Ludo is my favorite board game. Funily enough in Albania we call it "Burrec mos u zemro" which means "little man don't worry".

Re: My favourite board game

Arab mathematics and the algebra understanding is a biggie. Backgammon we used to play OFTEN! I now wonder why. I actually miss it now that you mentioned it.
I have no problem giving "Ludo" a try as well.
Current fav: Playing a card game called "31" for money. (Its $3.00 American per game.) NOT a lot of money but when 7 play, you can win $21.00 American each game and play up to 6 games per session typically. Ya we toss in the "shots" when one screws up enough. Mandatory shots!!!

Re: My favourite board game

That "Catan" game looks similar to an OLD PC game called Civilization some years back. Looks like fun. Just have to figure out how to weave alcohol into the fabric of the game! Shots for each advancement? Chug a beer when the animals double on the farms?
:-)
JUST KIDDING on the alcohol.
Well at least a little........

Odd thing as I became older, I lost my strategy playing chess and seems like I became WORSE with age!!!
Likely, the folks I played with, all became better players as we got older.......with the exception of me. We used to play chess every lunch break and study hall years ago. Now, they all kick my butt in Chess but it is likely one of the smarter "thinking" games, which is why I fail I guess. I miss my smarts. If any of you folks, happens to see them laying around on the battlefield, I would be so pleased if you would PM me and let me know where they arel

Re: My favourite board game

This was a favorite back in the day:

Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of Earth, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. ... Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game.

Re: My favourite board game

For board games... we used to play Scrabble a lot. Monopoly was just too long and irritating. I'm more into the collectible strategy card and table top rpg games.

My dad, brother, and uncles play Risk. Not just regular Risk, but they have a bunch of different versions. They have this one that they have to keep the board up for weeks just to finish.

Re: My favourite board game

Yup, Risk for me.

Spent many an evening in the 90's with some mates playing this, usually world domination and it went on for hours.
Really draws you in with the strategy side of things and then paranoia sets in when you are trying to protect your borders.

Just bought a classic version from the 80's, mint and sealed similar to the one we played back in the day.
I can't be doing with those fancy plastic game pieces of the later versions.
Been meaning to teach it to my eldest daughter and her boyfriend, see how they cope with my megalomaniac tendencies smile
