Unofficial board game recommendation thread

[oskar]

I'm having a game night with some friends every other week. We used to play Risk, then poker for a long time, recently we started with War On Terror, which is unfortunately poorly balanced and would need a lot of work to make it playable.

I'm looking for a solid strategy game with a reasonable luck factor.

'Go' would be perfect if you could make it work for 6+ players. - I'm looking into that right now.

Apples to Apples. I have had the most fun with this game on several occasions. It is simply the best.

Dicecapades is also very fun, but we've found that it needs a booster pack of the trivia/challenge cards.

Ticket to Ride is also fun.

Axis & Allies is goot. I think you can only play with max of 5 though. Make the 6th dude get drinks.

Also, Twister, ldo.

It's good, but more of a mixed company party game. He wants a sausage party game.

I can't believe Settlers hasn't been mentioned yet, seems perfect based on what you want.

i think candyland looks fun, is the idea to see how many times those kids get molested by the suspect characters hanging out in peppermint forest and licorice castle?

Yeah, Settlers is very fun. I have friends I only get to see occasionally that are heavy gamers and this is the only game of their's for which I can follow the rules. With 6 players I think you need to expanded map at least.

Sequence (max players is only ~4 though)

[bigred]

My friend is a fan of Settlers. He keeps trying to get me to play but I haven't tried it yet.

[kiwiMark]

pretty sure being german-speaking oskar will have taken his fist steps, jerked it for the first time and will eventually die, all whilst playing settlers.

Sort of a mix between monopoly and GO or something like that. Definitely good stuff esp for those in to money mongering

[oomike01]

Scrable (lol speiling) and Acquire

Spin-the-Bottle. Time to get naked....your friends are chicks, right??

[oskar]

Unfortunately this is more of a sausage-fest kind of deal. I think we've tried settlers once. Can't remember why we didn't like it.
Cranium looks like fun. The guys I battle in Activity Professional should like this.


I remember Go For Broke used to be a lot of fun, but I haven't played in in 15 years. Everyone starts with 1 Million, and whoever is broke first wins. Unfortunately I don't think there's a lot of strategy to it.
