Do you faggots like board games?

I sure do.

They're a great way to fun with a group of people if you don't have video games and for whatever reason you didn't intend to have sex with them.

There are always the classics like

and more involved games like

and even ones that don't even have boards did I just blow your mind like

applestoapplesoz8.jpg

So let's talk about some of the most fun you can have on a table without the risk of breaking it and/or your back.

    I hate when people play stupid.
    Usually people's girlfriends who aren't funny.

    "Oh, that word is cute, I'll pick that one."


    ... "Get out."

    I don't do well at apples to apples because nobody seems to have the same thought processes that I do

    Same reason I think Family Feud is bullshit

    Apples to Apples is so great though.

    When I'm judge, I just read off the cards, and whichever one gets the biggest laugh out of everybody wins.

    much pissiness ensues

    Hey I have all three of those games in the OP

    Also I really want to play Descent: Journeys In The Dark but my friends are far too impatient to learn the rules for it

    I'd also really really like the Doom board game.

    I really loved Monopoly until everyone figured out you just have to buy as much property as you can
    No matter what
    Who ever had the most property usually won

    apples to apples is fun, but it becomes a lot less fun when you know every card

    like first time someone pulled out the Challenger card, it was hilarious, but now, eh

    also, OP fails for lack of Settlers of Catan
