Welcome to one of the oldest board game communities on the Internet. That may sound like hyperbole but it really is true.
We are really happy to have you here. Unfortunately, being online we can't bond with you over a game so you'd know right away how happy we are to meet you. For now, you'll just have to take our word for it.
This site has always thrived on lively discussion and spirited but civil debate. We hope that newcomers here will find a welcoming atmosphere where game enthusiasts of all levels of experience and commitment will have something to add to the conversation. You never need to prove your “gamer cred” here. Whether you have been playing board games for a few months or a few decades; whether you have a huge collection or a small one; whether you have been a member here for years or just joined today – your opinion is valued here.
We know that it can be intimidating to jump into a new community and want to assure you that this is NOT the kind of forum where people will tell you that you posted something in the wrong place, or that you should have found an existing thread on the topic, or that you shouldn’t have resurrected an old thread.
So if you find a thread or an article discussion that interests you, whether it is old or new, feel free to jump in. Want to discuss a specific game or board gaming related topic just start a new topic. If you don’t know which forum to put it in, just make your best guess (we really don’t care all that much. It’s easy enough for a moderator to move it or merge it, if necessary).
A good place to get started is by introducing yourself in the “New Members Introduce Yourself” thread (below) or by telling us what you have been playing in the “What BOARD GAME(s) have you been playing?" thread ( therewillbe.games/forum/35-mos-eisley-ca...ave-you-been-playing ).
Have fun, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Hello everyone -
Long time lurker, but frequent visitor!
Reading these forums makes me feel very much at home and among friends. Probably because my usual gamer buddies all like the harass and have a good time playing games. We usually can make the roughest/silliest game enjoyable with a few good beers and some good laughs. That's pretty much the best kind of gaming anyway, among good people!
I started with stuff like Heroquest and GW games...I love games with lots of "stuff" but I like more simpler games too where its more about the company. One example - anything dexterity based. My brother in law cant flick to save his life, so its always a good time fetching discs off the kitchen floor. Pitchcar, Catacombs...now Ascending Empires...haha
Been working on being less of a collector and more of a player. The discussions here are always a welcome compliment to TOS since there is much more of a critical eye given to games. Not every new game is as awesome as it seems, so its good to have a place where games go through a more thoughtful examination by like-minded people.
I'm usually up for anything that is thematic, random, chaotic or a combination of those 3 things. If a game lets me go off on a tangent, that's awesome...I don't like the game dictating things. If I want to play sub-optimally and be a royal pain then I'm totally doing that to experiment. Exploring and learning new things in a game is always enjoyable. I may only score a few points or come in dead last, but if it creates a fun story or narrative I would do it every time
Also a fairly active 360 player so appreciate reading feedback on new games too. I wear my Ameritrash badge with pride
Look forward to chatting more with folks and my continued lurking, haha
