What are your favorite board games? Me and my friends love playing board games, but I get the feeling their tired of playing the same things. What do you guys usually play? My favorite board game of all time is HeroQuest. I never get tired of playing it. Also love Catan, Arkham Horror, Betrayal House on the Hill, Spyfall (great at parties)

We've really been enjoying Distilled a lot. It's really engaging. The irony is that it's really hard to play while drunk, but the theme of the game is distilling alcohol, so you have to drink while playing... Right?

I've also found a little indie card game called Wizards of the Grimoire that is absolutely fantastic. It scratches that Mtg itch, but without all the being poor part.

Hey, if there are two of us Wizards of the Grimoire fans around here then this thing must be getting pretty popular :)

Great game, the mana/cooldown mechanic is really cool.

Right? It's such a brilliant mechanic to flip the spells and mana. I'm not a big fan of drafts or deck building, so Wizards was a breath of fresh air.

Take a look at Mindbug it's also a lot of fun, especially if you preferred the creature/summoning aspect of Mtg.
