Well I had an interesting Board game night ... first I played Risk, and Then a similar game called Power Barons... I got to say... it is pretty fun to take over the world... Wink

I have been completely obsessed with board gaming for the last few months and often neglecting RFG in the process. Thank god this thread exists or I'd have nothing to talk about.


I know exactly how you feel.  I go through phases where I get really into one thing and neglect some of the others for a few weeks.  Tomorrow is a big board game day for my group.  We will be playing lots of stuff.  I'll try to remember to take pictures.

Have you tried Risk Legacy?  Very cool twist on the standard Risk game.  I don't want to spoil anything but the game changes the more you play it.  If you are into world domination, I'd also recommend Fortress America, though it is quite a bit more complicated than RISK.  Game of Thrones the Board game and Eclipse are also great empire expansion/battle games.  Also, War of the Ring.  God, so many great board games.

I had an old Fortress America game I got for a buck at a garage sale. Mostly liked the little figures, and never could get anyone to play with except my six year old sister.

Nice!  I've only played the newer version of Fortress America from 2008 but it is a re-printing of the old game so I think they are pretty similar. Getting people to sit down and play is one of my challenges as well.  It's best to find a local gaming shop that has an open board game night.

I have an as-of-now unopened Risk Legacy box on my board game shelf. I can not wait to get into this.

I am also (hopefully) getting a lot of board gaming done tonight. I will try to post a report/pics as well.

Recently played my first game of Agricola.  Excellent worker placement game that pretty much defines what a Euro is.

Going to try to play X-Wing Minis at Board Game Night tomorrow.  I have all these ships and haven't played yet!

I had one called Dogfight that was a World War I fighter pilot game. Shit was legit. Also had one called Broadsides by the same company that was a war of 1812 sea battle game. I should go dig those out.

Most of the great tabletop games are definitely not mainstream games that everyone has heard of but I wouldn't exactly call them obscure either. 

If you are interested, take a look at some of the top rated games on bgg.  http://boardgamegeek.com/browse/boardgame

Just dropped a little cash on a Kickstarter I wanted to let you guys know about.  I was an English major in undergrad/grad school, so this game is right up my alley. Plus, Moby Dick is my favorite book of all time. The game looks really good, so be sure to check out the trailer (?) as well as the two gameplay videos. Would really love to get this one over the $100,000 mark for the custom dice reach goal.
