Forum Overview :: Overboard!

I'm designating this the boardgaming forum by Mischief Maker 02/03/2025, 4:34pm PST I've always disliked Parker Brothers-style board games, given my long hatred of "the dice say, 'fuck you.'" gameplay. But a couple months ago youtube spat this video on my lap: So I picked up a couple "modern" games and now a few months later I'm having trouble figuring out how I'm going to make my latest acquisition fit on my boardgame shelf. Since videogaming is kinda dead at the moment, let's talk board games! For the record, I've been exclusively collecting 2-player beginner-friendly board games.
