I was just curious if any chess minds out there also play any of the old 80's Gamemaster series board games. Axis and Allies, Conquest of the Empire, Shogun, and Fortress America? I did play them in the mid to late 80's and as I recall they required a bit of tactical thinking. Interested in other opinions, Thanks.

I could sit and play "Axis and Allies" and "Risk" for hours. Nobody is willing to play though. I must be old.

I just saw Risk Black Platinum Edition in Barnes and Nobles. It was like $75, but I bought it, and am now stuck playing myself lol.

A bunch of us play there. Some of us are pretty good players, some moan that the dice are not fair.

Axis and Allies!

We used to play that and my friends and I have had a HECK of a time to find the board game. The guy who had it moved out of state.

That game comes up in conversation once every 9 or 13 months for the past 20 years.

Seconded.

I have also taken a liking to the board game Settlers of Catan. Great, great game. The app version for iPhone/iPod is also very enjoyable.

Shoe shop X-rays and color screen adapters for the black and white TV console cabinet, as well as Victrolas were before 'most' of our time... not Pacman.
