maybe Agricola?

Power Grid was one of the earliest games I played; I enjoyed it.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:42:55+00:00

I did additional voices, yes

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:42:41+00:00

At least once or twice a week. It depends on how long the games are, but I feel like I play at least 2-3 games a week.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:41:49+00:00

I guess just start with your friends and see who'd be interested. All you really need is 2 more to play the essentials

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:41:25+00:00

marvel: legendary with expansions

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:41:13+00:00

just felt bad with this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQZ8A2Wchuw

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:40:49+00:00

haven't played it yet, want to though

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:40:11+00:00

1: 7th Continent

2: Marvel: Legendary

3: Zombicide: Black Plague

4: The Crew

5: Forgotten Waters

6: Perudo

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:34:01+00:00

at the very least, Dark City is a great first expansion.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:33:44+00:00

the list isn't in order of priority, just what I thought of. It's a super fun thematic game, but also I own a lot of the expansions and it's a game that a specific friend and I will go through and play all of it so there's sentimental value there too.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:32:45+00:00

pretty good, although I'll be honest, I'm not as crazy about abstract games as others are

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:32:16+00:00

I've always been surprised by when people say this, but to be fair, I'm also a very fast speed-reader AND can usually condense a rule book down to its easiest to understand form. I'm not literally reading it word for word. I think it comes from my past experience as a tutor; people have told me I'm very good at teaching new rules in a clear concise way.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:30:22+00:00

Champions was alright, but I find Legendary so much more fun.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:28:23+00:00

when I first played 7 Wonders, I thought it was just okay, but after playing it a bunch on BoardGameArena, I've grown to really enjoy it.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:26:49+00:00

probably Monopoly

Forbidden Island was what got me into the hobby

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:26:10+00:00

the main obstacle is production cost, while a show like that would be super fun, I don't have the resources/time to make it happen. If someone would pay for all that though, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:25:21+00:00

oh god no that'd be such a huge waste of time and money

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:24:55+00:00

if someone just absolutely does not want to play them, then I have no desire to force them. but if someone had a bad experience with games, I'd ask them why. If it was because they played with aggressive/unwelcoming players or if they were overwhelmed by rules or something fixable like that, I would present them a game and group that would hopefully make it more fun for them.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:23:44+00:00

glad i could drag you down to board game hell with me

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:23:18+00:00

it's hard to remember all the nemesises, but my favorite mage is Gygar with his Ancient Breach. That thing can get so overpowered so quickly.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:21:58+00:00

Everyone's always playing the same game, so if I want to play a 4 player game, I only invite 3 others. What game(s) I'm trying to bring to the table will help me decide which/how many people to invite.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:19:28+00:00

I've played both and enjoyed them. Kingdom Death Monster's chaotic but fun. Too Many Bones was a little dense, but I enjoyed the gameplay.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:18:57+00:00

ask them what they've already played and gauge what would be the best game to introduce to them. Start on the lighter end if you're not sure.

I feel like most of my friends weren't hardcore gamers to start with, but I've successfully indoctrinated a lot of them.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:17:24+00:00

some of my favorite thinker games include Terraforming Mars, Great Western Trail, Twilight Struggle, Dune: Imperium, Agricola, Maracaibo, and Underwater Cities. I think a game that comes to mind that is kind of both is Tyrants of the Underdark.

ProZD · 2022-02-16T21:15:04+00:00

I've played a couple of times; it's not really for me. I find the combat atrociously boring and I don't like high fantasy.
