Topic: What Are Your Favourite Table Top Games?

Not really tried a deck building game. Mostly sticking to co-op board games so the group wins or loses together. Got our next game of Pandemic Legacy on Sunday, everyone loves playing that.

@LieutenantFatman I struggle with the co-op board games, shame really since my group are all seemingly obsessed with Zombicide, I find it deathly (ha!) boring.

The Crisis expansions for the DCDBG are co-op affairs and largely inspired by the Legendary deck builders - though I much prefer the game engine in the DC games.

I also like deck builders as it's relatively cheap. I've spent plenty of cash on miniatures for skirmish type games and enjoyed it - but with models getter more expensive (and admittedly, far more detailed) all the time, I'm happy with a couple of boxes full of cards.

Not sure I know anyone personally in to Star Wars: Armada, but Fantasy Flight have just announced the Executor Super Star Destroyer 'miniature'. It's 2 foot long and wont retail for less than £150 I reckon.

@RogerRoger it looks pretty amazing. But it is massive!

Just in case you haven't looked for it yet.
😂

@RogerRoger That's from gen-con, so very possibly a production prototype. Don't fold the wallet up just yet!

This is from Fantasy Flight's promo page.
So I'd say the gen con one is an unpainted sample.

@Kidfried Heard of it but never played. Reviews well.

@RogerRoger
Over halfway through season one. I'm not sure if I could destroy the cards either but my friend seems ok with it. I just hope we win that final mission!

@Kidfried
Highly recommended. Not heard of that no, sounds like an interesting one.

Hopefully this thread isn't too old to resurrect.

@RogerRoger I was reading a review of the Sonic: Battle Crashers game on Kotaku. It looks like a simplified version of Formula D.

BUT

The reviewer linked this https://www.shinobi7.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-battle-racer.html which also looks a bit like a riff on Formula D too, but much more in depth than Battle Crashers - plus expansions!!! =O

Very positive rating on BoardGameGeek too...

@RogerRoger No worries.
Battle Crashers looks pretty good I think. The miniatures look really good!

Formula D is a decent game. It comes with a simple and advanced method of play, so is pretty accessible. I can't think that they'd make a Sonic game too complicated though.

I am not a great fan of tabletop games. The only one I really enjoy is Munchkin. Also, I've recently known that there are nearly 10 variations of the game, even with kittens! The only problem with Munchkin is that it may last too long, especially if you are playing with new people and have to explain the rules.

@nasty_hamster So long as it can be wrapped up within the time of a game of Talisman (my longest was 7 hours), it's not too long

@KALofKRYPTON Ok, Talisman wins)
I think the longest Munchkin I've ever played was nearly 6 hours.

@nasty_hamster Walking talking Jesus! That seems like a very long game of Munchkins! That Talisman game had 5 players, running every expansion we had and only 2 Talismans (you need one for the endgame).

@KALofKRYPTON Our game had 8 players and we were arguing about the rules for 1 hour nearly. So nothing strange.

@nasty_hamster Sounds like playing any variation of Legendary with my uncle...

@KALofKRYPTON There always should be a person in this kind of games who's sure the rule you're following is wrong and he considers it his duty to find out the truth. Classic.

@Kidfried I get bored too fast. After I've played once, I don't want to do it again as I know all the rules.
Not the same with video games btw as they have 'story' which is changeable during the game.

Anybody played Cyberpunk 2020? I'll admit, I'd never heard of it before the CDPR game reveal because I wasn't really that much into tabletop games. This one really fascinates me, though.

@ApostateMage Never played it - it's very well regarded though.

If I'm honest, as with video games - deep RPGs don't really do much for me. While I love the D&D notions of keeping the same game going for years, I just don't have the attention span!

Thanks to a great article/puff piece on Kotaku - I now know that Warhammer: Kill Team is a thing...

...this could be rather bad for my bank balance!
