Re: Board Games

Recent ones that I've played would be Ludo and a Snakes and Ladders clone. It's rare for me to play anything multiplayer these days.

Re: Board Games

Some favourites in our family include:

Carrom (We actually have scheduled tournaments on special occasions like Eid, etc.)
Haven’t played Snakes and Ladders or Ludo for eons but definitely enjoy it when we do. Cousins are notorious for cheating big time in Ludo
Monopoly is a long-time favourite. Have multiple versions.

In the recent past we were introduced by mad scientist to “Arabian Nights” and totally fell in love with it. I don’t know if it can be called a “role play” kind of game but it’s totally fun and we’ve been known to play it into the wee hours of the morning…

Arabian Nights

Shut Up & Sit Down | Review: Tales of the Arabian Nights

In Tales of the Arabian Nights, you are the hero or heroine in a story of adventure and wonder just like those told by Scheherazade to her spellbound sultan! You will travel the land seeking your own destiny and fortune. You will learn stories and gain wisdom to share with others. Will you be the first to fulfill your destiny? The next Tale is yours to tell! There is, of course, a winner in Tales of the Arabian Nights, but the point of the game is less to see who wins and more to enjoy the unfolding and telling of a great story!

In this new edition of the groundbreaking storytelling game, you enter the lands of the Arabian Nights alongside Sindbad, Ali Baba, and the other legendary heroes of the tales. Travel the world encountering imprisoned princesses, powerful 'efreets, evil viziers, and such marvels as the Magnetic Mountain and the fabled Elephant’s Graveyard.

Choose your actions carefully and the skills you possess will reward you: become beloved, wealthy, mighty - even become sultan of a great land. Choose foolishly, however, and become a beggar, or be cursed with a beast’s form or become insane from terror! YOU will bring to life the stories of the inestimable Book of Tales in this vastly replayable board game with over 2002 tales that will challenge, amuse, astound and spellbind you for years to come.

mad scientist also introduced us to The Resistance, which we have equally enjoyed.

The Resistance

indieboardsandcards - The Resistance

The Resistance is a very intense social deduction game for 5-10 players. While it shares similiarities with games like Werewolf, Mafia and even Battlestar Galactica it has many very unique features such as a quick 30 minute play time, no moderator required and no player elimination.

Set in the near future, The Resistance pits a small group of resistance fighters against a powerful and corrupt government. The resistance has launched a series of bold and daring missions to bring the governement to its knees. Unfortunately spies have infiltrated the resistance ranks, ready to sabotage the carefully crafted plans. Even a single spy can take down a resistance mission team, choose your teams carefully or forever lose your chance for freedom.

Last year we started watching Cumberbatch as Sherlock with our daughter and she really got into the whole solving mysterious crimes theme. On a visit to our local game/comic shop she found a new game called “Scotland Yard”. Haven’t had time to open it up and play yet but hopefully in the next few weeks we will and I’ll give you a review.

Scotland Yard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_Yard_(board_game)

In Scotland Yard, one of the players takes on the role of Mr. X. His job is to move from point to point around the map of London taking taxis, buses or subways. The detectives – that is, the remaining players acting in concert – move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as Mr. X. But while the criminal’s mode of transportation is nearly always known, his exact location is only known intermittently throughout the game.

What is solah saar about?

Re: Board Games

What is solah saar about?

Solah saar or solah goti is a chess like board game. It is played between two players. Board looks like one square attached with two traingles on the sides along which players sit. Several bisecting lines are drawn and saar or gotis (kankad not kanche) are placed on nodes except on the line opposite to players which devides the square into two halves. So each player has sixteen saar. Each saar can move on lines and can kill rival's saar if the next node in the line is empty and occupies the empty one. The saar killed is removed from board. Saar can move in all direction but along the line and moves one step at a time. One by one players get the chance to move her saar. The player who kills all saars of rival is declared winner. In Bundelkhand due to plenty of rocks we have thick stone tiles called chhatti on floor of varandah and chabootrah. Generally this board is permanently carved on chhatti to avoid drawing with brick piece.

Sounds interesting.....

Re: Board Games

Let me see about my some of my collection of board games… more to follow later.

#1](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1) .
Horus Heresy

*Taking the side of traitor or loyalist, two players control either fearless Space Marine legions or deviant Chaos Space Marines, mighty Titans, Imperial Armies both loyal and traitorous, and a fearsome array of other units, including the Emperor and Horus themselves.

An innovative order and initiative system forces each side to carefully consider the commands they issue to their troops. A dramatic, card-driven combat system incorporates escalating damage, gives players the opportunity to allocate resources between attack and defense, and brings to bear the unique special powers of each unit type, from fortification-destroying Titans to the perverse daemons of Chaos.*

#2](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2)
Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game provides a unique gaming experience. Unlike most games where players win individually, Battlestar Galactica is a cooperative game, with the added complication that one or more of the players is a secret Cylon traitor—your entire side will win or lose, and you might not even be certain who is on your side until the game ends!
