FAvorite Board Game

[Dreadnought]

Risk 2210 AD! There's nothing like nuking the whole planet in one turn.

I gather all my forces on the moon. All the other players are like "what on earth?" Then I get the Invade Earth card and invade earth from the moon...I once got all of Australia and half of Asia with that card

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Risk, Monopoly, Chess and Space Hulk in no particular order, you gotta love toasting those 'nids or overpowering those termies .

 

[Joeb WK]

You cant get better than Escape From Atlantis.

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Chess, gomoku (a sort of tic-tac-toe five-in-a-row), backgammon, a little go now and then and checkers ocasionally.

 

[puglover]

Risk and Chess. Old-School.

 

[Dreadnought]

Risk is OK, just one game I had an army of 10 decreased to 4 by an army of 2(!!) guys!

 

[Dreadnought]

What I mean is that Risk is more Oh I have lady luck on my side than strategy

 

[classical_hero]

Sounds cool...do you have a link?

[Codpiece]

Am I the only person here who likes a game of draughts (or 'checkers' as colonial cretins call it)?

Risk is also very good, but can devolve into arguments, especially if you've gathered a group of friends round especially and one of them gets squashed early on. They usually end up as tea boy, and it's not appreciated (I hasten to add it wasn't me!).

Would also love to try diplomacy, but can't find enough people who are interested locally.

 

[Dreadnought]

I have that problem too (not enough people to play diplomacy) but THANK GOD FOR EMAIL GAMES!

Never heard of any of them

Boardgames is not a popular hobby in Hong Kong... I would never heard of any of them too, if I have not met my pals.

Many of my pals are my schoolmates and elder schoolmates in secondary school. A few of them found out about AD&D, and that led them to other boardgames too. They talked to someone in Charitas Youth Centre, and started a boardgaming group called "Game's Life"... and I met them at school's chess club and joined Game's Life. That's how I started my 12 years of boardgaming

Hong Kong doesn't have any well-known boardgame producers... there was a few guys publishing a card game they designed but that's about it. Most of the games my pals and I play are bought in a remaining few game shops, and mostly online. The games usually are from USA or Germany publishers.

Most people in Hong Kong also don't know about those boardgames I mentioned... they probably don't even know the term "boardgames". The only games they know about is a few of the old classics (Chess, Chinese Chess, Go, Monopoly, UNO, Scrabble).

 

[MrRats]

Chess, Monopoly
Risk is ok, but I always lose!!
Why can't chance be on my side just one time!?

 

[Neomega]

Axis and Allies

 

[Dreadnought]

Yea, Axis and Allies is a good game, but it takes so long to set up!
