Re: Board Games

wow man, that's dorktastic! :lol:

Seriously though, how did you find these? Are they the ongoing kind of games that last for days?

Re: Board Games

It is nerdy but fun. There are hundreds of these types of things that come out every year. I just ordered them from amazon. [url="http://boardgamegeek.com"]Geek[/url] has more info on everything you will ever want to know. They are short games they dont last too long. That website has tons of stuff, and this guy has tons of reviews [url="http://www.youtube.com/thedicetower"]The Dice Tower - YouTube[/url]

The biggest gaming convention every year is hosted here in Indy I might go this year.

Re: Board Games

Awesome, I don't know where to begin, but I'd love to find a fun game to play for a couple days at a time with friends. We could dork-out together, it will be awesome.

Re: Board Games

:lol: I was just talking to a buddy in Portland the other day about trying to chip him into a Kansas City poker game via video chat. The only concern I have is seeing the reflection of his cards on the tablet screen, otherwise we're going to dork it out

Hours wasted on this is an understatement. Seems like a pointless game, but so addictive.

Re: Board Games

So if anyone is interested, there is some free software you can download so that you can play these games online, for free.

[url="http://www.vassalengine.org/"]http://www.vassalengine.org/[/url]

If you download this you can play a bunch of different games either real-time, or by email meaning each person can do their turn whenever and then submit their move, so you don't have to sit around waiting. I think this would be fun to try if anyone is interested and also can be something to try when there aren't others around to play...plus it would let me learn a couple of new games and not have to sit around waiting for others while I / they research their moves.

Re: Board Games

when i get together with friends we play some of the following:

i'd be up for this as long as I only have to play a turn once every couple of days.

Re: Board Games

There are a butt ton of games on that site, I'd be up for testing this out and seeing how it goes. I think it would be slow going for a bit if we pick a game but thats fine. We would both have to read over the rules for whatever we play though I'm sure. I am pretty sure we can get the manuals for whatever we want for free on boardgamegeek.
