Can has tabletop?
Show of hands: Who is planning on bringing their own tabletop games?
Can we circle up our wagons and say who is planning on bringing what?
I have Pit, Once Upon A Time, and the obligatory Zombie Dice and Cthulhu Dice.
I'd bring my copies of Catan and Citadels and Bang!, but I left them up at school.
If nobody volunteers to bring Dominion, so help me I willcut a bitch run out and buy it specifically for this cruise.
Also, forgive me if this is already being addressed somewhere else. I JUST REALLY WANT TO PLAY GAMES I'M SORRY ;_;

Card games are pretty portable so I can easily bring Star Munchkin, Fluxx, and Chez Geek. I'm also planning to bring the Travel Scrabble since the little letters are so cute. Packing constraints would maybe allow me to bring one bigger box game like Ticket to Ride Europe or Agricola. I think we're also bringing the iPad which has a nice 1-5 player Carcassonne and a 2-player Small World.
If anyone's got Weinh
I have Monopoly and Douchebag iPhone Scrabble on my iPad (you can use iPhones as the tile racks apparently, which I think is kind of ridiculously bourgeois).
Or if we want a game which everyone will pretty much suck at, I have a card game I've never played which involves arranging the names of Swiss cities according to where they are geographically. I also have a set of authentic Swiss jass cards and scoring slate, although that can be played with normal playing cards anyway. Also, I've only played it online, never with actual cards, so I don't really know the rules for the parts that the online thing does automatically. And it was a few years ago, so I've pretty much forgotten the other rules too.
You are just trying to make me really regret not flying to the USA to go on a Cruise with JoCo and the best fans in the world ever!
we love boardgaming (him more than me a bit) and we have a huge collection. The problem will be packing them so they make it down and back safely
I don't even know whether I'm joking or not.
I'd love to learn some new board/card games, such as Dominion, Fluxx and Bang. Maybe Agricola, Puerto Rico, and Preosperity.
Munchkin, Citadels, Zombie Dice, Cthulu dice, Catan, and Carcassonne would be awesome. Also, SJ Games has yet to reprint it, but Give Me The Brain would be great. And Guillotine, too.
On a side note, what DS games should we pack? DQIX? MK?
I have some MTG cards but not sure if I should bring them or not.
The Great Brain Robbery, Unexploded Cow, Kill Doctor Lucky (Director's Cut), Save Doctor Lucky on Moon Base Copernicus (I think Save Doctor Lucky is in storage, but I see that will be there already), Bitin' off Hedz, Deadwood on Location, and The Big Idea.
@Molly23 do you have the expansions to Catan? if not ill bring mine.
All but Tichu are great party games, Tichu is a bit more serious and is only 4 players, it's like Bridge or Spades (similar, but better!)
There aren't many gaming groups in this area and so I hope I'll also get to learn some good new games as well. Hopefully you guys won't mind me interrogating you about the various qualities of all these games I haven't heard of.
I'm looking forward to playing games with all of you on the cruise - only 10 days away now!
Also, woot to Power Grid. My favorite board game of all time.
I have Dominion, but I don't think I have enough room in my luggage. :-/ I could always at least bring a couple of power grid expansions - I have the alternate power plant deck, and a couple of the other country boards.
I honestly have no idea what most of the games listed are, but I love games and would love to learn them all!
I plan to bring:
Zombie dice
Lexingo
Cranium pop 5
Catch phrase
Mad gab
Apples to apples
Scrabble flash
I think I also have:
Blink
Set
Scrabble slam
Upwords
A friend told me the cruise ship usually has a selection of games on board as well... Can anyone confirm that?
Thank you all for bringing games! All of mine are packed in a storage space for the next 6 months. :-/
BTW, does anyone happen to have Robo Rally? [Hopeful "Arrr"]
One fun game to play with leftover parsley, though, is to dangle your fork from your knife (because the cutlery is magnetised for some reason) and try to pick up parsley with the fork and put it in a designated part of the plate, without the fork falling off the knife. If two people cooperate you can even pick up whole slices of bread.
Okay, maybe I'm just weird.
It's a great one if we have lots of computer geeks/programmers.
Alot of these games I haven't heard of before, and I'm looking forward to trying them out. T-minus 6 days and counting!
(there aren't *actually* biohazard symbols, are there?)
added later: Illuminati, Chrononauts, R3d Nov3mber.
Exits are Out (a play tested custom parsely game based on Xenophobe)
Vikings vs Unicorns (a play tested variant of Werewolf containing robots, unicorns, ninjas, batman, vampires, werewolves, and a dog)
A few other parsely games
Telestrations
Looking forward to meeting everyone.
@nperkins
It will also depend on space, of course. We are currently doing our best impression of people packing for three months...
, and another copy of the aforementioned "once upon a time." I may also bring standard munchkin and Deadwood, but those are already covered as well.
Well, it looks like *I* am then.
(google it)
S.
I will also have an extra Tichu deck because I always carry one in my purse.
Glad someone is bringing Power Grid, Agricola, Puerto Rico - those are all great.
I am thinking I will try for Le Havre and Age of Steam and Through the Ages if I can fit them. If not I will see what fits. I don't know how much room my clothes and scuba gear are going to take up yet.
I can't wait!
There is also a Sticheln deck in my bag and I may toss some other small card games in as well.
