Two weeks ago I participated in the gamer tag about my video game preferences. There is also a Tabletop Gamer Tag floating around the blogsphere and I happened to find it on this blog: It’s More Than Just Gaming. Now that you know my gaming preferences, let’s dive deep into the Bizarre Brunette’s Official Table Top Game Tag.
Favorite Type of Table Top Game
Cooperative is my favorite. I like being able to pick a character and go through the game together. Some great cooperative games include: Arkham Horror, Pandemic and Letters from White Chapel.
Favorite Game

Left to right: The boyfriend and my brother playing Arkham Horror. My 21st B-Day Summer 2015
Arkham Horror is my all time favorite board game. I have mentioned this game every chance I get, but I love it that much. This picture that I posted above is my boyfriend and my brother playing this game on our screened in porch. That was my 21st birthday and I was a little tipsy off of my martini I had at dinner. This was one of my favorite memories from that summer.
What game have you played the most?
Without a question Arkham Horror.
What game do you want to add to your shelf?

Smash Up at River Quest
Smash Up is a game I definitely should purchase for my own collection. I love the cat deck obviously, but I also need the expansions too. It’s really easy to learn and goes by quick. Arkham Horror can take 5-6 hours which I am not always in the mood for.
Favorite Game to Share with Non-Gamers?
Shadow Hunters is a great game for beginners. The artwork is inspired by anime which is great for all of your manga loving friends. This game also goes by pretty quick and it’s easier to learn too. In my opinion, it’s never a good idea to share a complicated game with a newbie. This game is simple and fun.
Well-Known Game you haven’t played?
Still have yet to play Munchkin!
Show off your Game Shelf!
Unfortunately, I don’t have a game shelf. My room at my house at the moment is so small that my games are piled in the most random places. Instead of showing off my shelf, I’m going to show off some board game pictures I took. I tend to take a lot of pictures while playing board games because I like to upload them to my blog and it reminds me of memories while playing the game.
Playing Shadow Hunters at my uncle’s house. My brother owns this game so it wouldn’t appear on my gaming shelf. This is a hunter card and she tries to hunt the demons and other such creatures. Isn’t the artwork super pretty though?
Here Kitty Kitty is another quick game about collecting cats. At the end of the game you earn points based on what type of kitties you collect or what cards you have at the end of the game. It was a fun random night of gaming at River Quest.
My last photo is from playing Red Dragon Inn 2 outside. Me, the boyfriend and my friend at the time drank some wine and played this game outdoors. This is one of my favorite memories of Summer 2015.
Link your Table Top Gaming tags in the comments because I would love to hear about your gaming memories.
Some excellent choices. Arkham Horror was one of my first big games, and as coincidence would have it, I got the last expansion yesterday (Curse of the Dark Pharoh). Will be doing an unboxing video soon. (I have all the rest but didn’t bother with Miskatonic University as it just has cards and I can get them trhouh an app if I want). Pandemic is brilliant. Red Dragon in is great. You’d probably enjoy flashpoint (firefighting coop) and thunderbirds (Same maker as Pandemic, but with Thunderbirds)

Ooo I think I’ll have to do this tag! I have yet to play Arkham Horror! We have Eldritch Horror which is super fun, but sometimes can be WAY too long (also, kind of our own fault for starting late at night sometimes haha.)

Yeah that’s the thing about Arkham Horror; it’s very long. I love playing it, but I have to make sure I have time to finish the game.

This was great fun to read 🙂 You need to play munchkin, as I’m sure many people have told you 😉 It was my first step into tabletop games and as long as you have a good group of people it’s great fun!
