Favorite Board Game

[Rainshadow]

Yep, those who call it "Clue" obviously have no clue.    There's also a planned "Clue" movie, among a few other movies "based on" board games (which means they'll end up barely recognisable, like the so-called "Battleship" movie).

  Actually, I've seen a movie called Clue that was based off of the game.  It's a 1985 movie with Tim Curry as the butler.  It's very, VERY hilarious, and sticks rather close to the game.  Meaning, all the people have the names that are in the game (Mrs. Peacock, Ms. Scarlet, Professor Plum, etc.), the rooms are the same, secret passages are the same, etc.  It's a great movie, if you like murder mysteries (which I do, as long as there's at least a bit of humour ).

I vaguely remember that movie, but I think I only saw part of it when it was on TV.

Chess, Articulate, Trivial Pursuit.

Risk is good too, but it boils down to luck of the dice.

Monopoly always starts fun, then after an hour it drags on. The only way to avoid this is to play ruthlessly, expecting full payments from other players and not giving an inch.

Monopoly always starts fun, then after an hour it drags on.

From memory there is a short-version where you can set a time limit or play until all of the properties have been bought, and then the person with the highest total wins (cash and property values, with mortgaged properties being a negative value).

Man, every time I play the game of life, when you have to get a wife, the friends I'm with all ask: "So who's your wife?" "What's her name?" "Do I know her?"

I love Risk.

However, I've seen a ton of games I've never played on a YouTube show called TableTop in which they play board games with guests, on the channel of Nerdist I think. It's hosted by some guy who's name I forgot. I wanna play Small World, Mice Warriors, and Carcassone xD

Wil Wheaton hosts TableTop! I like Wil Wheaton. It's on the Geek and Sundry channel.

As for my favourite board game, I haven't actually played one for years, but I was a huge fan of Cludeo (Yeeeees, I'm Australian) when I was a kid. That, and Star Wars Trivial Pursuit because I always won.

[Søren]

Will Wheaton? As in Wesley Crusher Will Wheaton?

[Rusvul]

Yes, I believe so. I like him too, he's cool.

[Blaggut]

The guy who hosts Spellslingers (A Magic The Gathering show) is pretty cool too.
