You know, there are many, many other board games and card games out there besides Magic: The Gathering and Candy-Land. This is a thread devoted to them.
Come and share your experiences with exceptional games that only a few have heard of. They don't need to be rediculously deep, just fun, and obscure.
One such game would be Fist of Dragonstones. Created by 'Days of Wonder,' Fist of Dragonstones is advertised as a "closed-fist" bidding fantasy game.
The rules are rather simple. You begin with a limited number of gold, and you bid on character cards, each holding specific and unique properties/advantages/disadvantages. Some cards let you withdraw more funding from the bank, others grant you Dragonstones, from which the game gets it's moniker.
You begin every round bidding on the character cards, and to do this, you place a secret amount of gold in your fist, hidden from everyone else. All reveal their bid at the same time, and the one who was willing to part with the most gold wins the character, ranging from Thief to Rainbow Dragon to Witch.
It's a really fun game, and the fantasy theme makes it that much more enjoyable. If you'd like, you can register at the above link to join their site, for free, and try the game out online.
I'd like for this thread to make me, and any others who care to hop inside, aware of more cool and exciting board games. Anything from Vampire: TES, and Legend of the Five Rings, to any other games you would care to mention.
