    This is the one I pitched

    man I really enjoyed that game when I was a kid, although I may have only ever played it twice and enjoyed painting the pieces.

    Also, a friend of mine is getting married in a few weeks, and a bunch of us are pitching in and buying him this

    mother fucker loves scrabble

    Catan was all the rage in the political science department, back when I was wasting time getting my poly sci degree.

    Fuck, you know what I've always wanted to do? Buy a bunch of Battletech miniatures and turn them into a chessboard.

    Like, tanks and apcs and such as pawns, helicopters as knights, dropships as rooks and everything else unique mechs, one side painted darklight urban and the other something like woodland.

    Unfortunately I'd have to order all of them as die-cast metal at like $10-14 dollars a pop.

    I mean, it would be a totally bitchin' chess set.

    But it would also cost about $300 dollars and tireless manhours painting and assembling the motherfuckers.

    One day I'll be a rich motherfucker and I'll do it.

    I'd imagine that the weight of pure gold keeps the tiles firmly rooted in place.

    It only takes one oaf to bump the table, and the gold scrabble is as useless as every other scrabble in the face of Travel Scrabble's clippy tiles.

    hero quest was great, even though the goblins' arms always broke off and there was never enough furniture to build the perfect maps

    they should make a video game version

    Anyone remember this game?

    nicebox.jpg

    You would run your dudes along this board:
    fireball.jpg
    and try to get the crystal. You could go through caves and over bridges. Then every once in a while you would get to roll a FRIGGIN FIREBALL down a path and cause death and destruction.

    This is where the fireballs came from:

    Greatest board game ever.

    Except the new version has 1 being the Scout and like 9 being the Marshal or whatever.

    I guess having the 1 be the most powerful piece on the board was just too fucking complicated for some people.

    It really throws me off when I'm playing the new version.
