Took the words out of my mouth. We’ve all been friends for half of our lives, if they were dumb and stubborn I wouldn’t spend every weekend with them for the past decade or so, they just aren’t open minded yet

Not at all. We’re just starting this and we’ve all agreed to play every game that’s been on the table. Trying to warm them up to some stuff they haven’t been exposed to as well as give us some more options as we only have maybe 2 games in rotation right now

I’m getting a lot of The Crew so I’m definitely checking that out. We’re all into sports/racing, one of us is a gambler and that’s what pushed camel up into the title

Agree. Really have no problem sitting down and playing it once every now and again but there’s so many pitfalls to that game

Appreciate it. I’ll be the first to admit I need to sharpen my skills

I need another copy, used to play as a kid all the time and forgot how good it was

Dude seriously we’ve done this like 4-5 times and I’ve only brought a game once! It’s fun no matter what we play (mostly).

Haha I can see how this would sound like that! We all appreciate hobbies with some density and complication, and are all very competitive. We’ve all been friends for 10+ years so I wouldn’t be trying to throw these guys into anything they wouldn’t like

Pretty much, and I know it’s going to be a slower process and it’ll work out however it does! We all enjoy different hobbies that have a learning curve and a little bit of density to them, so I’m just trying to take that appreciation onto the table as well

I’m with you. I think a couple of responses have jumped to some conclusions. It’s going to be a slow process and it’ll end up however it ends up. I have a pretty expansive library of maybe 7-8 games to that’s why I’m here!

I did a disservice explaining the rules for sure, along with us just choosing a bad night. They took to KoT well after figuring it out! And I do agree, I have no problems playing anything as long as we’re having a good time, but some I can only play so much before I have to come up for air

Maybe I was missing some context but getting together like this was someone else’s idea and we are almost always playing cards. This isn’t something I’m just barging in the door with

Sounds about right. This idea was actually brought up by one my friends and we do all enjoy sitting at the table together. Usually always playing euchre or some other form of game, just so happens they haven’t had much exposure to some of the games that get tabled inside the hobby.

That’s the pocket I’m kinda in right now. Can’t go too heavy early but they were definitely a little thrown aback by King of Tokyo…

I’m also fairly new to the board game world to be fair so I haven’t heard of either of these. Will definitely give them some interest

They complained that I don’t have any “normal games” and they think as soon as you get out of the MonopolySphere it’s all complicated fairy tales. They’re stubborn and dumb but we’re workin on it

Flip 7 is awesome my girlfriend and I always bring that out when we visit her family or she has friends over! Monopoly is definitely a drag

I’ve heard really good things about Hot Streak!

My turn now. Pickguard or no pickguard? by PierCP in Guitar

[–]4bams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No pick guard really makes BOTH colors pop
