Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Board games, anyone like them?

I light my kerosene lamp and we play dice.

Euchre, Rook, pretty much any card game that takes a bit of skill and covert communications.

family likes Uno, Phase 10, few others. I'm too competitive. I'm going to win, or I'm not going to play.

I do not enjoy games, card, board, or anything really. That's all my inlaws like to do when they're together, and they all gather just for games, often.

I end up doing gun projects, reading a book, working in the yard, watching my little girls so the wife can play without distraction, just about anything is more enjoyable to me than joining in. I feel bad about it, but I groan inside when people try to get me to join, they've learned to just leave me alone about it. It's good to hear that I'm not the only one.

I’m not into them at all. Wife and kids love them so they are in the other room while me, the old curmudgeon, is watching TV or napping. Dave

Oh yeah, board games are my thing. Titan, Axis & Allies, World on Fire those are all excellent. I'll even slum Nuclear Annihilation Risk once in a while. They're great down at the hunting camp, as are cribbage and chess. Just don't expect to beat the guy with a doctorate in E.E. It ain't gonna happen.

I tolerate a few of them when the grandkids are over in order to entertain them and calm them down when they are wound up.... that's about it

I i don’t like monopoly . Other than that I like them!

Lol- yeah I joined to under similar circumstances. Not much of a player but an avid spectator

I like playing cards with Wifey, winning money from her. She don’t like to lose!

I'm the same way. Wife grew up w/ that boring chidt. I can't stand it.

I do like the occasional "have friends over" and shake dice for money thing but not too often.

Before the internet, going way back, before TV, folks played card, and musicial instrments.

A very good family friend would shuffle cards on his knees like you would'nt believe.

We are spoiled.

Used to play a lot as a kid…it’s what people did in those day.

Last I can remember is Trivial Pursuit. My brother and his wife would come over and we’d play, men against women. We’d destroy them.

Company I worked for in the ‘80’s made the Monopoly game pieces for Parker Bros. Of Canada. I still have a few in my tool chest… a beaver, a Mounty aiming a pistol….don’t remember the rest.

I’m too old for that schitt now. At almost 74 I’d rather spend my evenings reloading, drinking whiskey and having sex. (Not all at once.)

Hanco: Used to - too busy now that i retired (25 years ago!).
Did enjoy Monopoly and Checkers.
Wife likes to play Cribbage but not me. She plays with our house guests often.

Gawd I hate puzzles

Help my daughter do a 500 piece taylor swift one last week. Stayed up till 3 am

I'm not a big game player but this past Thanksgiving the Grandkids wanted to play Mexican Dominos. It was a lot more fun than any other domino game I have ever played. It is a lot easier if you're sober. though and I wasn't.

Not really . I even hated them as a kid. Cards is another thing I find as boring as watching moss grow.

Played a lot of rummy with the wife and kids in the winter when we were on the prairie.

Trouble, Sorry, and Farmopoly too, but mostly rummy. I was excited when the kids were old enough to play euchre. But the wife hates it lol.

Same here...except I'm a big enough ass hole to not get roped into schitt like that.

I don't like games either. Based on the responses, evidently people that enjoy hunting and fishing tend that way.

Lol

Uh not really. Just something else to bitch about.
