Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game!

Rules: -Play nicely with others here.

-Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.

-Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Recently, my gaming group and I have gone crazy about Dune Imperium Uprising. We've been doing 10+ games of it a week for the last few weeks. Anybody else ever had a similar story to share? Did you get tired of the game eventually, or even sick of it?

I don't know if this really fits for this community, but my friend group has been way into Mahjong recently. I decided to learn the basics on a whim and recently got a physical set of tiles even though I doubted anyone would really want to play. Well I decided to bring it to a newyears party to have just in case. We started about 1am, I passed out around 6am and when I woke up people were STILL (not went to bed and came back) playing at noon. They can be kinda picky about board games, but I guess it was close enough to something like poker for them to get hooked.

Yes, the tactile feel of MJ can be really fun. Makes it much more addictive than similar card games
