Bloody near anything that's a game i'll play! Video games, tabletop games, wargames, board games, card games... Except monopoly... That's some serious Bull****... But i play Magic, DnD, elder scrolls, Warhammer, and most obviously and importantly, SWM!

I play Empire Total War, Battlefront 4, and Neverwinter Saga. I love to play Axis and Allies when I get together with friends.

Don't play board games nearly as often as I would like to - most of my board-game-playing friends live more than a quick drive away. Play minis (mostly on Vassal), Pandemic, Don Eskridge's The Resistance (think Mafia with more structure), Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan... none of those often enough, but those are my favorites.

Electronically, some Minecraft and good ol' Star Wars: Battlefront I and II. Formerly Age of Empires II, and Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon (naval combat simulator... in space). Haven't gotten either to work since I upgraded to Windows 10

I am heavy into video games, both in playing and collecting. Right now, I'm sitting at about 1,100 physical games. My core focus is the 360, but I have been getting a lot of N64 and SNES lately. And my digital collection's no slouch either with about 900 games in my Steam library.

Probably my most notable accomplishments in collecting is that I have over half of the Xbox 360 library in physical form and I have the 5th largest single-effect unusual collection in Team Fortress 2.

As for what I play, I'm generally up for anything except for simulation sports. I find them bleh. Right now, I'm playing Fallout 4 again with an end goal of turning every settlement into something awesome without cheats/mods. I'm also replaying Super Mario RPG now that I have a genuine copy.


For the more traditional games, I've got a rather decent library going on too (just shy of 50 games), especially since I'm the core host for game nights in my circles of friends (Having a dedicated man cave for gaming plus a table that's clean makes for a perfect location). Right now, our core favorites are Smash-Up (can't wait to get the new expansion that just came out), Catan, Machi Koro, Forbidden Island, and Cartoon Network: Crossover Crisis. Opinions may change by the end of this week as I'll be introducing Ticket to Ride, King of Tokyo, The Grizzled, and a few others on the next game night.

Pretty much just tabletop games. I've logged my plays at BGG since 2006.

As you can see, I'm really into Go Away Monster, Cranium Cariboo, Candyland, Memory, The Magic Labyrinth, and Poppa's Pizza Topple. Among others.

I have a large collection of boardgames. Don't really have time to list them all. I get together with friends to play boardgames once per week, sometimes 2 times. I like to have at least one type of boargame for each category (deck builder, epic board game, workerplacement, racing game, etc....) and i've got a fun variety of games over the years and it is my favorite past time to do. I'd take playing board games over any other type of gaming personally. Its much more personal and you get fun social interaction with people right across the table. Jamaica and Viticulture are currently favorites to play among my friends.

I also love playing computer games. Overwatch is the one i currently play the most (obikenobi1 is my game name on there) but I also enjoy playing Civilization 5. Age of Empires 3, Sid Meir's Pirates, Dominion online, Star Realms online, Pokemon online, and Star Wars The Old Republic.

I play card games every week. Pokemon (i know i know......its nostalgic for me, so it makes me happy playing it with my friends), Dominion, Star Realms, Star Flux, Batman Flux, and Smash Up (my favorite personally).

I play Star Wars RPG (WotC version). Been a GM for 6 years now. Longest campaign lasted for 3 years. Really fun times!

Mine too, all the fun of a CCG, but none of the sting to the wallet. Any particular favorite factions/combos? For standalone factions, my top factions are Killer Plants, Steampunk, and Mythic Horses, but my most effective combo ever has been Shapeshifting Kitty Cats,as that combo basically lets you use opponent's minions as sacrifices to get your better minions out there. Alien Minions of Cthulhu was also quite effective as I could keep replaying my Invader over and over, winning the game without breaking a base. On the flipside, I don't care much for the Elves, Insmouth, or Tornadoes, though my overall worst defeat was when I played Orcish Giant Ants.

Though, we always play with randomized factions, so no one falls into any sense of familiarity or complacency.

Instead of Epic 500 or Royal Rumble, maybe we could try out the Alternate Rules format?

I like to think of myself as a gaming enthusiast.

My favorite games as categorized by me are:
Basic boardgame gateway drug game
I call these gateway drug games because they are great simple games to get new gamers out of Monopoly and Risk mode and into something a bit more complex.
Catan - It's simple to teach and is played in less than 1 hour. If you are playing with new players you can play nice and make normal trades and if it's a hardcore group you can ramp up the cut-throatness. Another good game for this is one of my new favorites, Worlds Fair.

Worker placement
Love games like Stone Age. Again a simple game where luck plays a part, but strategy and planning are required. Another favorite from this category is euphoria build a better dystopia. Dumb name, cool game.

Deck Building/Card games - NOT MAGIC!!!!
I love and hate Magic the Gathering. Hate the "mana" system. To random. BUT I do enjoy Dominion which is a true Deck Building game where everybody starts at the same place and the goal is the same, to gain the most victory points. You may need to impact other players with attack cards that will impact how they play their next turn or you may just play your own game and hope you do better, but the fact that you start in the same place as your opponents and gear how you build your deck based on your possible choices at that time, makes the game new and fun every time. Other fun games are Muchkin and Citadels

non-combat strategy (Euro-style)
Some of the above game are technically Euro-style, but my classification is a little different. In this category I add games where you have to watch what your opponents do and try to hinder them without direct combat while still gaining for yourself. My favorite game for this category is hands down Puerto Rico. Every choice you make in the game shapes how you AND your opponents progress. Some times you do things that don't help you at all, but can really hinder your opponents (pick captain even if you don't have any goods, if you can force somebody to dump all their goods). A true multiplayer chess match IMO. Another fun option for this category is 7 wonders. A game where players pass a deck of cards around the table and select cards from them draft style to build your scoring or means of scoring. Sometimes you take a card because you know the person you are passing a deck to could really benefit from the card. It's a fun thinker of a game. Worker placement generally fall under this category.

Battle games (Ameri-trash)
These are games with lots of pieces and direct combat is how you win the game. They are very much like risk but with a little more hair on their chest. Games such as A Game of Thrones and Kemet . Games of thrones is a 4 hour blood bath of alliances and back stabbing. I temporarily lose friends over this game. Kemet is also a blood bath, but only takes about 1.5 hours and you don't feel too bad about losing or getting screwed because the time investment isn't as great. It's a great game but has only a few main winning strategies. I can go deeper into this topic on demand, just let me know....

Coop games
These are honestly my favorite. I like to end the game night with something like Pandemic or Shadows Over Camelot. Games where it's your game group against the board. You pick a bad action for the board, which is a choice of the lesser of a few evils, then you pick a good action for the group. The goal is to save the world from a rampant illness or save Camelot from the forces of evil. They are a lot of fun and the group gets to feel success or defeat together which is a nice way to mend fences after a night of trying to crush each other ;)

There are a lot of other games I've played but these are a quick showcase of the ones I like most.

Pretty serious, though I don't get to play stuff as much as I'd like. SWM is really the only collectible game I ever got into. Mostly I play tabletop stuff. I've been very into Tzolkin since I played for the first time at Gencon this year--anyone who is into resource management games a la Puerto Rico should really give it a shot. I also have played quite a bit of SW Rebellion this year. That game is a ton of fun, and scratches my Axis and Allies itch from when my friends and I played that back in high school. Love Scrabble as well, though I haven't played in ages. And I also share your love of Dominion.
