He has more games off to the right, but this is the main shelving.

This is my collection, ama. GrayDragon can confirm me as we have been friends for 40 years.

I know several people with walls if board games like this and the almost never play them. They just collect consumerist goods

I accidentally replied to @lepersbell.

I've played about 80%+ of the games on the shelf with the host, his wife, and other folks.

Same issue. I love board games with a great group.

If someone were to take a shit on my board games, it would not be constant, and they would likewise cease to be my friend. Are you in new delhi or something?

Wow, fat friend!

He's probably thinner than 50% of the folks on this site.

Not me. I'm on that fasting grind set. I'm wirey as fuck right now.

Awesome. But I said 50%. Notice you are the only one to take serious umbrage at my comment, haha!

I noticed that too! Better hope he doesn't need to get that ring off in an emergency.

Trump: The Game

They couldn't think of a better name? You're fired? Art of The Steal?

[ - ] GrayDragon [op] 2 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 09:42:53 ago (+2/-0)

We joked that he had to slap his face on it as well due to his ego. Oddly, it is actually a well-designed game.

[ - ] NaturalSelectionistWorker 0 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 09:49:51 ago (+0/-0)

Pretty sure that board game is 20+ years old, from before some of his newer catch phrases.

[ - ] TheGreatWhiteHope 0 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 17:01:16 ago (+0/-0)

This is the 2004 pre-release of the game. The box cover literally says "I'm back, and you're fired". They had plenty of chances to remarket/redesign the game.

[ - ] NaturalSelectionistWorker 0 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 22:54:07 ago (+0/-0)

Oh, my bad. I thought there was one from the 80s or 90s or whatever.

[ - ] TheGreatWhiteHope 0 points 1.7 yearsSep 6, 2022 01:18:55 ago (+0/-0)

Yeah the original release that didn't sell very well. That one was released in the 80s.

Priority Mail looks interesting! What's that about?

OMG, you made me nervous for a second thinking I doxxed my friend. Dick head.

May I come visit? I'll bring beer...

[ - ] GrayDragon [op] 0 points 1.7 yearsSep 8, 2022 05:35:56 ago (+0/-0)

If you are near NE Philly, sure. No beer needed either. My friend has a large refrigerator in the garage completely filled with beer (I have half a shelf dedicated to my shitty Yuengling Lager). Just no attitude is allowed, haha.

Easily over $10k for the collection if bought at full price based on $50-100 per game

[ - ] RabbiKinderschtupper 2 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 09:05:58 ago (+2/-0)

A lot of good ones there. Castles of Burgundy is one of my favorites.

[ - ] GrayDragon [op] 0 points 1.7 yearsSep 8, 2022 05:42:48 ago (+0/-0)

I recall the woman of the house loves that game. I just looked it up. They apparently made many versions of the game. This is the one he has (and yes, it is a very fun game):

Trump had a board game? Haha. Didn't that already exist (Monopoly)?

3M made some bookshelf board games a long tine ago. One was kinda like chess, stratego.

Talking about Feudal? I had it, but sold it.

Be careful with Risk. Almost led me to divorce.

[ - ] GrayDragon [op] 2 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 09:49:09 ago (+2/-0)

Games can do that. Oddly, stupid fucking games can do that.

[ - ] Cunt 1 point 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 09:56:38 ago (+1/-0)

He didn't have to betray me. I guess I should have learned when my father did the same when I played risk with him as a kid.

[ - ] Gowithit 1 point 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 10:03:11 ago (+1/-0)

Try getting into a whole argument over scrabble. All the insecurities came out with that one. Because I made fun of him.

That's the whole fun of Scrabble!

We never played it again.

Nice. A game to enrage folks is Code Words. A great game, but at the end of each game, the losing team will usually yell at each other. Wives will yell at husbands, husbands at wives, friends at friends. It's a big mess but the anger subsides after about a minute or so. Then everyone wants to play again so that the next losing team can do another minute or whatnot of yelling at each other again.

I dunno, that game kinda implies the holohoax happened. But I guess it would be fun to play a game where you actually make it happen.

[ - ] GrayDragon [op] 0 points 1.7 yearsSep 8, 2022 05:26:12 ago (+0/-0)

Well, concentration camps did indeed occur which in no way imply Holohoax. Also, I found out the game is actually about a POW castle. The creator of the game supposedly was a captive in the castle and supposedly the castle layout is reasonably authentic.

We are not fond of mafia type games.

No Dominion??

[ - ] GrayDragon [op] 1 point 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 10:02:21 ago (+1/-0)

I thing I heard about that game (from a job interview, no less). I forget what it is exactly, but there is a set of board games similar to it I think on that wall.

[ - ] jcapicola 0 points 1.5 yearsNov 6, 2022 18:26:47 ago (+0/-0)

Played it a few times years ago, wasn't a fan.

[ - ] UncleDoug 1 point 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 07:12:14 ago (+1/-0)

Are the chairs broken?

No Catan, Backgammon, Trivial Pursuit, Carcassone, Cluedo, Ludo, Scotland Yard?

[ - ] RabbiKinderschtupper 2 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 09:07:21 ago (+2/-0)

There are multiple versions of Catan, and at least one Carcassonne box.

[ - ] UncleDoug 2 points 1.7 yearsSep 5, 2022 10:17:31 ago (+2/-0)

"No Catan, Backgammon, Trivial Pursuit, Carcassone, Cluedo, Ludo, Scotland Yard?"

I know he has all of them except Cluedo and Ludo (never heard of them).

[ - ] jcapicola 1 point 1.5 yearsNov 8, 2022 13:59:42 ago (+1/-0)

All but Trivial Pursuit. Had it years ago, though.

Chairs are good. The one that looks broken just has two extra pieces at the end because it's one of the end chairs.
