Your favorite Tabletop game of all time?

Wiz-war

Hands down this is my favorite game. Plenty of strategy and lots of action as well. It has the TCG aspect where you are drawing from a deck for your spells, the wargame aspect where you have a mini and can try to kill the other players and the strategy to know when to grab a treasure chest and run or stand your ground and fight. With 4 people it is fun I would assume that in a 2 player game it would lose some of the frantic feel of spells flying everywhere.

I bought it on a whim one day and could not be happier with that choice.

Probably Diplomacy. Back in high school we played every week, had a full group of 7 players and it was always new. The problem is that Diplomacy takes a very special group of people to play and if you don’t have them, it goes from being one of the best games to one of the worst. Unfortunately, since graduation I’ve only gotten to play it a couple times because most of my local friends are the type that will never talk to you again after playing Diplomacy with them.

Lately though I’ve become a big fan of Chaos in the Old World and it seems to be a hit with my friends. It’s a 4 player (5 with expansion) game in which you play as each of the Warhammer Chaos (evil) gods. The ultimate goal is to corrupt and dominate the world of humans before your fellow gods do the same. What makes it really interesting is each god has its own play style and mode of winning.

I really need to pick up another copy of Chaos in the Old World. That game's better than I gave it credit for when I gave it away.

Kinda sad they changed the box art. I really liked the old brown art, while the new OMG NURGLE one is maybe a bit over the top.

As much as I love Cosmic Encounter, I have to go with

DIVINE RIGHT as my absolute favorite.

Twilight Struggle & War of the Ring are in the running. Though i love miniatures, especially spaceships but there isn't one system that i think of as best. I have had the most fun playing Blood Bowl in leagues.

Blood Bowl wins.

I wondered if Divine Right would pop up here. I played the crap out of that game in college.

Bridge. Especially duplicate with a good partner, although I haven't played in too long.

[Remus West]

Titan.

This is a great thread. I don't have all time favorite since I play games based on mood and friend participation but I've played the hell out of Descent for several years in the past.

Dunno, that thing sells for $200+. That buys a lot of awesome.

ARRRRRGH my mom stealth-sold our copy for a couple of dollars a few years back


i wonder if she did the same thing with my "Real Ghostbusters" game... at least i still have HeroQuest.

and to answer the topic, all-time favorite would be Go. chess (or some variant) would likely be second.

for modern games, i realllly like RoboRally.
