Board Games To Play In Las Vegas?

[Doc Daneeka]

Chess is the game of games. I'm sorry, but it is.

Anyway, we should play Cranium...it's a group game that mixes acting, trivia, pictionary, etc etc into one!

I tend to think that Go is the better strategy game. However, I see your point.

Back in the 70s we played Risk all the time.....does it still exist?

It's been many, many years since I played Magic, the Gathering. I might join in on a game for nostalgia sake, but I don't have my own deck.

I now have eight sets of Munchkin cards, though! (But, three of them I wouldn't use in games with first-time players, as they tend to complicate the rules.)

Yes, and I'm down for Risk as well.

I love Risk, don't I think I better look at the rules again, we use house rules that might be different than the real ones. I'm calling dibs, I get to be black!

Anyone have the boardgame? I think I can get it if not.
We used to get "under the influence" and lose our dovish tendencies.....
Pretty bad for a bunch of hippies

Not only does Risk still exist, but I noticed in Toys R Us the other day that there is Risk - Star Wars: Original Trilogy Edition and Risk - Star Wars: The Clone Wars Edition!

Risk!? Why not play Yahtzee while you're at it.

Real gamers play Europe Engulfed and Eastern Front.

My absolute favorite party game is Encore.
It's a simple game where you get a word card, and the teams battle back and forth trying to think of song lyrics using the word.
I'm particularly good at this game, as I am a 'They Might Be Giants' fan and there are a lot of words in their songs!

I have played Encore several times before, maybe I should say "tried to play". I just blank when I have to think of the words to a song. All I come up with are nursery rhymes.

I guess the clock is ticking, and we should try to come up with some order to this mess of what people are really bringing and where we should be going if we are looking for a good game of whatever.

I am still hopeful that someone will tell us if there will be an area open 24 hours that is TAM reserved, a place with tables and lots of chairs would be better.

Hotels often have lounge areas hidden all over in the lobby. Check with the hotel to see what they could do for free. If there are any public areas suitable for the number expected. They'd probably let you play all night, possibly with cocktail waitress service. It can get pretty slow in the wee hours. Also, it would be nice if people could wander in and out informally.
