Is anyone here into board/card games that aren't specifically war related? Anyone enjoy Wil Wheaton's Tabletop on you tube?  :)
I want my mother fucking points!

We play Last Night On Earth with friends once a month or so. And we're looking at the Spartacus board game which has received great reviews (but holding out for the Firefly game from the same developers).

I still want them to get to play Arkham Horror, though. <_<

I need Toni to come back so I can pester people to play with. Since Seedy wont come here.

Yep. Don't get the chance to play many games myself though.

My group often plays non-war games (in fact pure war games are frowned upon).
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

My group also plays non-wargames almost exclusively although luckily they prefer the heavier ones. Like Republic of Rome or High Frontier. Those were my influence.  :menace:

Add more than 3 or 4 people and then it quickly becomes a drag though.

Of course they are.  You're in Europe.

We rarely play Eurogames.

Recently played games I like:

Sentinels of the Multiverse: Excellent co-op Superhero card game, a little tough to find but the latest printing of the enhanced edition should be hitting stores soon.

Core Worlds with expansion: Space expansion deck building game.  The base game is fun but without much variety after a few plays.  The expansion adds a lot.

Terra Mystica: Euroy Civ type game with a bunch of different races to play.

Innovation with expansions: A crazy back and forth civ card game where anything can happen that just gets crazier with the expansions.  The theme is paper thin but the gameplay isn't.

Habbaku

Seven Wonders is a lot of fun.  I played that 4 times this past weekend.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

:yes:

I've played Republic of Rome too. Also enjoyed Courtesans of Versailles a lot.

I am considering Seven Wonders to play with my kids. It seems a lot of fun, and they never played card games, so it would be a changeof pace.
I've read Dominion is very good, too.
