classic board games

['bout now]

+1 for Articulate, especially when a little p*ssed.

They are slightly different as far as I know. I played liar's dice in California where you play with 6 di. Perudo has only 5 and some additional rules which I tend to ignore. It was supposed to be a game played by the Inca's. Either way great fun especially if you like bullshi**ing.

Modern art is good. However unless they have changed the game since we bought it some years ago, it's for 3-5 players. On Amazon I'm sure I read that it was for a minimum of two players.

Ha! Liars Dice.

Used to play this with girls in a place called 'Maggies' in Beijing. Whatever the dice you had to buy the hookers a drink.

Liars.

Another shout for Articulate, it's brilliant after a few beers!

Cranium also fun.

Oh, and Pass the bomb (again, if p!ssed)

I can't get any of my friends to play Risk with me anymore, so if anyone ever has a couple of days of their life they'd like to lose to waging war on Kamchatka, do let me know.

Online Risk

If I can find a multiplayer version I'll take you on :)

[Narnia]

I have a CD version of Risk where you can play on your own. It's downloadable and not expensive. I think you can try it for free for an hour.

Conquer Club

This might be fun if you are interested in a game. It appears to be free.

I'll play Risk with you, Rosie!

Unless you're one of those sad-acts who digs themselves in Australasia or South America and just sits there...

[Narnia]

I've always found Australasia a good place to consolidate!

[Narnia]

If you fancy a risky holiday, this is it.

[RosieH]

It takes place in Bethlehem???

And Moos my dear, you're on. (I have been known to consolidate in Australasia too though...)

[Narnia]

Download for free?

This seems to be the same one I paid for now going free.

[Keef]

Have you all been coached by

[RosieH]

Indeed Keef, I take my lessons in war where I can get them: if not The Prince, then Izzard will do.

[Moos]

Narnia, Rosie - it's called Risk, not Hoard.

I'm not saying I'd turn down Australasia on a plate. I'm just saying it's no fun if someone just plonks a million pieces there and sits brooding over them like a constipated dragon.

[RosieH]

Ooh no, I don't do that. I like to think of myself as bold.

But I do like a base I can still defend when my bold moves leave me decimated.

[Moos]

Now you're talking, Strategos H!

Page 2 and NO mention of Monopoly..PAH..*mutters* only in Guardian reading SE22 :X

[RosieH]

Guardian reading? GUARDIAN READING???

I'm hellbent on world domination Quids - I think that pisses all over your poxy boutique hotels (where they probably serve pea shoots and provide Jo Malone toiletries). I'm sending the boys in from Kamchatka to kick your ass.

I give two thumbs up for Liar's Dice! You can get a nice set for quite cheaply, and it doesn't have to last too long. Plus you can play drinking versions!

I'd say that this and the triple threat of Articulate, Cranium and Pictionary make for a formidable games collection.
