We thought we?d take advantage of the holiday shopping lots of people are in the midst of to answer yet another listener request ? today?s lesser-known board games. Board game night isn?t just for wholesome family entertainment anymore ? at least some of the time.
- Parker Brothers, Milton-Bradley and Hasbro
- ?Monopoly,? ?Life,? ?Trivial Pursuit,? ?Sorry? and Pop-o-Matic Bubbles
- ?Apples to Apples? commercials on the actual TV
- ?Cards Against Humanity?: ?Apples to Apples,? but wrong, and ways to combine the two
- Ricky Gervais, Joan Rivers and offensiveness as a necessary human coping mechanism
- Card games that are easy to tote anywhere: ?Fluxx,? ?We Didn?t Playtest This at All,?
- Licensed games: ?Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit,? ?Star Wars Monopoly,? ?Lord of the Rings Risk,? and a classic ?Star Trek Trivial Pursuit? I own (plus an anecdote about spoilers)
- ?Haunted Mansion Life?
- ?Dixit?
- ?Ticket to Ride? and the very awesome ?Ticket to Ride? episode of ?Tabletop?
- ?Scrabble? on a board vs. on a device
- Cooperative games and how they reduce some of the things people don?t like about board games (competition and cheating)
- ?Pandemic? and ?Sentinels of the Multiverse?
- Cryptozoic?s licensed games
- Liar?s dice
- ?Zombie Dice? and ?Cthulhu Dice?
- Some resources: TableTop, Board Game Geek, GeekDad?s game posts, GeekMom?s game posts
- Listener mail! Someone finally got a joke of my T-shirt from our T-shirt episode. Spencer, whose girlfriend Renate got him into the podcast, got the whole thing.
- Our Brian Games section
My research:
- I just played a lot of games for this one.
