Portal is actually pretty simple... just finished. Only got stuck on one or two parts. Chromehounds for Xbox 360 You really need strategy to win this, running out guns blazing never works. Some builds are kinda broken though.
[QUOTE=FFStudios;15110839]Myst. Will make you shit bricks if you're not smart.[/QUOTE] I got to the third level when I was about 7 when I got it, but I never could get past that level. I'll have to find it again and play it.
You forgot Monopoly.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt warhammer just rely on the luck of the dice? I'd say the same about monopoly
[QUOTE=A Glitch;15114635]Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt warhammer just rely on the luck of the dice?

[QUOTE=Kamikaze;15110762]Same with me. Everyone I know plays Magic and D&D. Like half our school plays either one of those.[/QUOTE] Yeah, high five for being different!
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;15114718]Not so with Monopoly, it requires shrewd planning, hardline statistical probabilities (as in, Orange pieces are the best investment, while Green/Yellow are good in the short-term) and in-game dealing.[/QUOTE] It's fun whenever you're the first person to get Boardwalk and then you auction it off for twice it's value to someone who doesn't realize that it's not a particularly good space at all. Oriental Avenue is where it's at because you can build four houses on it for a nickel.
Dwarf Fortress.
Magic is super silly. Whenever my friends and I go to GranLan, there are like ten tables set up behind the PC's where about 15 people - ages ranging between 10 and 40 - sit and rage and laugh uproariously at their game. It's amusing. I don't think I could ever get into it though.
Chess is the greatest game ever. Settlers of Catan is pretty fun, as is Carcassone. My sister says scrabble's pretty sweet.

I just played it on my laptop that was built in 1989. Haha.
[QUOTE=Mooe94;15112679]I don't see how they're "smart" games.

Magic is fun. I used to play it all the time with friends. My deck was a time-counter deck... full of really cheap-to-bring-out cards that were rather powerful (and that had effects that would go off whenever they left and entered play), at the catch that they only could stay out in play for no more than 1-5 turns depending on the card. Great deck when you knew how to manipulate your hand/cards into making your biggest "weakness" (the cards leaving play after a set amount of turns) into your biggest asset. [img]http://www.mindarch-games.com/catalog/images/Dust%20Elemental.full.jpg[/img] Pretty awesome card. The fact that you have to return three creatures isn't so bad if all your creatures are going to "expire" in one turn anyways and have abilities that fire off whenever they leave or enter play :3: But anyways, more games: [img]http://www.gamesummit.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/g022-stratego.jpg[/img] It's kind of like chess, except with more "units" and you can't see the opponents units (and you decide where everything goes).
I want to try this Magic game, seems interesting...

^ugh, i used to play that. so tough.
Go. EDIT : Beaten, twice...
Fuck your portal, play some real mind games like The Neverhood. [img]http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/neverhood/neverhood.jpg[/img] That game will outsmart you as long as you don't cheat.
I've always wanted to play Go. Diplomacy is great fun. It's essentially Risk without any chance whatsoever. [IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x309/JohnnyMo1/diplomacy_board.jpg[/IMG]

Love chess, played Portal, never got into Magic for various reasons. Ooo, Risk is awesome. I haven't played for years, I miss it. :(
