Hi!

I'm just quickly saying hello to everybody here. I'm just getting into board gaming but I already started designing one of my own - well, not just by myself but with the help of a couple of friends. I registered here to 1) look for advices when I need one, 2) learn what my peers and more experienced game designers are doing at the moment - and hopefully get inspired of some of those ideas and 3) just have a good time learning new stuff about games :)

Like I said, right now I'm designing my first real board game (I remember doing a couple when I was just a child but I don't really think they count). I actually have a problem with one aspect of it right now but I guess I'm going to make another post about it soon enough. The game is a fantasy/adventure(/horror) themed, kind of half co-operative and half doing-your-own-thing. It has a big emphasis on narration and has A BUNCH of cards. It's still in the early stages but I have a goal of finishing it this year.

My favourite games at the moment are Arkham Horror and 7 Wonders - and Munchkin's, it's also a lot of fun! As you learn to know my taste a little big, I would be happy if you'd suggest other games I might enjoy. But I think this is enough of me right now. Hello, and nice to meet you everybody!

Suggestions

If you like "big" games, you can't go wrong with Twilight Imperium. But good luck finishing a game in a day. Still, it's an awesome experience (especially when the "execution" card comes up during a political round)! Warrior Knights is similar, but with a medieval theme.

Munchkin is good, but Cutthroat Caverns is even better. "You can not survive without teamwork; You can not win without betrayal!" Cosmic Encounter is another good one to for backstabbing friends in the name of victory!

7 Wonders is good, but we've found that in smaller groups, it is too easy for someone building the science cards to dominate. Prefer Race to the Galaxy, but 7 Wonders is still in my top 30.

What do you like about those games? The 3 you listed are pretty varied on theme, playing time, and mechanics. Have you tried Dominion? Race for the Galaxy?
