Title: Anyone up for a board game night?
Post by: Thorin on August 25, 2006, 03:24:23 PM
Talking about Settlers of Catan and Axis & Allies makes me want to play them.  I'm also interested in playing a game called Descent (sorta like a D&D board game), and playing a tactical mecha game called BattleTech.  Is anyone interested in any of these?  If so, when would be a good night?

Heroscape has its own sub-forum, I think it gets enough advertising around here :)

Like Ust said, Heroscape is already well-covered.  Also, I don't want to get into it because I'll get addicted like *that*.  And I can't afford any more addictions at this time.

No one really needs to afford anything to play Heroscape, i've been collecting all the stuff myself and have enough for like 12 ppl to play at once  :)

In fact i've been buying everyones master sets from them  :D

Anyways, it was a casual playing of risk 2025 which got me hooked back into board games about two years ago. I then purchased the expensive CivIV game which was alright to play. This did lead me into Heroscape which has obviously taken over.

Long story short, i wouldn?t mind jumping into a casual night of play, however im afraid anything on a regular schedule is just not doable for me.

Heroscape will continue to be my main focus when i have the time to play.

And that's the difference between being in school versus having a full-time job and a wife...  I think most of us suffer from the same problem, though.  We can't dedicate a whole night every week to getting together for board games.  Which ties back into the original thread that started this whole discussion, wherein we discussed why they would bother putting board games into Xbox Live.

I'd be up for a game, once in a blue moon.
