NON-video games, what are some of you favorites?

[TruckDriver]

I thought this would be a neat topic. I am just currious as to who likes what games. I do not mean video games either. I mean board games, or card games, etc.

My favorites are Cribbage, and most card games. (although I never understood Sheeps head or Rummy)

I also like the game Risk, Monopoly, Life, Battleship, Yahtzee.

And I like Chess a lot and Checkers too.

That's funny. my first ever Ebay purchase was the king oil game. My wife told me the same thing, about how great it was and how she wished she still had it...the look on her face when she opened it that Christmas was priceless. best 100 bucks I ever spent.

I really like cribbage.  Especially for money.  The most I have won in a single game is $2400.  That's playing $10 a peg and double skunking my uncle.  And I do like a lot of other card games and board games.

Another vote for cribbage here.  I'm not good at card games but I can play some cribbage.

I also like any and all trivia games, especially movie ones.

Who remembers Gnip Gnop?

[jamie1974]

   King Oil? Never heard of that one...My all time favs are Monopoly, Clue, Life.

   I have been thinking about getting into collecting old board games on ebay...like a Monopoly version from the 40's would be kinda cool to have around.

   What is "King Oil" about?

   Oh I remember playing a game called "Go For Broke" when I was a kid that I liked a lot, but don't know where it is anymore.

Quote off the web; cause I'm lazy. "King Oil is a boardgame by Milton Bradley, created in 1974 and now long out-of-print. The game requires players to drill for oil on a three-dimensional board, acquiring property and wealth. The board is randomized using three rotating discs, hidden inside the plastic frame of the game. There are 512 possible set-ups for the game.

The rotating discs determine the depth of the wells that players will drill, with four possibilities, dry hole and three different oil bearing depths (the deeper the more costly for the player to harvest the oil).

Pipelines can be bought once you have 4 producing oil wells on a property. The pipelines span into adjacent properties, enabling the pipeline owner to siphon royalties from the adjacent property owner every turn. This game mechanic accelerates bankruptcy of opposing players, keeping total playing time within reasonable limits.

The goal of the game is to push all your opponents into bankruptcy. Once all players are bankrupt, except one, that last remaining player is the winner.

The game is played by two to four players. The game includes 1 playing surface, 84 derricks, 128 well caps, 24 tool sheds, 38 pipelines, and 32 King Oil turn cards"
