A friend of mine has got me into some "geeky" gaming that has become a real hit at my house. We've been playing Ticket to Ride and Forbidden Island as a family, while my buddy and I have been playing Ascension, Resident Evil, and Dominion.
Are there any other cool board/card games out there that I should check out? I mean, I've seen the spiel des jahres lists, but I'd love some first hand thoughts on cool games. [Reply]

I haven't played munchkin, but I'm really intrigued by Munchkin Quest, which is a board game version of the cards. Have you heard anything about that? [Reply]

i havent played it, but i used to play a TON of 'warhammer quest' which is bad ass.(easily top 5 board game of all time)......so if it is jackson's take on warhammer quest, (or the other quest-like game i think hero-quest) it probably rocks...
Ive never played a game of his that i didn't enjoy! [Reply]

I've fallen into the trap of buying board games that I really want to try, but end up having no one to play them with. I have a few games at home sitting on a shelf that I've never had a chance to play: Civilization, Puerto Rico, Agricola, Game of Thrones, etc.
Also, Trans America is another train game that I enjoy a bit more than Ticket To Ride. [Reply]
The D and D board games are pretty good, such as Castle Ravenloft and Wrath of Ashardalon. In all honesty, Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition is pretty freaking awesome and "board game"-esque due to the extreme tactical nature that they took with 4e. [Reply]
I keed, I keed.
every now and again we like to drink a lot of beer and play Cranium, Balderdash, or this game where you try to get your partner to say a word w/out saying a certain list of words.....the name of the game escapes me at the moment. [Reply]
Arkham Horror is a lot of fun. It's a change of pace because it's co-op instead of competitive. You work together to stop the elder gods from bringing about the end of the world. http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15987/arkham-horror
They've been mentioned, but Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan are both great games as well. [Reply]
