  Board game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A board game is any game played on a board (that is, a premarked surface) with counters or pieces that are placed on, removed from, or moved across the board.
Board games first became widely popular among the general population early in the 20th century when the rise of the middle class with disposable income and leisure time made them a receptive audience to such games.
Although many board games have a jargon all their own, there is a generalized terminology to describe concepts applicable to basic game mechanics and attributes common to nearly all board games.

Sorry is described as a crazy race, because unlike the classic game of Ludo, where you move in the game is not determined by a dice roll, but by the cards you draw.
The goal is to move around the board and eventually reach the Home square for your colour.
A slide is a series of a few consecutive coloured squares on the game board.

It does look pretty, but not being a big fan of "games as art" (not that I object to the concept, but just don't engage in it), this would be back in the line behind a nice chess set, which at least I can figure out how it's actually played...
Here is where the game gets interesting because stones are able to move a number of spaces within a triangle - the 3 corners and the center.
One issue of the quarterly journal talks about the highest or "most gracious" game being one in which you are able to trap or "hold" the opponent's (4 stone) before any stones have been removed from the game at all.

 Wikinfo | Board game
Some board games, such as Chess, Go (Weiqi), Xiangqi (Chinese Chess), or Oware, have intense strategic value and have become lasting classics.
The rise of computers has also led to a relative decline in the most complicated board games, as they require less space, and are easier to set up and clear away.
With the Internet, many board games can now be played online against computer or other players in real time (like to classics board games available on Yahoo, Lycos and other big Internet sites) or during your spare time, every time it's your turn (see the links at the end of this article).

I bought a Game Boy Advance unit recently simply because board and card games are finally available to players who don't really fancy the arcade-style games.
SORRY: I would have paid the price of the game for Sorry alone, and since it plays a fairly good game, I consider the money well spent.
AGGRAVATION: I'm new to this game and enjoyed it immensely, but be aware that the game may go haywire in mid-game and you may need to quit and begin the game afresh.

 GameSpot: Sorry! CD-ROM Review
is a simple yet enjoyable board game, in which you take turns hopping your four pawns along a single rectangular track, moving each pawn from its separate starting area to its home base.
The object of the game is straightforward enough - be the first player to successfully move all four of your pawns into your home area.
In addition, you can choose to view the board from either a catty-cornered 3D perspective or a more traditional head-on vantage point, and you may even rotate the board to have it face any desired direction.

I got the idea to change the name of the board game "Monopoly" to "Blog-log-poly" and then to "Blog-poly".
There is not much difference for me transforming the game than writing a poem, using similes, metaphors and symbols.
At that time, we could go blogging together and join iN playing this game, which is advertising on acquiring, merger and monopoly.

Sorry Revenge is a mix of the traditional Sorry game, and Uno (especially the new variety, Uno Attack).
This is a huge boon to parents who seek a game to play with their kids that isn't as babyish as the traditional Shoots and Ladders style games.

 Chebache - A New Strategy Game - Board Games
The game board has a very striking abstract design, similar to an enlarged section of a Checker board.
Besides the game board, a rule book, quick start guide, strategy hints, path guides, 24 playing pieces and 2 King pieces, there are 4 dice - two for each player.
The paths are not printed on the board, which makes your first few games more difficult, but the game includes guides that show the paths.

The game has been around for over half a century (it was first produced in 1935) and the copy I own is at least 10 years old.
This game does get very tense and can be played by all ages bar young children (and there is a special “junior monopoly” for them which is exciting to kids but unbelievable boring to adults).
Im not quite sure how much the game retails at, at the time i bought it, it was about £19.99, im quite sure what it is now, but come on, who hasnt got a copy of this game lying about in their loft or basement somewhere.

Sorry is known as the game of "sweet revenge," since players can send each other's pawns back to the starting line, thus forcing one another to lose ground and begin all over again.

 Sorry! Card Revenge Game : Toy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In this, the latest incarnation of the old favorite "Sorry", the traditional board has been scrapped, replaced by smaller individual boards given to individual players.
But the star of the show is, improbably, a simple red pawn game piece, blown up to enormous proportions and imbued with the power of speech.
It was a touch disorienting for those of us raised on the traditional game but the process of learning to play an old game in a new way offered plenty of challenges and fun.

Sure, the game could make some families seek revenge on each other – but the beauty of the game is anyone at almost any age could plan out, seek, and avenge.
The board itself is folded in fours with a split down the middle, and the game pieces and the deck of cards fit into designed slots that keep them in place during storage.
If there was only one con that game has, it would be that the play of the game never requires a single player to sit and ponder each move to the point that other players will get annoyed or start to pay more attention to the TV or some other distraction.

We each had our own copy of the game and had numbered the squares around the board to help keep track of each other’s pieces, trusting that the other person wouldn’t cheat.
The traditional rules are taken straight from the board game (and I am going to make the assumption that nearly everyone has played this game at one point or another) and can be played against either the computer or human opponents in either teams or individually.
The game allows you to see these moves either in close-up animation shots or from the standard board view.
