No particular order, current favs are:

  • Ticket to Ride
  • Carcassonne
  • Wits & Wagers
  • Apples to Apples (*house rules only*)
  • Family Feud
  • Catchphrase
  • Codenames
  • Uno
  • Bridge
  • Euchre
  • Hearts / Spades
  • Sevens
  • Bulls***
  • Mexican Train
  • Almost all the Jackbox games, like Quiplash

Kinda tired of all the Cards against Humanity-style games. CAH only seems to be worthwhile if you have a TON of cards available as opposed to just one or two packs that everyone's seen.

Ticket to Ride is great and the European Routes version is a lot of fun.

Sushi Go is a fun little card game, easy to pick up, always makes folks happy.

Flux is also a fun card game, with lots of variant packs.

Secret Hitler is darned good, and isn't as coarse as one would think.

Talisman is a classic, but be prepared for a long, long game.

Arkham Horror can be a blast if you have a group of friends who are into HP Lovecraft or at least know about the mythos.

Forbidden Island is a great cooperative game.

We've enjoyed Sushi Go, too

Flux can be entertaining, but needs the right crowd.

I'm not a fan of Secret Hitler; I find other "guessing" games more entertaining. Maybe it needs more playthroughs on my part.

I like Talisman online; the iOS port seems pretty good.

Forgot to add earlier:  Pandemic and Azul.

Been trying to play Betrayal at House on the Hill, Small World, and Gloom -- but nobody seems to want to dive into these.

Betrayal can be great fun. Haven't tried Small World and Gloom yet.

Anyone else ever play Twixt? It's an older game that I loved as a kid but haven't ever found anyone else who plays/has played it.

I have a ton of older games that nobody wants to dig into.

Have a number of friends who want to have "game night", but then say "bring a game" without having a plan of what they'd actually want to play.   Plus they invite 8-10 people, which severely limits the number of games one can play with a group that large.

      Cam will be on a reality show, airing in January

      By d-dave · Posted

      There's a real physical toll that playing in the NFL takes on the body.  Certain things just won't work the same, which will make some of those challenges painful and hard.  These folks are all rich and have cushy lives to return to.  I'm not saying Cam will leave first, but I can see it after a few episodes when old injuries flare up.  Or he decides he's done with it.

      His size could work against him…BUT Cam is a weird duck.  He was wired differently.  I would bet on the young Cam that could barely get dressed after a loss….that dude wouldn’t have quit easily IMO.  But that dude doesn’t exist anymore.

      Finally a power ranking we are top 5 in..

      i got attacked by a housecat once. pretty terrifying.  i was at a friends house and the cat jumped on my lap. it was calm for a minute but then it turned on it's back and bit my hand and sunk it's claws into my arm, all four of them so i grab the thing and pull the thing off my arm, dragging it's claws down my arm. i finally get the crazy thing off and throw it on the ground then it grabs my leg (fortunately i was wearing jeans that day) and the owner, who has just been sitting there in shock watching this happen to this point, grabs the thing and carries it downstairs and throws it outside.  supposedly that cat had never done anything like that before. i had been over there a lot and never had any problems with that cat. but something happened to it and it was never the same. went completely mental. they kept it outside after that. one week they went on vacation for a few days and apparently a stray chow came around and when they got home, the chow had the cat trapped under a car. no telling how long it had been there.  they chased off the chow and the cat ran off and they never saw it again. then that chow came back and hung around for a while and was terrorizing the other animals, including an old horse they had in a pasture. it killed at least one cat that i know of. they called animal control on it and they found it under one of their outbuildings. they figured the only thing they could do is shoot the thing. they shot it with a shot gun and it took one blast and then went running towards the guy who shot it and had to shoot it again.
