Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Bonus challenge: figure out how old this image is by finding the newest game on the shelf.

Looks like Raiders of the north sea 2015

I wasn't sure how old Mysterium is but looking it up it's also 2015

Whoa! I didn't Steam was also a board game. Is it played basically the same as Go For Broke, but you're just buying games?

You're expecting a train game, instead you get a credit card vampire

Hmm? Haven't played either of those games, but their BGG descriptions look very very different.

How many of those boxes, excuse me assets, are complete and don't have any missing or broken pieces?

Dunno, I'd have to remove the shrink wrap to actually check, and who does that?

Implying more than a few have actually been played.
