Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

Munchkin - I'd rather play the 'watch the paint dry' game than munchkin.

That Killer Bunnies game - ditto.

Arkham Horror - depends on what expansions are in play and if that one guy is coming...

 

[Stormonu]

Monopoly. I cannot stand that game - it's so up to chance that a monkey has about the same chance of winning in the game as everyone else. And it takes forever to finish.

I'm also reluctant to play Trivial Pursuit, based on the topic.

I never play Diplomacy any more. The first time we played it my friends and I reach a stalemate and the game lasted for four days, two of them straight without any sleep. So I said to hell with it and just let one of them take over a country so the game can end. They were really peeved at me for that.

Nobody plays Monopoly with me any more because I am really lucky and I win 90% of the time. Same with Risk. One time I amassed over fifty armies right next to one guys castle. After that he never played against me again. The other thing I like to do is with this one particular now ex friend of mine is if I'm down to a few property cards, I will quit the game and give them to somebody else other than him along with what remaining money money I have left. I refuse to let him win so he can brag about how stupid I was.

I never play Battletech or Warhammer or similar miniatures games because I suck at miniatures games and when I lose too much I get really upset at myself. Plus, whenever I lose all of my friends just tell me I'm being retarded anyway.

Settlers of Catan. Yes, great gateway game but for some reason I don't care about playing it. Maybe because I've never won, (yes, something as silly as that affects my judgement). Seems like the only way to get ahead is being a jerk and cutting off another persons growth, especially in a 4 player game (have not played with the 5-6 player expansion).

When I play with my family, the robber doesn't prevent the hex he is on from producing, which makes the game much more friendly.

 

[Wycen]

There could be other games by now I might put on my list but the last half year I've been studying more than gaming and in particular the last 3 months I've barely made it to Tuesday board gaming due to a professor liking to assign tests and assignments due Wednesdays. And I have her in two classes.

I may get a game soon I can't play simply because it'll be in German, since I asked my parents to bring something back from their vacation.

 

[Vyvyan Basterd]

Axis & Allies - I would rather dodge traffic than play this game.

Titan - I won't say I'd never play this game again, but one friend makes this a really difficult choice of game.

Risk - The basic version of this game is too dull. I prefer the LotR version that has quests and a variable end to the game, not just ending with total world domination.

Milles Borne - My wife remembered this game fondly from her childhood, but we both found the game to be completely unplayable.

"Twitch" games - I agree with the above poster. Some games that have a single twitch aspect to them are still played on family game nights with the "twitch" aspect houseruled away.

Rail Baron - I actually love this game, but you need a whole long weekend just to play it.

 

[Wycen]

Got a lot of playing in over the July 4 weekend and sadly I think I'm going to put a game on the list, at least conditionally or temporarily.

Kingsburg.

I love the game. I like the randomness mixed with calculating and the player interaction (by screwing other players for the number they wanted).

But when your highest roll is 16 and that's because of the pity dice compared to the leader who claims to have found the best path to victory and continues to prove it, it's just frustrating.

Maybe if we play using the expansion, but for now, sorry Kingsburg, even though I do love the game.

 

[Deset Gled]

My GM refuses to play Apples to Apples, which I love to tease him about.

There's a group of relatives that I won't play Apples to Apples with. They like to choose winning cards based only off of what they think is funny (never paying attention to anything resembling a good match), and think that random non-sequitor answers are the funniest things in the world. I stopped playing with them after I realized this and won twice in a row by throwing completely random cards. Interestingly, many of the people in the group will be fun to play with when there is a different group present.

I also don't play Risk with some people I know who openly admit to cheating at it. I like playing Risk. I don't like needing to closely watch a player for hours on end while being afraid to go to the bathroom.

 

[Verdande]

I won't play Monopoly- at first it's pretty cool, but after the second hour the charm's worn thin.

I also don't really like playing Trivial Pursuit; the people who want to play it are the ones who are "trivia buffs" and they end up stomping all over everybody else.

Starcraft (the board game) can get tiring, since we always play super defensive and so sit around amassing an army until one side obviously wins, then the other side quits. Whee!

 

[oni no won]

The one game I absolutely will not play any more is Puerto Rico. I hate that game with a passion partly due to my experience playing with a group of people and my inability to wrap my head around the concept of the game. It is one of those games where if you are unfortunate to sit next to an experienced player, you will find yourself being exploited. Also, since there is no luck in this game, an experienced player will always win.

Another game I hesitate to play is Settlers of Catan when playing with married couples. Everytime there was a married couple playing it (in my experience), they gave each other an advantage by teaming up.
