Board games

Didn't go back to the beginning... So I'll mention it, possibly again...

 

Odin's Ravens is a really good two person game with super simple rules.

Took me a bit to find this thread. Didn’t realize it was as old as it was. Here’s a new one. I ordered it because, well, lol, I just couldn’t not.

Thanks for resurrecting! I love board games but my youngest is too young, and it’s hard getting friends coordinated and kids cooperative!

 

It’s an older game but

 

Bang! is a spaghetti western card based rpg. It’s quick and easy to learn.

I ordered two. It's release isn't for a couple of weeks yet, but I think it will be a popular seller! Of course, the pre-orders will probably give them an indication for production. I'm hoping it's a fun game ... but I think it has collector's item written all over it. Heh. But the description had me laughing, so, we'll see.

This caused me to wonder if such a game would go over well in Boston, which likewise has its mass-transit fans. Well, Google brought me to this, "The Boston Game," dating back around 45+ years ago. The board incorporates MBTA's "T" symbol, so presumably they went to the trouble of paying some kind of royalties - or if not, when you purchase it you'll own a bit of piracy, yarrr.
