My all-time favorite is Advanced Third Reich by Avalon Hill. It can be combined with Empire of the Rising Sun for a Global War!

[ealgeone]

Loved that game.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

I played Diplomacy, Risk, Dungeons and Dragons, and our own made-up war game with hex paper on a 6x4 foot piece of cardboard. All in high school 48 years ago.

Acquire and Rail Baron are absorbing. And they only take 90 minutes to 2 hours.

My all-time favorite is Advanced Third Reich by Avalon Hill.

Wasn't "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" advanced enough? 90 pages of 8 1/2" x 11" instructions in 6 point type.

[Dr. Sivana]

I play the baby games like Risk and Monopoly.

[libh8er]

Chess. But 2D only.

[StolarStorm]

tripleA can be played online and via email.

[DFG]

We play Scrabble.

[DCBryan1]

We are a board game family. We are playing lots of Pandemic and Agricola lately.

[TheWriterTX]

Chess, Risk, used to be a DM back in the day.

Still play chess. Taught my kids how to play.

[Rockingham]

I played Avalon Hill and SPI games as a boy, but very seldom in later years.

[Liaison]

Go, mostly online, as there few player near me.

Panzer Blitz
Haven’t played since college, 38 years ago.

[thescourged1]

Did so many of those back in the day.

Squad Leader, Panzerblitz, Traveller series, Fortress Europa, Star Fleet Battles, the list is endless.

I parted with all my boardgames over 30 years ago, but my best buddy had a mirror collection of them, and more. He lost all of them in the Paradise CA fire of 2018. Many were irreplaceable.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Anyone here heard of Cosmic Encounters?

[Buttons12]

I dipped into Age of Empires when I was 10...AE III, if I recall...but decided it’d never replace chess. Some friends are still playing these games today, so they obviously have enduring appeal. And they are probably a lot more sophisticated now!

[Lee Enfield]

Haven’t for years, but I still buy them in case I can find space and opponents when I retire.

[Grimmy]

I used to play Squad Leader.

Then came Advanced Squad Leader. This game could benefit from some college courses on rule interpretation and legal arguing.

My favs were Panzer Leader and Wooden Ships, Iron Men way back in the day.

I do PC strategy games now such as the Hearts of Iron, Europa Universialis series and Medieval2: Total War, with the Europa Barbarorum 2 mod.

[Leaning Right]

I owned a few Avalon Hill games back in the day. And I remember that they often favored the German side. For example, in their ‘D-Day’ game the Germans could stack units three-high, but the Allies could only stack two-high.

Funny that I can remember that old rule, but I have no clue as to where I put my car keys 10 minutes ago.

Risk?
