Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Cat in the box - We play that any colour higher can trump any colour lower, not just red as the sole trump suit.

This stops some unstoppable-washouts where someone can play an unbeatable string of cards.
