Where did the tagline come from anyway? Diplomacy with the dead? What diplomacy? Zombie State: Diplomacy of the Dead is mostly solitaire stuff. Last Night On Earth can be fun but is not very deep. For me, Arkham Horror is probably the best horror game (I only have the base game and have yet to try Mansion of Madness).It is difficult to create a scary atmosphere using just a few lines of description and flavor text.
You can’t put cheap scares or gore or convoluted plot twists in a boardgame. Unfortunately, horror-themed games are difficult to do well. I am a horror fan, both movies and books, especially the subgenre of zombies, even before zombies became the "in" thing nowadays.We have only ever done online games, but those 2 sessions that we played were exciting. Axis & Allies is another prominent franchise in this genre.I will rank Star Wars the highest among these, but it’s mostly a 3-players game, with cool powers and different strategies for each faction. I have 3 other Risk variations in my collection - Lord of the Rings, 2210 AD and Star Wars.So what if you'll only play the game 15 times (game components will not be modified anymore after 15 games)? How many games can boast 15 plays anyway? We now only have the World Capitol pack and the last pack unopened. It’s a joy every time we reveal another pack, tear up a card or apply a sticker. Risk Legacy is one of the most innovative designs in 2011.The best thing in life is “to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women”, said one famous Cimmerian. The dudes-on-a-map type of game is my first love.This was an interesting exercise for me, and I hope you will find it entertaining too. I will start with Han's write-up, then move on to Allen's, and finally end with my own. We did our lists in simultaneous selection fashion, not knowing what others were going to put in their lists. I asked both Han and Allen to share with me their top 10 games and do write-ups about the kinds of games they like. To spice things up a little here, and also for my own interest, I decided to do a top ten list comparison among my most regular gaming buddies.
