Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Not exactly a board game, but when we play Munchkin we have a house rule that says you can pick a door card OR a treasure card when you loot the room, instead of just a door card. Helps get more gear into the game early on and makes things go off the rails faster.
