There has been other posts on PR about video gaming,but i was curious if anyone plays board games. I love playing them but not able to sit up long enuf to play most of the time.

There is a game that lets you play boardgames over the internet, but i have trouble keeping up with the healthy ppl.

if anyone interested its on sale today for $9,regularly $15 at steam. Tabletop simulator http://store.steampowered.com/app/286160/

its a 3d virtual table with mods to play just about every board game out there. Not sure how well it works with slow machines, but it works fine on a somewhat decent laptop

hi traskin. that looks neat. I spend some time daily playing scrabble, which is my favorite board game. I play on a program called Wordbiz. you can play with others all over the world. it is interesting to see my score change according to the level of brain fog I have lol

@Traskin - http://en.boardgamearena.com is a nice site too. Good rating systems for wins/losses, and it's easy to avoid gits and people who don't finish games. "Puerto Rico" is my favorite one to play there.

For solo or semi-competitive games I like "Bloons Monkey City" and "Bloons Tower Defense 5". They're both free, though Steam also sells a premium version of the Tower Defense game.
