Title: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: phoenix1967 on August 28, 2008, 04:01:59 PM For non-videogames, I recently picked up the following:
Ticket to Ride, the Card game. Power Grid (board game). Power Grid expansion (new deck of power plants to be played with the original game). Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: dotDarkCloud (dDC) on August 28, 2008, 06:23:37 PM Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit ($3 from a goodwill store, great condition)
Not that great, since it was "Movie Trilogy Edition" so it isn't as accurate to actual Tolkien Legendarium. Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: phoenix1967 on August 29, 2008, 09:06:08 AM @dot, Are you into any of the independant board game developers (i.e. Days of Wonder, Rio Grande Games, Mayfair, Twilight Creations, etc.)?
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: dotDarkCloud (dDC) on August 31, 2008, 02:48:49 PM No, not yet. I've only just gotten back into boardgames after years of not playing them. I do, however have a couple that might be classified as indie.
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: phoenix1967 on September 28, 2008, 11:28:39 AM Which ones?
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: den68 on October 06, 2008, 02:55:57 PM I grabbed a few lately.
Trivial Pursuit: The Book Lovers Edition - this thing looks brutaly hard Knight Rider Ms. Pacman Donkey Kong yeah, some were video game related. Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: phoenix1967 on October 07, 2008, 09:02:00 AM A Knight Rider boardgame?...that actually sounds like it'd be pretty rare.
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: den68 on October 09, 2008, 11:56:58 AM could be, I don't know. I've picked up quite a few like that over the years. Most are near complete and in playable shape.
a few others: Battlestar Galactica, Starsky & Hutch, Dukes of Hazzard. The Mad Magazine Game, Spy vs Spy. Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: phoenix1967 on October 10, 2008, 01:42:34 PM Just picked up a couple more from www.thoughthammer.com:
Colosseum Race for the Galaxy Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: Crabmaster2000 on October 10, 2008, 02:40:40 PM Grabbed a card game called Bang! a few weeks ago. Got the bullet edition with all the expansions and a few extra bonus cards. Really fun game with 4 or more people. kinda lame with just 3.
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: den68 on October 10, 2008, 02:44:14 PM Wednesday night I picked up Trivial Pursuit 10th Anniversary Edition.
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: NESman93 on November 09, 2008, 12:47:54 PM I got a Scrabble Deluxe Turntable Edition from wal-mart. Gotta love scrabble.
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: phoenix1967 on November 10, 2008, 05:49:56 PM Sue gave me The Office trivia boardgame as an early Christmas present.
The board's layout and directions were a little confusing, but after awhile it was a pretty fun game if you've been following the series. With just the 2 of us playing, it took about 30-45 minutes for a game. Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: Rajaat the Warbringer on November 10, 2008, 06:21:37 PM Hmm... I think the last board game I bought was the most recent figure wave for Heroscape. Good Stuff :)
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: den68 on December 02, 2008, 04:07:41 PM Star Wars - Escape From The Death Star
Emergency! Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: CodysGameRoom on December 03, 2008, 12:57:53 PM I played a game recently called Loaded Questions. It has to be one of the most fun board games I have ever played.
Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: Sirgin on January 04, 2009, 07:32:02 AM I bought this board game Tayü about two weeks ago. It's great! :)

Sounds like a fun party game. @Sirgin: How many people were playing with you when you tried it out? Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately?

Post by: BadEnoughDude on January 05, 2009, 11:00:34 AM I got Blokus about a week ago. I looooove it.
Also got Stratego and Foodie Fight for Christmas. Haven't played either of them yet, but Stratego is a definite classic :) Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately? Post by: phoenix1967 on January 05, 2009, 11:12:03 AM @Sirgin: How many people were playing with you when you tried it out? One. Why?It says it's for 2-4 players. So I was just curious. I can imagine it being pretty chaotic with more than 2 people. 8) I got Blokus about a week ago. I looooove it. Also got Stratego and Foodie Fight for Christmas. Haven't played either of them yet, but Stratego is a definite classic :) Stratego is definitely a classic. Gotta love having Miners to remove those bombs! Truly the original "Capture the flag" game. I wonder if the videogame makers that started putting in this mode were fans of Stratego? 8) Title: Re: What non-videogame games have you purchased lately?

I can imagine it being pretty chaotic with more than 2 people. 8) I think it's the most chaotic with 3 players. In that case, two players play the normal game but a third player is the "saboteur" that tries to prevent others from putting rivers to their borders. :PWith 4 players you basically play in teams of 2. You're not allowed to talk to each other though (I think...) |
