Board/card games

[Canadouche]

Just wondering what the general consensus is.

Some all-time favorites include Balderdash, Grave Robbers from Outer Space, Bang!, Descent, Munchkin, Lunch Money, and my present favorite -- Arkham Horror.

I don't think I've heard of any of those games.  Are you making them up?

For me it's Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit.  As for the rest out there, it's more like bored games, amiright?

Scrabble's fun.  I usually lose. 

For Trivial Pursuit, it takes too long to play with too little happening between the start and finish.  In general the older, classic games kind of bore me (sorry, Monopoly fans).

Risk. Played it over new years with my drunk father who berated my brothers and I the entire time. It was excellent. Not being facetious.

Ever play Axis & Allies?

Ever play Axis & Allies?

A long time ago and very briefly.

I only played Risk a couple times but I do remember it being pretty bad-ass.

Some of my favorites: Scabble, Risk, Battleship, Trivial Pursuit, Scene It (Board or Xbox version),  Clue, Stratego, and Mahjong (the rummy-esque game, not the tile match one).. Speaking of rummy, I usually will play any card game that someone offers up. WAR! (not really, that game gets boring..) But anyway, we do a lot of Hold 'Em, Omaha, Between the Sheets, 3-5-7 (This one takes some balls if you don't set limits), 7 card no peek, to name a few

I love that Yeti misspelled "Scrabble".  Perfect.

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

Scabble is a very real game in Yeti's town.

Anyone ever played Hockey? It's truly the finest of drinking card games.

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.

Speaking of SCABBLE, how do you guys handle deciding if a word is real? Do they get to look it up before the put it down? If the put it down and it's wrong, then what? In the world of freedictionary.com, you can find the most obscure words that even Wheezer doesn't know.
