Which tabletop games do or did you play? (if any)

[The_J]

3/4 of Antilogic's list, plus a few more.
From what I can see on my stack at the moment:

• Settlers of Catan
• Zombies
• Dominant Species
• Seven Wonders
• Tempus (not played, doesn't look too good, but was cheap)
• Chess
• Lap Dance (yes, that's a board game, but haven't played it yet)
• Robo Ralley
• Ticket to Ride
• Power Grid
• Euphrat and Tigris
• Blokus
• Munchkin (yeah, I know, doesn't have a board)
• Lost Cities (only 2 players sadly)
• Smallworld
• Carcassonne

At friends:

• Arkham Horror
• Agricola
• Battlestar Galactica
• A game with pirates, forgot the name
• Dominion
• ...more...

Basically all recommendable, besides Zombies, because that's pure dice rolling, without many decisions (and chess, because it's actually a boring game). Some are more complicated (Arkham Horror needs at least 1 hour of explanation...every effing time), some are easier (Carcassonne).
Wished I had more time to play. Euphrat & Tigris and PowerGrid I've only played once, and one of the 7 Wonders expansions not at all yet.
Time, damn time.

Oh, and Monopoly, a long time ago (not a good game ^^).
Actually got into boardgames just in the last 2 years. Was a good decision, so much fun .

I forgot Dominion, but that's a good one too. So long as you play without the worst expansion aka Alchemy. Stupid potions.

We play "Man, Don't Get Annoyed". The winner dies and their corpse is found 15 years later.

Smallworld, Carcassonne, Fluxx (Sci-Fi, Pythons or Pirates) and Gloom (standard or Lovecraft) tend to make up the bulk of the gaming in my group lately.

Lately, mostly Smallworld since its the newest addition (Two games, so far I'm undefeated but I think people are starting to realize how bad a mistake it is to let me have the sorcerers).

I'm hoping to throw in Ticket to Ride into the mix at some point.

In our house we play a lot of Eurorails (with some MIT variants like 1/2 price Scandinavia), Ticket to Ride (US and Scandinavia), Settlers of Catan (we haven't ventured past the original) and team dominoes. We have a great game store that we go to and I'm going to check out some of the recommendations. Thanks!

Turned the boy onto Stratomatic baseball. I think he wore out Verlander's arm against me.

I have a special dance I do when I'm the skellies.

I'm a real <self-censored> with the skellies.

Wimp. The house rules I play with say that ALL the major cities have to be built into for a player to win. This ensures that Stockholm and Madrid don't get ignored, and that people have alternatives when the middle of the board becomes too crowded. In addition, we randomize one extra city to become a major city for that game only.

Another house rule is that if a player's train derails, that player must pay an environmental cleanup fee that's equivalent to what they'd pay if they drew the tax card (the amounts of which we decided to double, since they're way too low).

Ergh...frikkin' hate Dominion. You might as well be playing on your own, there's basically no interaction with the other people.

 

[Thedrin]

That is a negative of the base game for many card permutations and the main problem I had with it when I first started playing it, but the Intrigue pack goes some way to addressing this situation.

Edit: also Dominion: Intrigue is a game that can be played by itself. You don't need to also have Dominion.

Spoiler :

Uh blast from the past. I am surprised how much nostalgia this image evoked in me. Great game

I was gonna write your post.

 

[warpus]

Eurorails seems like a fun game, never heard of it until now.

 

[Antilogic]

Ergh...frikkin' hate Dominion. You might as well be playing on your own, there's basically no interaction with the other people.

Like Thedrin mentioned, this does depend a bit on what cards you have, but overall I agree there is less interaction than with other games on my list.

I've never played Eurorails, I'll need to look it up on BGG and see if it's at my local club.

 

[Yeekim]

Ooh! Scotland Yard is fun!
Our group has also played:
Catan (with expansions),
Carcassone,
Le Havre,
Factory Manager,
Power Grid,
Caylus,
Puerto Rico,
Risk
Game of Thrones
...
and I'm probably forgetting a few.

But we've all agreed that Agricola is the game to rule them all.
Also, Farmers of the Moor and Through the Seasons expansions are highly recommended.

Monopoly needs to be killed with fire, it is a disgrace for all boardgames. People who play it simply don't know what they are missing out on.

To win at Trump, you really had to master chapters 7, 11, and 13 of the rules.

Oh my. I like those rules. I am going to propose those. The idea is to get people to actually go to Scandinavia otherwise why would you spend the money when all the resources are easier to find on the main continent or UK?

Other variants we've added include using two max load 12 movement trains, charging €2 for going over the top of competing train lines, build before your turn starts (speeds up the game) instead of after and four open cards.

Eurorails seems like a fun game, never heard of it until now.

We really like it.

Good one.

Aren't chapters 7, 11 and 13 related to bankruptcy?

Yep. Remember who posted it.

 

[Steph]

In good old time, played relatively often
- Civilization (board game, but on old one not based on Sid Meier's civilization, very different approach).
- Europa Universalis
- Supremacy
- Trival pursuit

and also a LOT of Advanced Squad Leader (ASL), but that's more wargame than boardgame. Also the Cry Havoc serie (medieval wargame)

More recently
- Civilization again (my "own" version, I redid the map and counter to look nicer, but same rules)
- Vinci
- Carcassonne during vacation

Other more casual games
- Monopoly
- Quarto
- Chess
- Stratego
