  4 0 Settler's of Catan is awesome. It is normally for 4 players (though you can team people up) or you can buy an expansion that allowed 6 players. It is a really fun, challenging game. I am a total nerd and have forced some of my friends to play it with me (despite groans) and after we we're done they all said how much fun it was, and wanted to play it again. Basil answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by Basil… 0 0 Oh! And if you really want to nerd it up, go for Dungeons and Dragons the drinking game. That is a blast, but is not for everyone. For me there is nothing like staying up till 4am, getting completely plastered, and fighting Orcs and Hobgoblins with a bunch of friends. It only gets better the older I get, although I haven't had the time lately to organize any games. : ( Basil commented over 2 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  3 0 Ticket to Ride is a pretty kickass 2-5 player game. Settlers of Catan is solid for 3-4, with an 5-6 player expansion. These are both a bit more involved and on the pricier end ($30-40) but really, really fun. slackerina answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  1 0 Cosmic Wimpout is fun, easy to learn and immune to intoxication. There is no limit to the number of players and it is super cheap and portable. Kip Waddle answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 3 comments by Little Red Ryan Hood, Kip Waddle, and Kip Waddle… 0 0 I just read the rules to this it sounds fun. Any idea where I can buy Cosmic Wimpout in Seattle? Little Red Ryan Hood commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I think they have it at magic mouse in pioneer square. They have a great selection of games and would be a good place to research other games. Kip Waddle commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Make sure to get a scoreboard. It makes the game much more enjoyable.

  1 0 I love word games of any kind, so Bananagrams is one of my favorites. You can also play it with Scrabble tiles (in fact, my family has been playing basically the same game with Scrabble tiles for years). I love Scattergories too. Recently a friend of mine found a game called Perquackey at a thrift store, and it turned out to be a big hit with our group. The rules seem kind of complicated at first but it's actually pretty simple once you start playing. I also really enjoy Set , but it's not for everyone. It's a pattern recognition game and some people find it kind of frustrating. One of the nice things about set is that it can be played by one or two people, but also works well for a medium-sized group. I've heard that some of the other games made by the people who make Set are also fun, but I've never played any of them. Wits and Wagers is pretty fun for large groups; it definitely doesn't work for just two or three people. It's like a cross between a trivia game and a bluffing game. I've played Say Anything once or twice, made by the same company as Wits and Wagers, and it was decent, but I liked Wits and Wagers better. Balderdash can be pretty fun for groups, too. Okay, last game - Hoopla, from the Cranium people, is great for 2 or more players. I actually like it better than Cranium, personally. A quick web search just revealed that the game is out of print, though, so I'm not sure where to get it. If you see it at a thrift store or something, pick it up. e.strange answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 It's a dice game, but 10,000! AKA Hot Dice and Farkle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkle And I wholeheartedly second Apples to Apples and Balderdash. Callie Bishop answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 4 comments by Little Red Ryan Hood, Callie Bishop, and Little Red Ryan Hood… 0 0 I hadn't thought of balderdash, that would be great fun. Farkle has been suggested twice so I'll have to get some dice and try it. Thanks for the tips Callie. Little Red Ryan Hood commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Oh, Ryan! I didn't even realize that it was you I was answering. You've never played 10,000 with us? We play all the time. I was playing with Scottie last night at Unicorn before he left to go to your game night. He can teach you. Also, considering how many board games we play when we go to Orcas, he should be a bevvy of good ideas. Callie Bishop commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 I have played 10,000 before. Scottie got us playing Wizard which is lots of fun. I'll give scoots a hard time for not sharing more games with us. Little Red Ryan Hood commented over 2 years ago | Report 0 0 Right - and 10,000 and Farkle are the same game.

  0 0 I don't really play board games. Obvious card games are the typical ones: Gin Rummy, Spades, Poker, Blackjack, etc. My favorite games are played with bones. Get a nice set of dominoes and learn how to play Straight 5s, Mexican Train, and Chickenfoot. Then buy some dice and play Farkle and Craps. Now you are gangsta! All of these games accommodate between 4 - 7 players, playa. kitschnsync answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by Little Red Ryan Hood… 0 0 We played Mexican Train last night! it was so much fun, I wanted to be getting my corn-rows done while we played but was told my hair is too short. I'll have to find the rules to Straight 5s and Chickenfoot. Good call on the bones.

  1 1 I've had great times playing Risk with a bunch of friends. Christopher Hussein Graffeo answered in Entertainment & Film over 2 years ago | Report 1 comment by "Cagey"… 0 0 The only problem with Risk, is as you eliminate the competition, they get bored sitting around watching the balance of power shift one way and then the other. Frequently produced quarrels and fights among the high school boys who didn't have dates that would gather at my family's house to play on Friday or Saturday nights in the early 1970s.

  0 0 Contract or Shanghai Rummy and Misère are both great group card games. Both require 2-3 packs of cards (matched backs are best), so your investment is small. Contract or Shanghai Rummy is a form of gin rummy with an option to block other players from taking the top card. It can be very competitive, leading my friends to call it "cunt cards" since we always end up using the worst swears after a few hands. Rules are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_rum Misère is a bid game, where players each bid on the number of tricks they will take.
