@Rei Onryou It’s over-rated.

I used to have a seven in one game board. It was magnetic and had little dials to dial the game board (one long strip of paper under a sheet of clear plastic, with seven different printed game boards on it) to different pages to play Parcheesi, Chess, Checkers, and oh man that was so much fun I can’t even describe how I loved that baby.

@DSX, ahh the good ol’ shot glass chess boards. Higher the pieces the larger and stronger the shots get. Suits my style of ‘screw tactics and take as many pieces as you can’ chess. But im sure if i read up on proper tactics etc i’d enjoy it much more.

The playing cards post could potentially be very epic. Or it’ll turn into how many variants of rules do we know for ring of fire/shithead etc…

@ACESandElGHTS: chess in social situations or while intoxicated can indeed be very enjoyable, providing your opponent is equally impaired and the principle of winning isn’t stressed as much as the process of making actually legal moves within the realm of snide commentary.

Zak: The playing cards are in addition to the seven games. I will return to this added value.

7 in 1 magnetic family games, with playing cards? Surely magnetic playing cards would be a right royal pain in the backside when it comes to shuffling the pack.

Awesome idea.

This is why we all love RPS: you can never know what is in store for you when you load the site (or open your RSS feed reader).

God, hasbro has officially sold out
I see no reason why Backgammon couldn’t have just been an expansion pack for chess!

Props to anyone that can play chess and enjoy it. Fucking game. Frustration in a box.

Backgammon? Dominoes? Now there are games designed for gambling/drinking/socializing…
