I made a board game when i was a kid. I was very interested in designing videogames, but since i had neither the knowledge nor software to do so, i resorted to drawing up a game on a large piece of paper. It was pretty shitty, but it was fun to make.

I was wondering, do some of you boys play also a Board Games and which ones are your favorite?

I happened to play Arkham Horror some time ago and it was amazing game :)

I am a member of Black Creek gamers. Settlers of Cataan, War in the Pacific are popular. Dan Versson's Field Commander Series is fine. I particularly Like Rommel.

When i was kid, i remember the game ...
Chess like field, closed by square like cards. Under the some of that card hide the mines. You & your counterpart must crossing the field & attack each other.
I can not remember the name of the game.

Sounds fun ;D

Me and my friend have invented several quite good board games, when we were teens. I still remember one of them (the board, the rules - all about it, since I still consider it a very decent game).

Could you post more info about game you designed? I'm looking for some good ideas, game mechanisms etc. Board games are good change from time to time. At least you have to meet with friends personally to play so it has more social character than PC online games...

I think you mean Stratego, at least it sound like this game.

It would take some time to put together a proper description, but I could do that, if you really want it.
