I don't really play board games anymore, but I do still try to make time to play a game of Stratego with someone every now and then. For those who haven't played, it's best described as a capture the flag scenario where you and an opponent are in charge of two opposing civil war era armies. You each have the same amount and types of soldiers, some with special abilities, others just with really high attack value, as well as some stationary mines. All of these are represented in tiles with a number value assigned to everything other than mines.
The difference is in how you choose to place the different tiles around the board so as to maximize your chances of getting the enemy flag first and avoiding them getting yours without a certain amount of effort. You can try surrounding and isolating your flag with mines, you can try decoy tactics, you can try keeping a general near your flag to smite anything that comes near...it's all up to the player. Ahhh, good times playing that game at the cottage as a kid. |

The one board game (or rather, card game) that I used to play and had such a great time with was Citadel, with my circle of college anime fans. Sadly, the owner of the game changed schools and I haven't played it again since.
It's been quite a while since I go visit them, but my college circle was once struck with this board game fever and played quite a handful of them, and even created alternate versions of them. For example, they created Bonanza, but instead of nuts, they made it so that they plant Touhou lolis. We also invented a strategy board game which was inspired by combining trumps and chess together. And because of the Saki fever, a lot of us have been practicing mahjong as well, and I've even heard they plan to cheaply make their own tiles.

Oh look it's my old thread. Board games have kind of taken a back seat for me lately due to my friends getting back into MtG which I tend to prefer. Have played a couple other non-collectible card games recently too though (I consider those basically board games without the board.) Cards Against Humanity, the opposite of family fun, and Tanto Cuore, which would probably be of particular interest to many people who frequent this site.
http://www.tantocuore.com/ It's basically Dominion except with maids and features pictures from several well-known anime and manga artists. |

Just in case, may I ask if virtual board games exist in the internet somewhere? Maybe with lobbies or lounges where people can play with others over the internet. Something similar to Tenhou, only on other games.

I guess the easy answer is a resounding yes.
