Chess Anyone?
 

:chess:

Anyone up for some Chess?

No. I can't stand chess.

My favorite game is Apples to Apples.

never heard of it

I love to cut the Chess. :scare2:

More like oranges to pears. lol lol

Apples to Apples is the greatest game I've ever played... Seriously.

It's incredibly simple but has infinite depth because it constantly adapts to fit the minds of whoever is playing it; it's genius.

The game is played with four or more people. Each player draws seven red cards, which are nouns. Players take turns being the judge; the judge flips over a green card, which is an adjective. The other players each play a card in their hand; the judge picks the card that is most relevant, humorous or disconcordant, and whoever's card is picked gets the green card. The player with the most green cards wins.


The game brings up moments that are hilarious. The green card could be "Temperamental". The first red card is "Nazi Germany". Pretty temperamental. The second card is "James Brown", which may or may not be more temperamental than Nazi Germany. But then the third card is Pop Corn. What card wins? It depends on the mood of the players and the mentality of the judge.

Don't Blame you Beag , Chess is a mans game

:D

That Apples To Apples is fun to play while drinking. Makes you think...

No, I'm pretty sure that's Go. Or Bridge. Or Reversi. Or Backgammon.



Chess is an esoteric game with overly-specialized rules and no elegance. It is less mentally challenging than other games that are orders of magnitude more simple; that's the hallmark of a Geek game, not a Man game.

Basically you dislike Chess. :humm:

Man games don't have rules for "castling" and "en passant". The elegance of a game is inversely proportionate to the rules of the game.

What about Mine Sweeper then?? lol :D

There is no luck in Chess , there for its a game of skill and strategy, as for en passant ive played a ton of games and ive never seen anyone do that.

So the guy defending chess hasn't even witnessed all the nuances of its abstruse sibyllinity?

Thanks for proving my point; chess is a cult game and not even you are a high priest. :ha:


Go, Reversi/ Othello and Connect Four are also games where chance is not a factor. And they only have one kind of piece and a handful of rules.

Funny , we have Reversi , Battle Ship , Connect Four , Checkers and Chess

Battle Ship and Chess are the best never really played the other ones too much

Try Reversi. It's like Chess, only there's only kind of piece and one kind of move. And strategy is way more abstract and difficult to visualize. It looks so simple... But then you try to think about it and run out of IQ points REAL quick.

DM, something says me that you should have a look at that Ingmar Bergman's movie :
The seventh seal...
:humm:
