Board/card games

[strwbtea]

I thought I'd make a topic for the enthusiasts of board/card games. Are you a fanatic? Or do you prefer some classic games? What are your favourite games? Share with us!

To start the topic, I think my favourite at the moment is The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine. From the outside feels like a very simple card game but actually me and my friends were surprised how good of a game it is! Would definitely recommend.

I want to love board and card games but I criminally lack players for them! :TnT:

I loved Union Pacific, Catan, Scotland Yard/Mister X, various quiz/trivia games, and more. I also want to get in more complicated ones, but due to the aforementioned issue, I can't.

I love board and card games, but sadly I don't get to play them all that much. When I transfer to university I got to see if they have a game club for either one or both, because I'll gladly join them.

Some of my favorite board and card games are:
Backgammon
Phase 10
Settlers of Catan, especially the Cities and Knights of Catan expansion
Skip-Bo

Ooooh yes I do. I don't play them often, mainly only for certain occasions. But ones I really enjoy are:

Love Letter
Forbidden Desert
Sushi Go Party!
Trogdor!!: The Board Game

And classics like The Game of Life and Trivial Pursuit too!

And I haven't played it in YEARS, but good ol' Texas Hold 'Em!

I've mentioned this a fair few times :P but I absolutely love Magic: The Gathering, it's been a huge part of my life and I play it every week.
Other than that it would be:
Catan
Uno
Monopoly
D&D
Cyberpunk Red

and of course; Chess

Big fan of tabletop games. I've done some D&D, but mostly have played in Pathfinder, Dungeon World, and The Sprawl. The last two are Powered by the Apocalypse 2D6 systems, which is pretty fun. I also made a lasers & feelings-inspired "one"-page RPG called the conSTABulary is here based on a concept I wanted to explore with my gaming group (having a Stab-themed party) that nobody else got on board with. Which is totally fair, as they're all seasoned players and told me that gimmicks quickly fall apart in the kinds of long campaigns our GM likes to run.

As for other games... I don't play nearly as many as I like, but I'm fond of Horizon Zero Dawn: The Board Game (especially considering I like the franchise a lot), Star Trek Catan (...and regular Catan), and Marrying Mr. Darcy.

For cards, I was raised in a card-playing household so I enjoy cribbage, euchre, rummy, and some good ol' crazy 8s countdown. Lately I've also been interested in poker and hearts, but I use phone apps for those because it's hard to get a group together. I've also been known to enjoy a whist party or two. the fun kind, with the silly rules and such.
