Honorable “not pure strategy or chance”
- Monopoly: This game was designed to teach people that once a player gets an advantage there is no coming back and there is nothing to do, and people still play it for fun.
- Mario Party: You either love it or hate it.
Technically, pure chance games are not games and I’m to lazy to cite this.
Strategy I like:
Stratego. I just have a knack for this one and play it to death.

Chinese Go.
Motherfuggen SCRABBLE!
Chance I like: Buckshot Roulette
Chance I dislike: slots and other trash tier gambling games designed to make you lose more than gain.
Dislike strategy: I can’t get into Chess. I don’t know if Aphantasia is hampering my abilities here. I didn’t try long enough to really know yet so it’s just more of a bad first impressions grudge. Maybe one day I’ll meet a friend who likes Chess.
Twilight Imperium has a 180-240 min playing time, Jesus Christ!
That was the case for me aswell, it felt too complicated and slow. But when you understand the game and calculate into the future it gets very satisfying.
lmao just setting up the initial board game and reading through the rules took an entire meet-up session back when we started playing. It’s fairly daunting. Definitely had a bunch of rule violations the first round just figuring it out, improved from there haha. When you play with a full 6 players it can take longer than 4 hours to complete sometimes.
Makes sense, it’s just hard to motivate myself on my own to learn.
I love me some Stratigo.
