Board/card games

As for card games, I'm up for anything, so long as alcohol is present.  I've grown partial to euchre.

How very Hoosier of you. After 20 years of throwing down, I only enjoy euchre with copious amounts of alcohol. It's mostly a game of luck. Only ridiculous fuckups such as misreading one's hand can offset the almighty shuffle, cut, deal when you get four people together who know what they're doing. So the more you drink, the dumber you play and the more hilarious this game becomes.

I should point out that I typically get so drunk that I need someone to go over the rules with me every time I play.  

It's like pro bowling in that the game doesn't actually start until somebody doesn't bowl a strike. Getting euchred is worse than getting your pants pulled down at communion. Me and another dude swept a four-game set from two other dudes last Saturday and we were fucking CLOWNING, son.

Let's play soon. Your wife, does she go?

She's the one that introduced me to it.  It's big with her friends in Michigan.

Yeah, I can't believe how everyone here plays Euchre in Michigan.  The bulk of them have never even tried Hearts or Spades.

Have I mentioned the game "Bang!"?  It's a card game with three or four character types -- the sheriff, his deputy, the outlaw, and renegade.  You basically "duel" everybody until you meet your objective of victory.  But if you are low on life, don't worry -- fortification comes in the way of drinking beer. 

Not a bad game.

I just remembered that "Ace of Aces" was quite enjoyable.

That, however, is not my point, which is to lament that I've just heard of BattleLore, which cannot be a good development.

Game's got a pretty good rating.

I'm looking forward to the release of this game, btw.  Hopefully it'll be at GenCon...
