I've also started playing boardgames now again. Lots of fun.
We had last Sunday a longer round of Munchkin (yeah, doesn't have a board, I know). Lasted 3 hours, and 4 of 6 players were at the end at level 9. I think in one situation it took us 10 minutes to resolve one fight, since we debated so long how we could screw each other over. Love it. Might need some sets more though.
On Tuesday we played Talisman
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talisman_(board_game) . The game is a bit slow at the beginning, but becomes more fun when you also get the chance to mess with each other. Couldn't finish it though, since we played at work (2 had to be there for supervision) and the alarm systems are activated at 11 PM, but 4 of 5 were already in the second ring.
Would prefer a round of Munchkin though.
I bought myself Carcassonne with a ton of expansions. I've played it only once, but I remember it was lots of fun. Will probably play it next week together.
Else the guys also have Catan, Risk, and some other things. I'm hoping for a great autumn/winter
.
I also thought about getting Dominion, but I've only played the online version, and didn't remember that there was so much stuff written on the cards.
Which is for sure not a problem, but since I'm in the Netherlands and play with international people, I need either games with not a big amount of text on the game parts (rules you can get online), or need to order it from the UK, so that sucks a bit.
If someone has a recommendation...
