We played Visual Eyes, Evo and Dibs and then I left and I think the others played Settlers of Canaan.

Don't forget the pasta cooked in vanilla soy milk.....it seemed like good idea at the time, and it was quite tasty.

This is some kind of joke right? Visual Eyes? What the FUCK is that?

No Monopoly, Outburst, etc...

Please don't tell me these games are D & D hybrids/offshoots.

Are you guys gnome lovers, troll humpers?

What? No Uno?

More than you ever probably wanted to know, but you asked...

You know how any topic/hobby/skill you explore, the deeper you explore and delve into it the more and more complex it becomes, beyond the surface level of what everybody knows. Well board games are like that. "Monopoly" would be considered a "surface level" board game, while "Settlers of Catan" is a game that anybody who *knows* about board games would know of, and it gets more obscure from there.

These having zero to do with D & D.

Settlers of Catan, for example, is a German board game. It has a map of hexagonal pieces that you randomize for each game, it has little wooden pieces that represent roads and settlements and cities, it has resources like wood and brick that correspond to the map pieces and you collect the resources to build things. It has dice rolling like other board games. There is strategy and trading. A lot of the German games are about building things.
