best 'beer&pretzels' game?

Kobolds Ate My Baby!

All hail King Torg!

All Hail King Torg!

You can't dismiss a game where the base system is actually named after beer and pretzels. It's specifically aimed at your question.

The Dork Tower Game from Sjgames. My wife loves it, and it is a great hack and loot alternative to our usually more character driven gaming.

I've played many a beer & pretzels game. Technically, since we drink beer and eat pretzels (with a Nutella dip) while playing D&D, it counts as one too, but I digress...

It Came from the Late, Late, Late Show
Chez Geek
Munchkin
Awful Green Things from Outer Space
Illuminati
Feng Shui
Nuclear War
Ricochet Robot
Carcassone
Settlers of Catan

Oh, heck, I'll confess. We play everything as beer and pretzels games. Because we like beer and pretzels.

Car Wars !!!!!!!!

Take one big floor, lots of model cars, bikes, trucks, etc, dust down the Car Wars rules, equip your vehicles with guns, Guns and GUNS, grab a load of willing silly friends and lots of beer, and have a blast.

Use food, shoes, people's arms, household pets as obstacles and let all hell break loose.

It works, promise.

Any takers for The Creature That Ate Sheboygan?

And, yes, Kobolds Ate My Baby! is a real winner

Battle Cattle! The game is like the old BattleTech. But, you know. With cows.

Well there's always Fairy Meat or any of the games mentioned in KoDT.

For a fun one shot try Spaceship Zero, based on the cheesy sci fi radio shows of the 40's. I played in a one shot of this at Piratecats Boston Game Day last year and it was a lot of fun.
