When I used to play regularly, 40K was my go to game. Now a days I don't play much of anything.

Nothing GW since last Summer...
Now it's;
Kings of War or
Bolt Action
I know I made the right decision changing from GW stuff as my wife actually asks me to play KoW or BA - she always had to be coaxed into playing WFB or 40K.
With slightly less wargamey pals, it's Frostgrave or Zombicide.
|
Currently most played: Silent Death, Mars Code Aurora, Battletech, Warcrow and Infinity. |

Bolt-action, any of the warlord games rule sets are pretty good really.
Warhammer (40k and fantasy), even with the wonky rules, I enjoy 40k. Yeah there are some balance problems, yeah some rules are broken, but in a normal game, most people won't abuse those, so you don't bump into them as often. fantasy, I loved, the setting, the models, most of the rules. AoS has some similarities, mainly the models, the change just did a lot of damage for me, having played 7 or 8 games of AoS.

I'll never be able to repay CA for making GW realize that The Old World was a cash cow, left to die in a field. |

WMH is my favorite atm.
I used to play 40k in tourneys. But no longer. We just play apoc games once per month, 5000 pts per player.
AoS is something I consider. The Fantasy side here was dead. Now players start undusting their armies.

Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?
|
I always enjoy 40k on the occasions I get to play it. It has its issues, but for playing with friends and for spectacle, its hard to top.
KoW is always good, as is LotR for skirmishes.
Another one that's more of a board game is the D&D adventure system games. For when you can't/don't want to set up a full D&D campaign, the pre-generated characters, self-running Dungeons and pared-back rules so simple you could train apes to play, it is great fun for an evening or afternoon of hack'n'slash action, and being co-op for up to five players, it's great for non-gaming family and friends as you're helping them along rather than tying to beat them. It's also easy to change the difficulty, just add more healing surges if it gets to hard.

Games I really want to get going that seem like they'll be awesome fun (may have played not at all or a few times): X-Wing, Bolt Action, Incursion

I really enjoy the story-crafting that goes on with an Inquisitor game, so that's my go to when I want something chill without too much intensity.
WarmaHordes for when I want the excitement of real competition and such.

I've gotten into Warmachine pretty hard the last four of five months so that's my go to game right now.

As subjective as this is, I think Magic and Malifaux are just the best games in their respective categories.

Thanks all!
The diversity is great.
I am tempted with Zombicide now.
Drop Zone Commander interest is piqued.
I still have all my original release Necromunda stuff so I understand you other guys.
Subjective statements are great, not looking for "the best" just what is the happy place go-to.

A card game called "Hex Hex" is one of my favourites to kill an hour or two. We still enjoy Cranium. Carcassone is a crowd favourite. Lunch Money is good times. Blood Bowl is great for one-on-one, and the minis for an "army" can be painted in a week, if you try. Cards against Humanity is fun, but more of a pass-time than a game. I can't believe that Euchre hasn't come up. I mean, there's no more, "If this bus is gonna crash, I'm gonna be driving!" game. Low-stakes Poker can be fun, assuming no-one will be upset over losing $5. If you can find it, Shadowlord was a game I remember from way-back, that I had fun playing. Oh, and from waaaay back... Nightmare. The video board game. "Yes, my Gatekeeper!"
