Replying to join this thread I just discovered (and so I can follow). I have over 500 board games, and at one point probably had close to 2,000. Golf and board games are easily my two biggest (in terms of time and $ spent) hobbies. It has been a family affair for a long time - both of my sons are also still big table top gamers and are in their 20s. I even owned a game publishing company for a few years and was the original publisher of Incan Gold.

My favorite family style games these days are Wingspan, Viticulture, 7 Wonders, Fantastic Factories, and Kingdomino. I also play a lot of strategic war games, with Advanced Squad Leader being my favorite.

Same here. They hold up very well. I was a play tester for Axis & Allies D-Day, a lighter version that you can play in about 2 hours.

I used to play with a number of people.   My mother got so frustrated because she couldn't win that I caught her cheating.   Still, great game.

Been playing a bunch of Gloomhaven over the last 4-6 months.  I have the digital version of it though, I think the physical version would be a minor nightmare to play with all the stuff to keep track of.  Great game regardless.

Catan is probably my favorite. I used to play it every night with my godsister and her boyfriend. I wasn’t great at it but I loved to play it.

The in-person is a lot of fun, but it is definitely some accounting.  We switched to playing on Roll20 during Covid, and still do.  

I have come to realize I enjoy the socializing aspect of board games more than the actual games a lot of the time.  But Gloomhaven is still fun even online.

Great games! My wife and I played through Pandemic Legacy: Season 1 during the start of COVID pandemic.

New-ish social word games that I recommend (both cooperative): So Clover! and Just One.

My whole family likes Mille Bourne. We've done family tournaments.

I've always enjoyed Euchre too. My company has an annual Euchre tournament. 

My kids like Monopoly. I like it too, but my wife makes me let the kids win.  ... BTW - How old do your kids have to be before you no longer have to let them win at Monopoly? Cuz, I keep suggesting to my wife that I should be allowed to smoke them by now. 

Our family also plays Blokus Trigon a lot, a bunch of Spy Alley and a bit of Azul.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I’ve never really let my kids win at anything deliberately. I mostly just played games a little bit more casually just to try to match their ability to strategize, but if they won it wasn’t because I threw the game or anything.

I don’t feel like my kids need to or should win all the time. That’s not how life works, and the sooner they learn that, the better off they will be.

    • Depends in part on what lie the greens crew left me. If it's first cut of rough or fairway and clear shot to cup, it's an 8i chip and run. If it's shaggy, or I have to go over ridge or bunker, it's a cut shot with a 58* LW.
    • Throw a stick down in almost every range session.
    • Day 358: Played 18. Incredible psycho scorecard but finished +5. Also completed the birdie challenge. And the no 6s challenge, for that matter. Was not my best ball striking or driving round, but was able to hit enough good shots to make a few birdies and scrape it around.
    • Birdied 10 and 17 today to complete the (away) challenge! Both of the birdies were tap in birdies on par 5s (hit the green in 2 and was in the fringe pin high in 2), but I was a little nervous over both putts. I wasn't taking a gimme to finish the challenge, dammit.  Also, 17 was a hole I missed last year, so it was one I was a little worried about. Now I guess I need to make an eagle or two or get to -19 or lower.
    • Ok, so my alignment got messed up. I was aiming way right. Caught myself on a short par 3. I hit a good full 52, and the ball went way right.  Too many shots still going drawing too much for what I like to see.  Putting went to crap for some reason. I went back to making a putting stroke. I think mostly for tempo. Short game was meh, but worked on it a bit afterwards. Got it back. Too long of a backswing.  Just a mix of good, bad, and ugly.  Back to the range tomorrow for some work.
