February 23, 200719 yr The problem with Battle Of The Sexes (and my wife and everybody I know of agrees with me), is that most of the "male" questions are simple, but the ones for the women are impossible. The women always win.

February 23, 200719 yr This site might give you some ideas, especially if you're looking for something out of the ordinary: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Board_Game_Gift_Guide Boardgamegeek is a forum for board game fanatics. I discovered the site one day while looking up old board games from my childhood, like Bonkers!, Run Yourself Ragged, and The MAD Magazine game. Just about every board game you can think of is on the site. Oooooooooo, Arkham Horror!?!

February 23, 200719 yr Some time, I want to guess around 1990-1992, there was a boardgame which centered around the idea of a plastic, cone shaped object (representing a Tornado) following a path once you spun it. I may be missing up certain elements of the game, but I recall the board was created to resemble mountains. Anyone know the title?

What is a "cooperative" game? I'm a HUGE Lovecraft fan, so this game looks like it would be right up my alley. Is it a Dungeons and Dragons kind of game?

All of the players are on the same team trying to beat the game. It's like D&D in the sense that you have characters with stats and you roll dice to determine success in actions, yes, but otherwise, no.

February 23, 200719 yr Would Naked Baby Oil Twister count as a board game? The spinner is on a piece of cardboard!

February 23, 200719 yr It's not technically a board game, but. . .Apples to Apples is amazing--I love it! Curses! Is also good.
February 23, 200719 yr Just to let everyone know, they completely re-worked and ruined the game of Life sometime in the mid 90's. The game now is "see who gets the highest salary." That's basically all there is to it now.
February 23, 200719 yr Um, I didn't bother reading the rest of this thread b/c I was so excited to mention my favorite game of all: Volopoly! (University of Tennessee-style monopoly)
