What are your top 3 board games?
1 - 14 of 14 Posts
@Patrick sounds like you really enjoy the long and involved games!! Have you played Axis and Allies or the Game of Thrones board games? Both of those take forever... I've only played each of them once or twice.
My top three would probably be:
Colt Express:
Everybody plays western bandits who are all robbing the same train. Each player tries to rob the most money from the passengers. The gameplay involves planning out your characters actions in advance, (move left/right, punch, shoot, try to rob someone). Then once everyone has planned their moves, the actions get executed in order. The fun is trying to plan your moves in advance, and then watching the chaos when things don't go as planned during the execution phase.
Sheriff Of Nottingham:
One player is the sheriff of Nottingham, the other players are merchants trying to bring good into the market at Nottingham. You have the option to either bring in legal good or contraband, and the Sheriff has the option of either checking your bag or letting you pass without checking your bag. It's a bluffing style game, but pretty different from a lot of the other bluffing games I've played. This game may be higher on my list then it should be, because when I play it everyone really plays up their medieval characters, which is a lot of fun. Not sure what it would be like if you played it normally.
Code Names:
A simple concept, but a really fun game!!

I don't play enough boards games of different varieties to warrant a top 3 but here are 3 that I do enjoy:
Azul

You take turns collecting groups of pattern tiles to lay out on your board. You compete with other players for certain layouts that yield the most points. Pretty chill game, until near the end where your actions will affect other players.
Horrified
![Font Toy Electronic device Space Gadget]()
This is a co-op game where you and your friends aim to defeat the monsters that are terrorizing the village. I like the flexibility in that you can play on your own or up to 5 players. You can also select the number of monsters you want on the board, and the monsters each have varying degrees of difficulty to defeat. Typically not a short game by default, but the speed can be dictated by how many monsters you add to the board. Requires a lot of communication and planning. Great production value too!
Sushi Go Party!
![Font Cuisine Rectangle Dish Carmine]()
It has a board, but it's mostly a card game. This one is good for its many different game variations. You can play 2 player without the board, or get a group and make things interesting. You pass your group of cards but not before choosing one for yourself in order to make a sushi meal or combo that rewards you with the highest points, but others may or may not be aiming for the same dish! Plenty of curveballs along the way depending on the game variant you choose.
