Jonelle Eligio: Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate all of your help. I'll definitely look into those games.KenB, I would man, but I'm done with the MMORPG scene. I was one of the top 200 Mages in the world on World of Warcraft.
Davina Shindler: There are a lot of great games out there, and even some really good Dungeon Crawlers.Descent: Journeys in the Dark is probably the game that is the most like D&D. The only problem is that it's such a good game you're probably going to want to buy a lot of the expansions, and there are a lot of expansions. It's a Fantasy Adventure game of going into dungeons and fighting monsters. The game is run by the Overlord who builds a dungeon and populates it with monsters, the Heroes have to fight all the monsters, find the treasure and defeat some sort of Boss to! successfully complete the dungeon. It gets in the battles of an RPG Tabletop Game without having the other rules, which you can choose to see as either a positive or a negative. The initial game comes with several scenarios that you can run, and the pieces that make up the dungeon are like puzzles pieces and can be snapped together in lots of different ways to make lots of different maps so there's a lot of replay value. The expansions add more monsters and more stories to play. Dungeoneer: This is another Dungeon Crawler type game, very quick to play and quite fun. It comes as packs of cards and each pack is a seperate complete game. You can also combine all the decks together to make an epic game. The main problem with this is that the game itself as explained in the rules is kind of impossible to play, but they came up with "Tournament Rules" that are much easier to understand and make the game playable. It's a very fun game. Each player has a number of Quests they have! to complete, and there's one World Quest that everyone is com! peting to complete. The players also get to send monsters against the other players in the game, so all players get to play both the Good Guys and the Bad Guys in the same game. I suddenly feel like playing this more often. I forgot how much I liked this game.Dominion: Dominion isn't a Dungeon Crawler, but it is a great game with a tighter set of rules than D&D. Dominion is kind of like a Collectible Card Game, but all the players are building the deck that they're playing with as they play the game. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's great. The game comes with 25 little decks of cards(500 cards total) and in each game you use 10 different decks, so there's a huge amount of variety just from the original set. There are also a couple of expansions that add even more cards to the mix. And while we're mentioning games that are a bit complicated, but really fun: Puerto Rico and Mission: Red Planet. These are both "Worker Placement" and "Player Roles" games, but otherwise co! uldn't be any more different. They're also two of my favorites. In "Puerto Rico" you're trying to grow, store and sell crops, you do this using different Roles each turn which allow each player to do the same action, and the player who chooses the role to have an advantage(like the cost to build is 1 less)."Mission: Red Planet" is about colonizing Mars in 1886. Players choose different roles each turn, but each role is numbered and the players go in numerical order, so who goes first each turn is usually different. The Roles let you do the task associated to it, usually involving putting some people on a rocket and then doing something else, like blowing up a rocket or shooting someone on the surface of Mars. It's an extremely fun game, but the first game you'll be totally confused, it seems to take about half a game to "get" how to play. The second game makes WAY MORE sense.There are a lot of great games out there too. Check the links below to learn more about each of the ! games I mentioned they are links to Board Game Geek a database that has! a huge amount of information about boardgames. And there are tons of games. If you join BGG and ask for game suggestions in the forums you'll get a much wider selection than I can give you. Well, I hope this has been helpful. Good Luck and Happy Gaming....Show more
Lou Ravelo: theres a borard game called scategories. its in a red box, is so fun. it my favorite board game
Elissa Curlin: Well, speaking to board games, the game that I believe combines strategy, fun, skill, and intellect the best is a board game named Shogun. It's a bit old but you won't regret it. It is a pre-meiji era japan where five players take on the role of a Shogun and try to take over this mythical realm. Many rules keep this game ageless and enjoyable. When it comes down to a character driven table top game that has many set rules, but is a great deal of fun, is Malifaux. It is set in a Steam Punk Victorian Era where Arcanists (Wizards of Great Power), the Neverborn (Daemons), the Guild (! all powerful reigning government), the Resurrectionists (Necromancers), and Outkasts (everything else). With 3 main characters behind every faction it allows for many styles of play behind every force, add that to the many vile beasties and people and you can have a different game every time. The games are played for different objectives and a massacre mentality. On a 3'x3' table, real line of sight and set characteristics and abilities, this game is great for any gamer no matter where they are in their gaming career. Cards are used instead of dice and the game is super straight forward. YOU WILL NOT REGRET PLAYING IT. It will cost a little under $100 per player it is a pretty easy game to get into. Very new but an ever growing fan base....Show more
