Quiz: which board game are you?

Posted on by

Fact is, I loathe bored games. I dropped an entire group of friends because the only time they get together is to play bored games, and if there’s one thing I detest it’s getting 20 minutes into a strategy in an unfamiliar situation when suddenly someone says, “Oh, did I forget to tell you? Clovers are trumps!” or whatever. Sure, most murders have alcohol as a motivating factor, but I’m inclined to believe that bored games are #2 and closing.

Nonetheless, this result does make sense. Just ask my boss:


You Are Boggle


You are an incredibly creative and resourceful person.

You’re able to dig deep and think outside the box to get things done.

You are a non linear thinker. You don’t like following directions

You draw your inspiration from the strangest places sometimes. You’re constantly inspired.

  3. You Are Chess

    You are brilliant and shrewd. You can often predict what people will do in the future.
    You thrive in complex situations. You deal with contradictions well.
    You can have many streams of though going on at your mind at once. You keep track of things well.
    You are very patient. You have lots of endurance, even when your energy dwindles

    “Brilliant.” Obviously this quiz was made for me.

  4. “streams of though”?

    First time I was Chess, second time I was Boggle. I wanted to be Scrabble!!!

    Or at least, I think I did. What was the Scrabble description, Silverstar?

  8. Here’s the description for Scrabble:

    You are incredibly clever and witty. You can talk your way out of (and into) situations easily.
    You are an excellent decision maker. You are good at weighing the options in front of you.
    You’re the type of person who can make something out of nothing. You are very resourceful.
    You know a lot of things. Most importantly, you know when people are wrong – even when they won’t admit it.

  14. I too am Boggle – which I have never played. Of course when I read your lede I knew we were in total agreement on the board game issue. I once filled in for someone who’d left a game of Trivial Pursuit (in other words, I was doing the rest of the folks playing a favour), only to have a woman we used to call Fluffy say to me, “Funny you can answer all the questions but you can’t master the mechanics of the game [i.e. remember how many spaces there are between each coloured segment of the Trivial Pursuit pie].”

    I was so relieved when someone finally explained to me that Scrabble was a spatial game, not really one that had anything to do with one’s vocabulary or communications skills.

  16. I’m Checkers too:

    You are very logical and rational. You are able to understand what is and isn’t a factor.
    You’re able to compartmentalize and focus on the essentials.
    You appreciate simplicity. You can see the layers of complexity and beauty in anything.
    You are also playful and good natured. You don’t take life too seriously!

    I guess there was no game for You’re a lazy slug.

  17. I can see Checkers for each of you.

    I once got offered a tutoring job because I could answer all the questions in Trivial Pursuit. Personally, I think standards for teachers should be a little higher, don’t you?

  18. You Are Chinese Checkers
    You live a hyper, fast paced life. You rarely ever slow down.
    You are good at juggling many things at once. You are the ultimate multi-tasker.

    You enjoy being in a group – in fact the bigger the group, the better.
    You are an enthusiastic competitor, and you can be a little ruthless when you play games.

    what the… ? i don’t even remember how to play the game! so much for being chinese, lol.
