan and Texas 42.

[jberryhill]

26. Global Thermonuclear War

[guillaumeb]

28. The Trump version?

[Shrike47]

27. Bridge.

[Laffy Kat]

29. Settlers of Catan.

Just he basic Settlers game.
