This week at my weekly game night, we played Champions of Midgard. You've probably seen some of my previous posts about this game. This is one of my game group's current favorites. This spawned a discussion about what our group's other favorite games are. We also talked about some games that we'd like to get back to the table. Between all of us, I estimate that our group probably owns about 75 to 100 different games. Many may not be ones that we play at a weekly game night as they may be social, family or classic games. Our group tends to reserve this weekly game night for the meatier games. Games which play 4-6 players and usually take 2-3 hours to complete. In a previous two-part series, I went into more depth about Games that Repeatedly Get to the Table (Part 1 & Part 2). You can check those previous posts to get further explanations about some of our groups most popular games. With those thoughts to set the stage, let me give you the rundown of some of King's-GameNight favorite games. If you'd like to investigate further, I have also included a link to the Board Game Geek page for each. Favorite games from King's-GameNight:
Games we'd like to get back to the table: Sometimes we enjoy a game, but just don't seem to get it back out often enough. Many times we're caught up playing newly acquired games or the player count doesn't facilitate playing very often. Other times, the game weight might seem to easy or not as strategic as we're craving. Below are games that we're anxious to play again.
Other games to try in the group: I want to also mention some games members in our group own which we haven't played in the the weekly game night. We discussed that these might be options we want to try sometime. Collectively we own these games, have played them in other circles and think highly of them. For whatever reason, we just haven't decided to play on a game night. In general, these seem to be games that are a little shorter in length and lighter in weight, which is probably why they haven't gotten to the table at the weekly game night. I think our group may choose a night to play two or three of these games back-to-back rather than one of the longer games we typically play. All of the games highlighted in this post are terrific games. They came to mind because we continue playing them during the weekly game night, would like to bring back to play, or want to introduce to the group. As with many things, every group dynamic is different. Its typical to play games with several different types of groups and gatherings. Sometimes with family and friends. Other times in a dedicated gaming group, like my weekly game night. No matter what the preference is for difficulty or length of game or player count, etc... there are tons of games that will fit the bill. As I continue to let you know my thoughts on games and game night, I am curious of your thoughts. Do you have a group that plays board games frequently? Are you playing completely different types of games? Leave a comment to add your input. Also, don't forget to participate in my brief survey from my last post. SURVEY LINK I hope to report on results of the survey in an upcoming post.
Game on!
