Tabletop Simulator just doesn’t do it for me. You gotta be with the people, holding the pieces and having the board there in front of you. And a lot of games are also about just having a wonderful piece of art in front of everybody. Games in my collection like Photosynthesis or Yamatai are simply gorgeous to look at



I need to fix the backing of this shelf sometime



Just looking at these shelves brings me distinct memories of playing them with friends. All kinds of context floods back, especially with some of the games that aren’t necessarily the best in terms of gameplay but are so excellent simply as an experience, like King of Tokyo or Betrayal at House on the Hill around Halloween

Edit sorry the photos are huge lol too lazy to edit them

It's another beast entirely when played alone.

I own a few board games and play with friends every few weekends.

Some personal favorites from my shelf:

Samurai
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3/samurai

I've got this old school version of the game. The newer releases have different graphical design.
The rules are quite simple (except for the mildly complex rules for tallying points), but it's very deep once you get beyond the surface.

Ivanhoe
https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/883/ivanhoe

A good mix of "take that!" and risk assessment. You draw cards all the time, so it's got a big random factor, but there's a lot of tactics in whether or not to expend the cards you have quite yet, since you can play as many as you want any round, but only draw 1.

A few well known games I also really like: Carcassonne and Timeline.

Also worth noting: Samurai and Ivanhoe, plus several of my other favorites are from the same designer: Reiner Knizia. He's made so many good games, including ones that I've played but haven't bought yet. For example:

Tigris & Euphrates
Through the Desert
Ra
