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!

Yeah but then they wouldn’t be able to sell 1,000,000 copies for $65 with all the little plastic bits that will get lost as soon as the box opens and need to be replaced.

You clearly aren’t thinking enough about the shareholders.. For shame.

But I do agree. I like when breweries, cafes, and bars have board games, but it really sucks to have to go to a money-spend place to play them. I wonder if libraries have them, or would be willing to host a game day or something.

Lots of libraries have pretty decent board game collections. Definitely worth checking yours.
