Looking for board game suggestions.

[GarlicGuy]

So, since this thread, we now own:

One Night: Ultimate Werewolf
Dixit
Love Letter
Coup
Exploding Kittens ( arrives today from Amazon )

And what I want next is Tsuro... a tile laying game where you play as a dragon, and the idea is to not run into other dragons or get forced off the board.... right up my alley, and hoping my kids will like it, too.

There's a board game that's like the opposite of Plague Inc, and I can't remember the name. Requires you to band together with others and discuss how to solve the issues and save the world.

Are you thinking of Pandemic?

If you're not TOO afraid of Victory Points I would highly suggest "Smash Up". It's a great game that I and my friends have really started to enjoy.

You basically have all of these different sets of decks with different themes and strategies (Zombies, Werewolves, Spies, etc.) and you take two of them and shuffle them together. The idea of the game is to conquer these bases with the minions in your deck while fending off enemies. Each base is worth a certain amount of victory points for the first, second, and third place person on the base when the base is finally taken over.

The real joy of the game is mixing and matching different decks to create different playstyles. I'm personally playing a lot of Spies/Aliens at the moment which is essentially a deck designed to infuriate opponents. Spies are good at making opponents discard minions while Aliens are good at throwing minions back into the enemy hand (so you can discard them!) and they also get Victory Points innately with certain minions.

There's a link to a TableTop video with Smash Up. I would at least see if it might interest you, the Victory Point system is less of a "tally it up at the end" system and more of a way to indicate when a game is over.

Great for games.

Betrayal at House on the Hill is a blast and I feel it would fit all of your criteria.

Or Sentinels of the Multiverse. It has a few expansions and is a lot of fun as a group game. So you can expand it easily and the game play is super easy.

Well now, I am still open to suggestions.... because my daughters seem to be "hooked" on these card games or TableTop games.... We now have:


One Night: Ultimate Werewolf
Dixit
Love Letter
Coup
Exploding Kittens
Tsuro
King of Tokyo - given to us
Lost Cities - the card game version
Dice Town
Red Dragon Inn

So, that gives you an idea of what we like..... looking for Christmas presents for my daughters.

Sushi Go should be a perfect fit.
Smash Up is also great fun. Kinda like Hearthstone but for four people.

2 games that I would recommend would be 'Colt Express' ( Nice 3d game of an old west train heist with a fun movement mechanic and just won the 'Spiel De Jahres.' That's one of the highest European board game honors.

Another would be 'Rampage' or the newer renamed copies of 'Terror in Meepletown' (They had to rename it for copyright reasons.) A fun 3d dexterity based game where you build a city and wreck it with your monsters. This one is usually over $40 but can sometimes be found on sale for $40 on Amazon or Miniature Market. Enjoy!

This was my shit back in the day.
