Growing up, one of my favorite pastimes of all was the boardgame. Almost any boardgame. Sadly as I got older these were the choices. Pictionary, Cranium, Trivial Pursuit and Jenga. All fun games mind you, which I enjoy playing still. But the creativity seemed to stagnate. Where were the great games like Pay Day, The Mad Magazine Game, Which Witch etc? Flash forward to 2012 and boardgaming as a hobby is roaring back to the front of the pack. Geek-ceptance, along with unique european offerings that have turned the US boardgame manufacturers on their ears. I know this has been build for a year or more, but Im just now climbing aboard. If you used to play boardgames, miss it, and wonder why there are no boardgames anymore, check out Wil Wheaton's youtube show Tabletop. It's a great place to see whats hip in the new era of boardgaming. And with that bloated preamble, below is a living list of games that I have/want and an update after playing them. These are in no order other than numerical :-)
- Zombie Dice ★ Ordered this last week should arrive soon. Seems a quick learn, quick pick up and play, the perfect type game to act as a gateway to the hard drugs of complete boardgame addiction. ★ STATUS: Unplayed.
- Munchkin ★ Speaking of gateway drug, this, according to multiple sources, is the easily accessable dungeon crawler for everyone. Polyhedrals can't be far behind. ★ STATUS: Unplayed.
- Ticket To Ride ★ Snarky, snappy and maybe even unknown reference soon to be here. This space reserved. ★ STATUS: Unplayed.
- Settlers of Catan ★ Snarky, snappy and maybe even unknown reference or two, soon to be here. This space reserved. ★ STATUS: Unplayed.
- Castle Panic ★ Snarky, snappy and maybe even unknown reference or two, soon to be here. This space reserved. ★ STATUS: Unplayed.
