A board game is a game in which counters or pieces are placed, removed, or moved on a premarked surface or "board" according to a set of rules. Games may be based on pure strategy, chance or a mixture of the two and usually have a goal which a player aims to achieve. Early board games represented a battle between two armies and most current board games are still based on beating opposing players in terms of counters, winning position or accrual of points (often expressed as in-game currency). There are many different types and styles of board games. Their representation of a real life situation can range from having no inherent theme, such as Checkers, to having a specific theme and narrative, such as Cluedo. Rules range from the very simple, such as in Tic-tac-toe, to ones which describe a game universe in great detail, such as in Dungeons & Dragons, although most of these are Role-playing games and the board is secondary to the game, serving to visualize the scenario. The length of time it takes to learn to play or master a game can vary greatly from game to game. Learning time does not necessarily correlate with the amount or complexity of rules; some games, such as chess, have simple rules that can still lead to complex scenarios. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What are the advantages of having traditional board games online? Q. What are the advantages of being able to play traditional board games online rather than playing them in the real world. Stuff like not being able to cheat or not enough space (include these) Thank you in advance :D Asked by Natasha - Tue Jan 5 05:32:17 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Honestly the advantage is you don't have to pick up the pieces and find somewhere to store it. In a closet shelf etc. It's still just as fun just not the mess and clutter. This among other things you already mentioned. Answered by Demiurge - Wed Jan 13 00:34:17 2010 Are board games still worth buying in this day and age? Q. I've been thinking for a while now on whether I should buy a new Monopoly board game to replace my old one (in which many of its pieces are missing). But board games seem so dated to me. Do people actually still play with these things? Is it still worth the investment? Asked by aaron84 - Sat Aug 25 14:44:35 2007 - - 17 Answers - 0 Comments A. Board games are so interactive! I love playing board games or card games, but don't always think of it. It seems like movies are the natural fall back. If you make a point of playing a game that you love you'll find you have a great time! It's such a social thing. I think you should buy it!!! PS: I have some old board games that were mine as a child (Strawberry Shortcake, Snakes and Ladders etc...) that I saved and my daughter and I love playing with them now!!! All that matters is that it's a game you love! Answered by Yeslech - Sat Aug 25 14:59:46 2007 I collect board games and am wondering where could I search the value of them?
Q. I have classic games from the 1930s and about 8 or 9 different versions of monoply. In all I have about 250 - 300 board games in all. I just want to see how valuable my collection is so, if anyone knows of a website please let me know. Thanks in advance. Asked by cloudwatcher - Sun Jun 24 23:11:15 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. You could find the value of some games by searching e-bay and other auction places. But don't expect too much for free. If people can't make money they won't do many of the things we take for granted, like the internet. The last book of games I bought was printed in 2000, and I bought it at half price books. It is the most comprehensive book I've seen. It tells me my game "Big Business" is worth $75, I bought it for $10. It also has pictures of the boxes and some of the boards. Not bad for $4.98, two years ago.
