Poll: Favorite & Worst Board Game?
Recently we have seen polls on favorite ROPG, least favorite RPG, and even the favorite least popular RPG. But, what about your favorite and worst board games you have played? As for the definition of board game, I would include games such as Connect Four and Battleship because they do use a playing "board" of sorts. I'll start us off.
I have two favorite board games. One is Dungeon by TSR. I still have a second printing in great condition and even have the miniatures for it too. The game is basically a D&D dungeon crawl. The goal is to accumulate a certain amount of gold depending on what character class you play (dwarves and elves were considered classes...don't ask). It's a quick game, easy to learn, and very competitive with a bunch of players. Especially since you could try to steal from other people. :-)
My second favorite is Dragonquest by CGW. If you can actually find this game, buy it! The game was very challenging and NEVER the same game twice. The board was a bunch (forgot the number) empty squares with four corners. A player would start at one of the corners. The object was to get into the dragon's chamber to get treasure and out of the castle in 24 turns. Now, here is where it gets interesting. You moved one square per turn and had to randomly draw a tile to see what kind of room you walked into. It was feasible to get dead ends so you could never even get close to the dragon's lair. Also, each character was very unique and some of the monsters you could encounter in the game were very nasty. I truly love this game.
As for the worst board game, it has to be Pictionary. I had some BAD moments with that game and if you play with people who are very competitive it can get real ugly fast. I actually watched one of my friends nearly throttle her teammate because that person couldn't figure out she was drawing Europe.
So, let's hear about yours!
