JK chameleon Jan 2021 10:42pm, 30 Jan 2021 13,416 posts	0 JK chameleon Monopoly really has to be the worst game ever made. And yet it's the one people gravitate towards. Such a shame that people are missing out on genuinely fun, balanced, (and timed) games!
Dooogs Jan 2021 10:53pm, 30 Jan 2021 6,466 posts	0 Dooogs Monopoly and Risk are two good examples of games that are waaaaay too slow as trad board games, but work much better on a computer, with all the mechanics sped up...

Perfect Organism Feb 2021 3:35pm, 10 Feb 2021 728 posts	0 Perfect Organism Myself and a few friends have been "meeting" online most Wednesdays to play board game adaptations which are available on Steam. We've mainly been playing Wingspan, Scythe, and most recently, Root. They're all quite reasonably priced and are great adaptations of the board games. It also means you can get some solo games in against decent AI.
Perfect Organism Feb 2021 3:50pm, 10 Feb 2021 729 posts	0 Perfect Organism Also, the "Humble Bundle" website currently has a good deal on digital board games. I think you Ticket to Ride and all the expansions, Pandemic, Lord of the Rings Card Game, Blood Rage, and Terraforming Mars for about £7. humblebundle.com

larkim May 2021 5:02pm, 4 May 2021 14,190 posts	0 larkim Formula One yesterday preceded by Munchkin for a wet bank holiday Monday. We keep trying Munchkin and end up frustrated. The rules are written in a really friendly, fun way, but I'm always left with the feeling that we're missing "something" key about the terms used which means we keep coming up with scenarios that we'd not thought through. Perhaps we're just not sufficiently experienced. Saw this on the BBC; I've known this game as Mancala, and played it with both a two row setup and a four row setup. Similar to dominoes or backgammon, the sort of game you can sit outside a coffee and play without stress and while the time away whilst chatting too. bbc.co.uk
