What are some of your favourite tabletop or board games and what is so great about it? I'll start!
Takenoko as known as Panda eat da bamboo This is one of the cutest games I have ever played. You move a panda around and eat all the poor gardener's bamboo. The game is really easy to learn and really colourful. Its a great time. Love letter
You're a young bachelor that wants to win the favour of the princess. My favourite thing about this game is how easy it is to teach and how part of the game is luck. You can teach someone the game in 5 minutes and by the end of the first round they are up to par with their teacher. Pandemic
Save the world by curing 4 viruses with your team of specialists. It's a co-op game so as long as you have one person that played before they can help your group. There's also cards you can add to make the game harder for more experienced players. What are your favourites?

I am not someone who is super into board games. I dabbled in the more serious stuff and ultimately it is not my cup of tea. As a kid however I really enjoyed the board games ensue games such as trouble.

Risk is a great time. Clue. Had some fantastic sessions of Scrabble and Apples to Apples in my day. Cranium! Back in the day there was a game my friends and I used to love called Nightmare.

I've still got Nightmare, played it as recently as three years ago. I have fond memories of being yelled at by a man in the TV with first not enough makeup and then too much, while my brothers and I made up the rules as we went along. I also still have the Nightmare III expansion with Anne de Chantraine the witch as the hostess; the vampire Elizabeth Bathory expansion appears to have been lost to the ages.

That's awesome! It pleases me that retro video games aren't alone in their continued survival.

My friends and I played the first Nightmare and thought it was awesome. So we figured the only thing that could beat it was a sequel to Nightmare, because the formula would be polished, right?
The one we had was with Baron Samedi, and every time he appeared, you'd have to say, "Yo, Baron! I can dig it!"
...needless to say, it wasn't as good.

I remember playing that one! When I played it, we kept connecting it with the Baron Samedi from Goldeneye. Whoever lost in Nightmare played as Baron Samedi. It was great. Unaccountably, the phrase "dig it" fell out of favour for quite some time.

Mine include Risk, Pandemic, Munchkin, Apples to Apples, Taboo, Star Wars Monopoly (to be specific), Blokus, & Skategories. Slowly expanding from the traditional board games.

OH MAN. One game I haven't seen around is Blokus, which is a really fun strategy game. I need to bring it to a games day sometime and teach you guys how to play it!
