What are you playing (other than video games)?

Didn’t see anything like this in the first ten pages, so I figured I’d do it myself. Most weeks I get together with a few friends for what started as a regular Dungeons and Dragons night and has evolved to encompass a few other games as well. I figured that since we’re a bunch of nerds here, some of you must have similar situations. So, what are you playing, gang? We’ve been going with:

-Dungeons and Dragons, 5th Edition. Not much to say about this one. I mean, it’s D&D.

-Betrayal at House on the Hill. Semi-cooperative haunted house boardgame that’s a lot of fun. The game board is similar to Clue, except it’s randomly generated from a stack of room cards, which shakes things up a lot from game to game.

-Star Wars: Destiny. Awesome collectible card and dice based game. Very fast-paced and intense. Games only last 35 minutes or so, so it never gets tedious like these things sometimes do.

-The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. Co-op card game from the same publisher as Destiny that plays sort of like a cross between Munchkin and Magic: the Gathering. This is the one we’ve started most recently, and I’m finding the cooperative angle to be very refreshing.

-Munchkin. We’ve done the space one, the Marvel one, and the Rick & Morty one. It’s good fun.

We also plan to give the old West End Games Star Wars RPG a spin sometime soon. So how about yous guys?

Well maybe for once you should pat it back down.
