Hey All
I have recently started playing Boardgames and was wondering if anyone else partakes.
There is a convention on in Limerick the day we play Zebre. Decisions decisions.

Re: Boardgames
My kids (7 and 10) love:
love letter
Jaipur
Sushi Go!
Coup
Exploding kittens
And really like
Small World
Carcassonne
Munchkins
For some reason I haven't brought down Settlers of Catan from the attic as I always thought it was a bit harder than Carcassonne but other parents tell me it actually works better with kids.
So in general they prefer short, casual games over those that take a lot of setting up. I know most of those above are really basically card games.
I'm looking forward to trying some coop games with them, Stuffed Fables is on my radar.
Edit@OSS I saw a nice new edition of Colditz in a catalogue recently...

Colditz!!!! Jeepers, memories. Used to play that when over in the cousins when I was a kid. Loved it. Around the same era - Diplomacy.Oldschoolsocks wrote:kids are loving harry potter cleudo, my fave as a kd was escape from Colditz maybe when the kids hit 11 I'll introduce them to the joys
Wonder if they are still around
I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Re: Boardgames
I played Diplomacy a fair bit as a kid and even in college a few times. The games still exist, and there's even clients where you can play online with a gang of mates. I was roped into doing that once - was a bit of fun. https://www.playdiplomacy.com/The Doc wrote:Colditz!!!! Jeepers, memories. Used to play that when over in the cousins when I was a kid. Loved it.

Re: Boardgames
If you want to loose a few hours, quite a few then try to find Talisman by Games Workshop, I recommend the second edition, large dragon on the front, you'll get it on eBay. Epic, super geeky but epic.
