Curious, what's your favorite non-video, non-playground game? I'm talking about board games, card games, pencil and paper games and their ilk.

I adore mancala and the pen and paper game of Box In, where you make a grid on a sheet of paper and each person takes turns making a line connecting one dot to another in order to make boxes. And every time you make a box, you fill in your initial. And the person with the most boxes at the end wins.

Never have I ever can be fun, and... Hmm. Making up stories about people with someone while people watching is pretty fun.

[(Anonymous)]

In the same vein: the Monkey Paw Game.

Scrabble is a good classic.

The Dictionary Game, where you open a dictionary and pick a word and then everyone writes made up definitions (and whoevers turn it is also adds in the real definition) and you all try and guess which is the real one.

Lord of the Rings Risk. Carcassonne. Scategories. We're a big board game/game family so there are a bunch of them I love.

[shortysc22]

My favorite games right now are Taboo and Cards Against Humanity.

[(Anonymous)]

Fluxx, especially Zombie Fluxx.

I had a mancala as a kid but my sisters NEVER wanted to play it with me. Ever.

My favorite board games are the Mayfair Games Crayon Rail games. We seriously have all 8 Earth-based games, and the fantasy one. They are fantastic for 2-4 players (up to 6, I believe, but I have never played with more than 5 because that is the size of my family!) but get considerably more difficult with more than 4. There's a ton of replay value because your railroad is dependent on your combination of cards: delivering a load found in one city to the city in demand of that product. This line of games has been around since the early '90s, and a lot of the younger Table Top-watching board gaming set have never given it a chance. They're all really into Ticket to Ride, which also has trains, but I find it to be quite limited and kinda dull. EuroRails was our first and probably still our family's favorite. We also have a few house rules (not surprising when we've been playing them for 15+ years) and family names for a lot of the load chip icons. Anyway, Mayfair rail games are super fun! /ramble

I like playing Rummy. There is also that other party game, that's similar to Taboo, where you have a handful of cards with people/places/things, and you pick one and pitch it as matching the topic card (eg: bluffing a "Fox News" as the epitome of the "Dramatic" topic card.).

Dungeons and Dragons, Settlers of Cataan, Apples to Apples/Cards Against Humanity.

I've always loved Boggle. My brother always beat me but I had fun finding really obscure words that everyone else had to look up because they didn't believe it was a real word.

I suppose I could have done that in Scrabble too but that was always too slow for me.

[nightscale]

I'm not sure what my top board game is but I really enjoy:

Shadows over Camelot, Ticket to Ride(any of them), Puerto Rico, Settlers of Catan(all variants), Lancaster, Tzolkin, Evo, Carcassonne and Bohnanza.

When I was in primary school and early-secondary school, my friends and I used to play a game which we called Uno Speed, I think? We used Uno cards, but only the numbers, and the game was between two people. Each side had half a deck at the beginning, and each side held a certain number of cards (I think it was 15?) from their own deck. Then one card from each deck was placed face up in the centre. The players had to place a card that was either one up or one down from the numbers facing up. If both side ran out of cards they could use, they would both have to take a card from their deck and try to continue from there. Repeat until one side runs out of cards in their hand, and slaps their hand down on one of the decks, preferably the smaller deck (but if they accidentally slap the bigger deck, they can't go back). Whoever runs out of cards first wins.

It was a very high-speed, fast-thinking game. My brother and I were champions at it. Man, I should challenge him to a game one of these days, I miss that game.

[shortysc22]

It reminds me of Spit in a way, sounds like a fun game.

I've got an awesome group of friends who do regular board game nights as well as tabletop RPGs, so my list has expanded a bunch recently.

Board Games:
The Battlestar Galactica board game is really fun, as long as you can handle game mechanic based betrayal. My group can, and the games are often hilarious.
I've been really liking Small World lately. It's kind of like Risk in that you conquer territory with army numbers, but with different armies getting different powers, and it can be played in about 30-45 minutes.

Tabletop RPGs:
We've been playing a lot of Apocalypse World and hacks thereof. I'm really liking Dungeon World so far. It aims for a D&D feel, but with a much more minimalist ruleset, so there's more character/plot interaction and less straight-up battle stuff.

[elaminator]

Solitaire and Monopoly, though I haven't played either in forever. Oh, and checkers.

[hwc]

Everything. I love games!

My favourite game played with dice is "Fischeln" ("smells fishy"), which is called that because when you don't get the required points in your turn you have a "Fisch", and when it looks like you won't make the point you get teased that it's starting to smell fishy.

My favourite card games... let me break it down by numbers of players! Two: Pinagel, a game that no one outside my family has ever heard of. Seriously, I've never found anyone I'm not related to who knows that game. For three players, the three-player version of Schafkopf, and Skat. Four players: Hudeln, which is a bit like Watten but you don't play in teams of two against each other, but everyone is on their own. All those games are played with the German/Bavarian deck of cards.
For more players I like Rummy, or party games like Taboo.

As for board games, I'm pretty old-school. I like Mensch ärgere Dich nicht, Backgammon and Nine Men's Morris. But there's also a great game where you train your memory by recounting and adding details to crime cases which I love playing.

(We play a lot of games in my family. On both sides. My father and his siblings used to play in Schafkopf tournaments, as did my grandfather on my mom's side. I literally cannot remember a single family visit where someone didn't play some kind of game, even if it was just the adults playing Skat while we kids waited for them to finish (they would always put the money they played with into our piggy banks, and we got to count and divide it ourselves). When my nine-year old cousin stayed with us over Christmas we taught her how to play Rummy and played for hours in the evening.)

Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Cranium, Kings In a Corner (card game) and this game played with dominoes that I can't think of the name of right now.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm loving Munchkin.

[(Anonymous)]

Encore! We love singing in our family, and the point is to think up as many songs as possible that contain a word drawn from a deck.

I also like Apples to Apples (I like the aspect of playing to the dealer, knowing some people will pick the most logical card and soe people the funniest...), Cranium, Upwords, and Settlers of Catan. (I NEVER win but I always try to get a monopoly on something for fun)

Settlers of Catan!

[(Anonymous)]

With expansions.

[(Anonymous)]

I love the "box in" game (we called it "dots" where I grew up, but it's the same thing).

Otherwise, it's gotta be Go.

[(Anonymous)]

I am in love with Dominion lately, since there's so many ways to play and different strategies you can use to get the upper hand. So much fun.

Elder Sign is a blast too, if you're into the eldritch horror thing. It's a pretty fun dice system, and I like that it's cooperative, but it is fiendishly difficult to win with fewer people.

And the Machine of Death card game just came in the mail recently, and that's such a hilarious party game I can't get over it. For a game about ensuring someone's death, it's surprisingly light-hearted.
