The Pants Party Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So my friends and I recently got into tabletop games. My one friend has been huge into D&D his whole life, but none of us ever wanted to do it. He finally convinced us to try Dominion and we were hooked from there. We now own dozens of games between us. I've recently backed the Kickstarter campaigns of Divorce!, Pixel Guardians, Vye, and Of Dungeons Deep! I also backed the digital version of Boss Monster, and I pledged one of the higher tiers to get the physical game. So I guess technically I don't own any games yet, since Boss Monster still hasn't shipped and the rest won't launch until next year. We did put together a huge order rollforcrit.com and I have Thunderstone Advance starter set on the way though. Anyway, who else plays these types of games? What are your favorites? I really do enjoy Dominion, Forbidden Island/Desert, Loot!, For Sale, Race for the Galaxy, Seven Wonders, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear. Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 My brother and I are into tabletop a little (check out the Wheaton show on Geek and Sundry). We are more into D&D and its derivitives. We had a nice campaign going in D&D with a zombie apocalypse storyline but between some personal stuff for us and some issues for the other party members we havent actually had a session since June. We started a Mutants and Masterminds campaign (think D&D with Marvel/DC characters) but only did like one session. You should check out Red Dragon Inn and Munchkin. You and the family would love Munchkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Omega X Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I would love to see digital adaptations of Seven Wonders, Boss Monster, and Arkham Horror. Digital versions of these tabletop games make for a smoother experience when you don't need someone auditing the rules of each round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDI looks pretty great, I'll add it to my wishlist. Munckin is a riot, but that always takes forever. We all just end up blocking everyone else from getting their final kill and it drags on and on and on. I would love to see digital adaptations of Seven Wonders, Boss Monster, and Arkham Horror.

Yeah, the Dominion browser app is nice for not having to worry about how many buys or actions you have. Ascension app is good as well. I backed the Boss Monster digital Kickstarter, so I'll get that app when it gets released in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If done properly there should be mass amounts of vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medica Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Funny, but what's got me back into tabletop is mobile gaming! I used to play quite a loat with my brother and cousins back when there wasn't such an onslaught of timekillers at our disposal, but moved on to other things in high school. Then I came across some adapted tabletop apps and some weeks ago... and now hardly play anything else on my phone! Gotta invite friends to join me, like in good old times.

Floyd. Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Haha, damn Bear, I was going to recommend Munchkin, too Family friendly and extremely easy, but still fun. Boss Monster is a little more one note, but still occasionally fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertoad Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Man, I wish I had people to play tabletops with. Nobody I know is into that sort of thing, so count yourselves lucky if you've people to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreegles Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I've recently, along with a few friends, have gotten pretty into D&D. We meet every Sunday and play until at least 4 in the morning every time. I've always given D&D and the people that play it a hard time until I played it for the first time and I was hooked. Now I can't get enough of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroDustin Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My friends and I (and wife) play table top games about once a month (always something different) The ones we like though, are forbidden desert, Sheriff of Nottingham, Super Fight, and Exploding Kittens (Exploding kittens is really freaking awesome imo) Id like to play Dead of winter next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear. Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Pants, you should check out the card game Superfight. It can get really creative and fun. It even has an anime booster pack. We take out the DBZ cards before playing with that pack. It's really hard for anyone to make a good argument against Goku or Vegeta. Or anyone with all the dragon balls.

You play it once, you've played it a hundred times. It's the Settlers of Catan of card games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all so subjective upon who has the best imagination, and the referee always seems either too indecisive or way quelled too much of the imagination. Also my buddy's wife was super drunk and made no sense most of the time, so arguing with her was impossible. I prefer games with set rules so there isn't any fight about who won and how.

the_b1ues Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Never played a prober tabletop game. When I read the title I thought you ment the classic arcade games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd. Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 My regular group of friends started getting into D&D recently but I can't join their campaign due to never having the time to put aside Super jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 ^That's another thing I can't get into. It has more of a rule structure than those games bear and I mentioned, but there's still a lot of control by the DM (ref) and too much randomness from the dice rolls for my liking.

Yeah, it really helps to have a reasonable group. Imagine playing it with Jakez... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
