Your favorite lightweight game at the moment

Your favorite game of medium weight at the moment!

Your favorite heavyweight game at the moment!

Your most played game of all time!

Your favorite game of all time!

========== Here‘s my list:

  • King of Tokyo: Awesome art, great table presence, easy to learn, different winning conditions, always fun!

  • Tidal Blades: I love asymmetric RPGs with character customization! But I only got it to the table once. Time will tell if it holds up.

  • Arkham Horror LCG: My heaviest game atm, since I don’t find enough time for longer games. The most immersive game I played so far! I‘m impressed how this game is designed and I love my depressing roguelike experience with Lovecraft theme here!

  • Most played: Dominion.

  • World of Warcraft - The Board Game has to be my all time favorite: It reminds me of times, when we had opportunities almost monthly to get together and play these long games. Again, customizable asymmetric characters, thrilling item management and fighting mechanic, skill trees (expansion), everything I loved about the PC game was so well captured here.

light : No Thanks!

medium : Catan, oddly enough.

Heavy : Shasn

Most played: Probably Talisman. Me and my wife played that a lot when we were getting together

Favorite of all time: Probably still Shasn, but if I can count civ5/civ6 as a board game that gets pretty close.

However I am a bit of a game omnivore that jumps from one game to the next, so I go through phases with what games are "in" at the moment and try new games frequentlt. My wife is the opposite, preferring what she knows and a solid set of few good games. As such we make a good team in blending variety and avoiding our board game shelf growing too quickly.
