Odendo and Yet Another Gaming-Related Post

[odendo]

I was recently talking to someone about what I did in my spare time, and the subject of gaming came up. I
mentioned boardgaming, and the first thing that's said is, "You mean, like Monopoly/Clue/Parcheesi/etc?"
Oh, if only they knew!

And because of that, I was inspired to make this post as a means to enlighten those
who don't know of what's really

I haven't played... any of those! Except one. I played Settlers! I even own it!

But ya, some of those look pretty interesting. I'm a fan of well made non-standard board games. That descent one looks /really/ interesting. I wanna play it some time, now.

I <3 Catan quite a bit. I cant' wait to get home so I can play 'Cities and Knights'.

Played all of those, and I like Catan the least. It does remind me of really good peanut butter cookies though. Mm mmm mmm...

I can understand- The dice were definitely not on either of our sides when we played. :/ If you can, tell Ralan to mail me some cookies!

[stripey_d]

Huh? Those were my cookies!

[odendo]

Oh yeah, that's right! Me brain no work rite, sry :/

I've got a game called "Hero Quest" on top of my bedroom cupboard, but it hasn't -ever- been properly played and now it has some broken pieces. It seems similar to descent, in a way, only possibly older, and with highly stereotyped/archetypal characters (muscleclad loicloth barbarian!).

I've been meaning to play that myself, but it's out of print and way too expensive to buy at the moment. I've heard Descent is similar to it, except with a bit more depth.
