ENTER! Misc Avatar Contest: Game Boards
- Thread starter Timewalker
- Start date
Well, apparently, there's no point in keeping my original entry after all, so I'll go with this instead:
- Operation
Oh, why? because of me? I was planning on choosing something else, just didn't think of a good one yet.
I was going to pick Bonkers! wherein kids actually place a random card on a space to determine what a space does, but no board game beats this Sarlacc Pit game with Gammorean Guards
Add me to the list of people who never had Candyland. The only board games I really remember from my childhood are Mouse Trap, Operation, and a Civil War game that probably doesn't exist anymore. We weren't really big on board games.
I'm thinking of replacing mine with Sale of the Century.. it had a five person buzzer system.. a first of it's kind, called Quizzard.
But Gamorrean Guards are cool

There aren't any restrictions as far as I'm concerned on whether two versions of the same game get posted. I knew going into this that there are many versions of Monopoly and Clue, for example. All I ask is that they be RL, physical game boards and not a computer version.
Yeah, and it didn't help that I was terrible at it!
(Apparently the modern versions of the game have really toned it down, though.)
BTW, I love your Borg avatar!
The one that gave me nervous fits as a kid was "Perfection," when the timer would run out and all the pieces would fly up in your face.
The two games I had that especially annoyed the adults were Trouble and Gambler. Both had really noisy methods of dice-rolling.
Same here. Hand-Eye coordination was never my strong suit.
Is that what the actual game board looks like?Almost all of my favorite board games have been posted already. I doubt this one will get many votes but going with HeroClix anyway.
^The board is generally a piece of paper but the game itself is the pieces (you could even create your own board). I assumed that the contest was about the board or the game. If it is the board, I may sit this one out as I can't come up with anything that can even compare to what has already been posted. Wikipedia does consider it a board game and the characters are sold separately.
The avatar has to include an actual game board. So to answer your question, it's the board itself. Pieces by themselves are not acceptable, but if they are on or beside the game board, that's okay.
The game board itself for the game is lacking.
But most generally make their own boards. Movement is based on the squares so you could use anything that's checkered.
The only board game board I can think of that hasn't been used is Puerto Rico but I doubt it would get any votes, and Risk 2210 but I don't want to split the votes. I'll just sit this one out. Good luck everyone.
