Board Game thread

I just picked up Bob Ross: The Art Of Chill because of course.

[PkmnTrainerJ]

So I backed Maybe It's Poison as it didn't seem to expensive and had some reasonable stretch goals too -

4 days left on it. Trodgor looks great too.

What are a few decent and straightforward games I can introduce my girlfriend to? We both like playing little games like Backgammon and Yahtzee every now and then so I think adding a few fun new ones in would be cool.

Side note both Trogdor and Maybe It's Poison look awesome, I might actually have to donate to those.

Hunt down Codenames Duet for sure. I love the Codenames concept but I wanted to be able to play it more - and it just works out so well, I think it's actually better than the standard game and you can even still play it with teams if you ever have people over, etc. Should be around $20 as well.

Maybe It's Poison got funded! Looking forward to that arriving later this year.

Definitely going to look for Codenames, I'm at a hobby shop later so I'll see if they've got it.

Random question but does anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced copy of Shadow Hunters?

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I found regular Codenames at the shop, but they didn't have the Duet version so I'll have to keep looking for that. I've also ordered Bears vs Babies because it looked a good laugh and we both liked Exploding Kittens.

I've also just seen they've got a third game called You've Got Crabs which also looks absurd and you get to where giant crab claws. They have some bizarre ideas.

Also, whilst I'm here, what are the differences between the 'One Night' games? Or are they the same thing with different flavour text?

I'm more familiar with the regular version of Werewolf, which is essentially just Mafia. Played One Night Werewolf a couple of times ages ago but it's been a while. I remember it being quite fun.

[apsham]

Bears vs. Babies is awesome, yeah!

Duets was hard to track down - I found my copy at Best Buy of all places.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I've found it on Amazon so I'll put it on my list at some point.

I also managed to track down a secondhand copy of Shadow Hunters on eBay, so that was pleasing.

Bears vs Babies is amazing

Download a free copy of Decathlon, as an alternative to Yahtzee. It's the same kind of 'push your luck' dice rolling kind of thing, but with twelve different events it keeps it fresh.

Is there a website or anything that tells you what pubs have board games?

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yes

Side note my copy of Shadow Hunters arrived off eBay and I'm quite pleased with how my little collection is growing now.

[9 to 5]

Nonce. 

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

As an actual answer, I only know the two in Cardiff, which doesn't help you at all.

[RPS]

Great deception board games? 

Have the Resistance. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah the Resistance and Secret Hitler are both faves of mine.

Is there a game similar to pandemic in structure (subject can be anything) but a bit more challenging?

Is anyone in the UK interested in getting in to A Game Of Thrones LCG?

The starter decks come out this Thursday and most are actually good and very playable, there are lots of cool small events to support these around the country so if you're interested, let us know and I can hook you up with some people and events!
