What are your favorite board games? Me and my friends love playing board games, but I get the feeling their tired of playing the same things. What do you guys usually play? My favorite board game of all time is HeroQuest. I never get tired of playing it. Also love Catan, Arkham Horror, Betrayal House on the Hill, Spyfall (great at parties)

    Twilight Imperium, really? I only played it once and it was the longest, most boring experience. Each turn just takes an enormous time, almost as long as a Warhammer 40k turn and I played with 5 other players. When you were done with your turn you could go for a really long walk and when you came back you wondered how the hell they just finished 2 turns…

    I really really enjoy boardgames, but not ones that take a weekend to play…

    (this isn’t meant to insult you, I am just seriously wondering if my experience with it is a lot different than yours or if you like boardgames that you play an entire weekend)

      My group can get a game of 4th edition finished in four to five hours. We are seasoned players, though. Twilight Imperium is both a strategically and tactically rich 4X game, which is why it’s one of my favorites.

      That said, I am not opposed to long games. I recently played Fire in the Sky, which took me and my opponent 4 four-hour sessions to complete.

      I look at it as no different than a campaign game such as Gloomhaven. Gloomhaven took my group two years to finish.

        Well with gloomhaven its multiple clearly seperated missions though.
        My limit is at about 4-5h with a game that I’ve never played before. If I played the game before the limit is at about 3h I’d say 🤔
