Boardgame??

I never knew that boardgame are more than just a boardgame.

When i was a little, the only boardgame that i have is those 8 in 1 games such as Snake'n Ladder, Chess, Reverso/Othello or as far as i can remember. Then during Christmas, i requested dad to buy me a Monopoly boardgame as a present so that i can play with my siblings. Soon, Bingo and Scrabble come into my childhood game collection. 

Card game? Yep, i do have and as i can remember; Snap and Happy Family cardgame was a hit during my primary time. Oh, not to mention the UNO cardgame. Having loads of fun with my friends around whenever teachers are away from classroom. 

I wonder if this game still available in here.
And now, i played something that was so much fun other than these actually, thanks to chubby bringing me to play along. So what is boardgame? It is a game of strategy played with moving pieces on the board. 

Betrayal at House on the Hill
This first boardgame i was introduced. Very fun la playing this game. Bit suspense and mysterious. It allows players to build their own haunted house until at some point someone triggers a scenario called Haunt. So when the Haunt is revealed, the person will become a traitor and the rest players, the heroes will struggle to survive to defeat the traitor. It has more than 50 haunts, each with its own story. Uh huh, me love suspense~~ 

Building up the haunted house. The more rooms the better!
Wanna see how this game played? I managed to googled the online demo --> Betrayal at House on the Hill

The Settlers of Catan
It was the award winning boardgame. The players represent settlers and build settlements, cities, and roads to connect them as they settle the island. The goal of the game is to reach at certain victory points on one's turn. The points are scored from each settlement they own or various other achievements such as establishing the longest road. Though is an award winning boardgame, i don't find interest in playing it. To learn more about this game, you can check 'em --> Catan

Carcassonne
It is a tile-placement game in which players draw and place a tile with a piece of landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a cloister, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played; cities to cities, roads to road, etc. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of his meeples on one of the areas and scores points. Can you see, these meeples are so kewt!!

Agrigola
It is a game about farming where you have to build a well balanced farm at the end of the 14 rounds, every player get to do 2 actions in each rounds. Fun to me but the time played quite long. Need to think. Haha. Me no good in farming. All i do is plow field plow field! Too lazy for me to explain, all i do is copy paste the "how to play this" thingy, you go check it out, googled it yourself. I happen to found an online game for this, not sure how it works but you make go and explore this -->> Agrigola Online

Small World
I like this game! This is a conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all and comes with various races and special powers to expand the empires. 
This is only some of the boardgames i've ever played. I even enjoyed playing new cardgame recently; Monopoly. Monopoly in cardgame?? Monopoly is not boardgame meh? Hehe.. i thought so...
Monopoly Deal
I tell you, this game is dangerous! It is addictive! I really cannot stop playing it in the beginning. The goal is to collect 3 complete sets of properties of same colour. Sounds easy huh but not when you have action cards that enables other players to stop you from building all 3 sets by stealing your card, making you pay rent, etc. This is fun game! 
Since my friend bought the Monopoly Deal : the goal is to collect 3 complete sets properties, i bought myself a Monopoly Millionaire Deal, same rules game except to collect 1M and win! 
Millionaire Monopoly Deal
Love this cards! So many bling bling on the card. Me likey but most of my friends no likey coz the bling confuse them. =3
Playing Millionaire Deal with chubby! I'm winning!!

Enjoyed playing this game with friends in cozy chilling environment. Somewhere that serves nice drink and snack and most important the place is clean!
