What's your "Old Reliable", your comfort game?

Post by BalGAmor »

Sometimes you just need a relaxing session. Which BGA classic do you always return to when you want a stress-free, friendly match?

Harmonies - so friendly and pleasant with others, yet just competitive enough and yet no big deal win or lose.

For this sort of thing, I love Tokaido. The theme of the game and its mechanics… it’s competitive vacationing (but, for me at least, never super competitive… it’s just right)!

Not competitive, just a game you enjoy playing. For fun.

Ah, I see. Yes, all games are for fun, but none of them are friendly.

I attack for you for +7 with armour piercing while invisible. I think you'll find we have a house rule about no crying in the corner.

All games get old pretty quick now. If you get comfortable, it's probably time to move on.

We just finished all 66 levels of bomb-busters, starting from xmas. That's probably a record for my family, and amazing no-one got hurt by the end. My guess is, that it's unlikely now to see the light of day again now, unless to show it off to someone new. But a testament none-the-less to how good a game it is and we enjoyed it.

I guess at times, you can descale and play Haiclue, decryto and Just One. The nothing to serious word games, Haiclue would be my favorite. But you still want to win right...
