@hartmich @Everycol0r The nerdier/better one is the second edition board game. It's essentially GoT risk. But it also takes about 3 days to play (no exaggeration lol)

Are you sure it's the same? There is a different version (first edition) called Game of Thrones: The Card Game (card v. board). I heard both are good, but the board game is the card game on steroids. It's intense. If it's the card game, report back! I've only played the board game version

hartmich

@loveindc hhmmmm this is what it says, definitely doesn't have a board!

breezybee

RAD!  I'll probably need to buy that immediately. Let us know if it's fun.

I can't get my other half to play cards. 

I just got back from the book store. Been threatening to buy books for a couple weeks. Bought a book called Trafficking and another called get your shit together - a guide about not giving a fuck. 

We also just got our quote for our business expansion - I'm drinking rum - it's that good. 

Tennis11785

I'm sitting here watching the Duke/UNC basketball game.  I don't understand how free throw rates for basketball players aren't higher.  The average college player makes it 69% and the average NBA player hits it 75%. I get that no one is perfect, but shouldn't those rates be higher?  It's not like there are things like defenders or wind to impact the shot.  

KatieEl

@Tennis11785 yes! It's a free throw, it's basically free points.  I'll never understand how the rates are so low.  It's seems like such a practicable skill too. Our HS girl's coach was dictatorial about practicing free throws and our school a) had a super high free throw percentage and b) almost always won state (so it's not like practicing that skill hurt them at all)

darkrose88

@FLAshley I looked up the second book, and it sounds like something I really need to read. I really need to get my shit together...

DH and I just got done watching an episode of SHIELD. We are so far behind on just about every TV show we watch together.  

flashley-2

@Tennis11785 I wish I could elaborate on your comment but man I'm just not a sports fan unless it's equestrian.....

@darkrose88 Silly me.... I feel like this book is going to be a life changer. I need to learn how to say f it and be rid of all this negativity. Chances are I won't make it past page 20. Lol 

cdnrunning

@FLAshley I always loved watching the Canadian equestrian team during the olympics!

flashley-2

@cdnrunning I always wished I would have taken my riding further and had made it somewhere in the equestrian world. Turns out my life as a horses owner is Cuba, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Dominican waiting on me to feed them. Oh how I would love a vacation. 

cdnrunning

@FLAshley I wished the same. It was such an expensive sport and my mom paid for private lessons for the longest time. We even looked to buy a horse at one point....but it just wasn't in the cards. Now I have three dogs....and they jump furniture, does that count?

@hartmich Sorry for the P&G! We have company. Just wanted to jumped back and say I didn't know they did a second edition of the card game! Definitely tell me how it is We are a HUGE board game house and totally would love to add another good one to add to the collection!

gameofsucculents

I need to add to my collection of board games as well!! What other games are favorites with all of you? 

We just started playing Mexican train (dominos game) and Tripoly. We're always looking for more! 

pebbledam

@gameofsucculents - I love board and card games! Some of my favorites include Ticket to Ride, Settlers of Catan (with and without expansion packs), Takenoko, Dixit, Love Letter, Guillotine, Blokus, Bang, Betrayal at House on the Hill, and Citadels. There are so many good ones out there!

cdnrunning

@gameofsucculents We love scattegories, reverse charades and cards against humanity.

libgirl1981

Jumping in on the board games there's an awesome card game called Mille Bornes that me and my family just love! Second ticket to ride, also great!

KatieEl

@libgirl1981 Mille Bornes is my favorite game!

flashley-2

Does anyone play skipbo or crazy 8s anymore ??? I love those games !!!

I swear some of the best money we spent lately was on a dartboard and a few darts !!!

Everycol0r

We just bought that game Ticket to ride. Better be good or I'm comin' for y'all!

Stargazer1lily

@FLAshley My sister and I use to play crazy 8`s count down just to make the game last longer.

jsnakehole

Somehow woke up with yet another sore throat/cold situation. At least it's not the flu this time.

I'm being impossibly lazy and just placed an order on Fresh Direct in lieu of actually going grocery shopping this weekend. I hate myself for doing it, but I know I'll feel so good about not leaving the house today.

@morado23 @cdnrunning

Thanks! loving these suggestions, can't wait to start collecting!! 

Cricket648

@morado23 Yes! I love so many of those games. Dixit and Ticket to Ride are two of my favorites! I also love Pandemic and Arkham Horror (that one's super nerdy). And Munchkin, of course, becasue it's a classic. King of Tokyo, Small World and Coup are also good. I've never heard of Love Letter or Guillotine, so I'll have to put them on my list!

Yes! I forgot about skipbo, but I play phase 10 and Uno all the time, and our neighbors taught us Spades so we play with them while we drink wine and get wasted. 

darkrose88

@Cricket648 I love pandemic! It is such a fun game. We also have an expansion pack for it.

We've got ticket to ride, monopoly, battleship, trouble and love letter. DH and I decided for our second date ever to get childhood favorite games to play - I got battleship and DH got trouble. 

Cricket648

@darkrose88 That is such a cute date idea! I'm totally stealing that.

flashley-2

This book I started reading is soooo good. I am almost half done. Trafficked - Sophie Hayes. Worth the 20 bucks. 

jsnakehole

Despite napping most of the day, I'm still feeling miserable. I'm currently wondering if there's a way to eat ice cream in the shower. 

MJDsquared

PMS hit me so hard today. I've cried so much/so hard over everything imaginable. Plus some middle-aged man with his prepubescent son yelled out his baby poop colored Hummer, "I have the right of way, you ugly bitch!" when I was crossing the street in a parking lot. As a pedestrian. Which would mean I have the right of way.

I'm ready to go to bed. @jsnakehole If you figure out how to do that, let me know. That sounds pretty amazing.

libgirl1981

@FLAshley We play ALL those games.  King Korner, Skip-bo, Phase 10... DH isn't really a game guy, which is pretty sad. 

jenotontx

@MJDsquared OMG!! What a douche canoe... especially in front of a child. What the eff is wrong with people.
