Board Games

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! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Though this is satire, we've all had that experience where we played a game (many times, even!) and only found out later that we got the rules massively wrong. Share your experience!

This happened to me during a game of The Thing. The owner of the game failed to remember that you are supposed to draw cards up to a specific amount each round. The game has a secret traitor. Each round you can either help or sabotage a mission. We kept being forced to sabotage at random times because it was all we had in our hand.
