[QUOTE="Kanegrundar, post: 1856598, member: 3913"] I've been on a huge boardgame kick recently. Here's my picks: Easy to find games: Runebound: Great game that is farily similar to Talisman, but since it just came out in the last year it won't break the bank to buy a copy. Very fun. Heroscape: I bought this one on a whim and I'm loving it. I've downloaded and written up stats for many of my D&D, Mageknight, and Star Wars minis to use in that game. Battleball: It's a farily simple little "future football" game. It's pretty fun, and it's super quick to play. Plus, it comes with some pretty cool sci-fi-like miniatures. Plus, Toys R Us and Kay Bee Toys have been selling it for under $10! Betrayal at House on the Hill: Not technically a fantasy game, but it's great fun anyway. The whole traitor twist in the middle of the game coupled with a LOT of different scenarios make for a lot of replayability. Now the Hard to find games: Talisman: Good luck in finding anything other than the 3rd edition set for sale at a LGS. Even then, it's still $70. As for finding any of the expasions they're all for earlier editions (no official expasions for 3rd Ed.), and they sell for well over $100 on Ebay if you can find them at all. If you can find a copy and afford it, do so. It's simple and lots of fun. Warhammer Quest: This is GW's more super-advanced Heroquest game. This is another that is going to be very hard to find at a good price. However, it's probably the best game that GW has ever put out. Lot's of great plastic minis, and some excellent rules to boot! Hero Quest: Good luck in finding a complete copy and finding a copy for under $75-100. However, it's still a great hack and slash dungeon delve game. Easy to set up and play. Hope that helps, Kane [/QUOTE]
