The 15 Greatest Board Games of All Time Beyond Monopoly

Most people find board games to be a boring pursuit, especially when compared with the vast array of multimedia entertainment available today. Board games actually have a ton to offer however, especially when you get beyond the board games that everyone is used to playing from childhood. Most board games (like Monopoly) we are familiar with rely far too heavily on luck instead of skill, and many have other marks against them as well, such as a far too long playing time or rulesets that make it clear from fairly early who is going to win. Here are fifteen of the greatest board games of all time; while they aren't all flawless we feel like they are vastly superior to traditional board games. Give one of them a shot next time your family or friends congregate and we think you will agree.

15. Say Anything

Published:2008
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 6,7 or 8 players
Premise: This is your chance to tell friends and family all your deep dark secrets. Well...maybe not all your secrets. Say Anything asks you questions ranging from what's the best activity for a first date to the strangest thing you ever said to your mom. Other players then place their answers face-up in a pile and place a bet on which answer you'll pick. From the makers of Wits and Wagers but with a lighter fun feel. 

14. Last Night on Earth: Zombie Game

Published:2007
Suggested Number of Players: Best with 5 players
Premise:This zombie thriller is a game for more than just zombie lovers. Last Night on Earth is essentially a survival game. Participants can play as either the "Hero" team or the "Zombie" team. The objective is for one team to complete their "scenario objective", thus defeating the opposite team. The game is designed to have a horror movie feel, and even comes with it's own soundtrack!

13. Time's Up

Published:2000
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 6 players
Premise: Time's up is a an especially good group game. Splitting up in teams, players will play 3 rounds. The first round, describe your clue with any words. Round two, players can only use one word to describe the clue and round 3 no words, only gestures. Answer as many as you can correctly in the allotted time and you win the round.

12. Dominion

Published:2008
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 3 players
Premise: Each player stars with an identical number of cards..these cards unlock your future. Your goal, to add to your land, wealth and territory by buying, selling or trading whatever you can. This game will allow you to add to your castle, buy slaves and even pick out bodies of water to add to your territory. You must claw your way past the other monarchs and be the most superior.

11. Who, What, Where

Published:2003
Suggested Number of Players:3-10, but best when played with 5-6
Premise:Who, What, Where? is a drawing board game, where other players are to guess the "who, what, and where" that the illustrator has drawn. Each player draws a card from each category and begins drawing the situation. (Johnny Cash, eating ice cream, at the bank for one oddball instance). Players will then pass their drawings, allowing the other participants to guess the who what and where! Players are awarded points for not only guessing other participants picture correctly, but when their pictures are guessed by other players. You might think initially that a lack of drawing ability might dampen the fun, but you'd be wrong.

10. Go

Published: Originated in China more than 2,500 years ago
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 2 players
Premise: Any game created from the "Analects" of Confucius has to be a challenge. 2 players take turns placing stones on a 19 x 19 grid board. The players are attempting to claim territory by walling off sections of the board and surrounding each others stones. The game doesn't end until the board fills up, or, more often, when both players agree to end it, at which time whoever controls the most territory wins. A very cerebral game that will appeal to people who also enjoy chess.

9. Pandemic

Published:2008
Suggested Number of Players:Best with 4 Players
Premise: An interesting brand of game in that it is co-operative, Pandemic is best played with 4 players. Each player can participate as one of 5 possible specialties, a dispatcher, a medic, a scientist, a researcher or an operations expert. The goal is that through a cooperative effort, the players can discover cure to four diseases before any game-losing conditions occur!

8. Apples to Apples

Published:1999
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 6,7 or 8 players
Premise: Taking two decks of cards, Things and Descriptions can lead to an evening of humor. Turn by turn the group pulls from the cards in their hand to match-up and best describe the thing. The key to winning this game, know the sense of humors of the people you are playing with. Also alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol. 

7. Steam

Published:2009
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 4 or 5 players
Premise: Based on the steel cities like Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Chicago and others you can make money quickly on the railroad. Steam is an updated version of Age of Steam, adding new twists to building your tracks and adding new enhancements to your trading and shipping deadlines. This is a cut-throat evening for the wanna be railroad tycoons in your family.

6. The Settlers of Catan

Published:1995
Suggested Number of Players:3-4
Premise:The Settlers of Catan is a multi-player board game, best suited for family play, due to the fact that no players are eliminated! The goal of the game is to score 10 victory points in one's turn. Players can collect and trade resource cards. The premise of the game is building a civilization on the island of Catan, but the game offers several opportunities for participants to take the lead. This is an excellent entry into more in depth board games. Offers lot of hilarity as you get to hear people asking if anyone has any wood for sheep.

5. Agricola

Published:2007
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 3 or 4 players
Premise: In Agricola, you are a farmer with a spouse and a mud shack...you have to build your life from there. Turn by turn you farm for crops, add to your family with children to help on the farm, or perform odd jobs. You can choose to build your own empire or destroy your neighbors.

4. Wits and Wagers

Published:2005
Suggested Number of Players:Best with 6-7, but up to 21 players
Premise:Played in seven rounds, Wits and Wagers is a numerical trivia game. One question is asked each round, and each player gives a numerical response to each trivia questions. Bets are made on the correct answer simultaneously, as well as answers being revealed at the same time. The players choose the correct answer based on the odds represented on the boards. The participant with the most chips after seven rounds wins the game. This is another one where playing a little tipsy will increase the fun factor.

3. Ca$h 'n Gun$

Published:2005
Suggested Number of Players: Best when played with 6 players
Premise: Your object is to be the richest gangsta. A gang of thieves is splitting up their loot in an abandon warehouse but like any split, there's never a fair solution. Fight your way to the most wealth, stealing, bribing and maybe flashing your guns. Game includes gun cards, wound and shame markers. Ca$h 'n Gun$ will help you live out all your mafia fantasies.

2. Puerto Rico

Published:2002
Suggested Number of Players:Best when played with 4 players
Premise: The main goal of this German game is to collect victory points by shipping goods to the "Old World" and constructing buildings. Puerto Rico, which is best played with 3-5 players, focuses on building your own properties up and allows each player to choose a different role (settler, builder, mayor, captain, craftsman, trader, or prospector). The game can end several different ways, when either there aren't enough colonists to replenish populations, when victory points have depleted, or when one player builds in all 12 spots in his city.

1. Ticket to Ride

Published:2004
Suggested Number of Players:2-5
Premise:One of the most popular new board games, Ticket to Ride is a railway-themed German style board game. Each player chooses different destination cards, thus creating their goal for the end of the game. Players attempt to connect their different destinations, collecting different cards as they go, which determine the value and longevity of each train "route". The game ends when a player exhausts all of their train pieces, although every player plays one turn afterward. The winner is determined by who has the most completed railway routes by the end. A very in depth game that is as much fun with two players as it is with the maximum of five, and although any number of these fifteen could have been our top spot we feel comfortable calling Ticket to Ride our favorite board game of all time.

Amazing Model of Futuristic City Made of Stacked Staples

Have you ever wondered about how New York or some other giant city could look in hundred years? If you have no idea about how it would look like, then, you should see the city model made by Peter Root.

Peter Root made this amazing city model using a bunch of stacked staples. He decided to call it Ephemicropolis.  As you can see, he needed a plenty of patience and time to create such magnificent model.

There is a whole ‘forest’ of buildings and skyscrapers of different size.  He made this model of city from about 100,000 staples on the surface of 18 square meters.  I really believe that, if technological development continues to grow as equal as in previous years, this model could become real, one day but I am afraid that this civilization has slowly reaching its peak.

Do It Yourself Coil Gun

Daniel Eindhoven is talented designer who created this cool coil gun. It took around 40 hours to finish this outstanding job. It weights 5 Kg and, capable of delivering over 18J kinetic energy, and speeds up to 110km/h . This weird coil gun has laser pointer for easy aiming and it costs around 100 Euros.It needs 8 seconds to fire a projectile if is connected to power source or 90 seconds with batteries. It is really impressive, I’m not a gun lover but this one is really made with creativity. You may also would like to check this Swiss mini gun, the smallest gun in the world. A coilgun, as the name implies, consists of a coil of wire – an electromagnet – with a ferromagnetic projectile placed at one of its ends. Effectively a coilgun is a solenoid: an electromagnetic coil with the function of drawing a ferromagnetic object through its center. A large current is pulsed through the coil of wire and a strong magnetic field forms, pulling the projectile to the center of the coil. When the projectile nears this point the electromagnet is switched off and the next electromagnet can be switched on, progressively accelerating the projectile down successive stages. In common coilgun designs the “barrel” of the gun is made up of a track that the projectile rides on, with the driver electromagnetic coils around the track. Power is supplied to the electromagnet from some sort of fast discharge storage device, typically a battery or high-capacity high voltage capacitors designed for fast energy discharge. A diode is used to protect polarity sensitive capacitors (such as electrolytics) from damage due to inverse polarity of the current after the discharge.

There are two main types or setups of a coilgun, single stage and multistage. A single stage coilgun uses just one electromagnet to propel a ferromagnetic projectile. A multistage coilgun uses multiple electromagnets in succession to progressively increase the speed of the projectile. Many hobbyists use low-cost rudimentary designs to experiment with coilguns, for example using photoflash capacitors from a disposable camera, or a capacitor from a standard cathode-ray tube television as the energy source, and a low inductance coil to propel the projectile forward. A superconductor coilgun called a quench gun could be created by successively quenching a line of adjacent coaxial superconducting electromagnetic coils forming a gun barrel, generating a wave of magnetic field gradient traveling at any desired speed. A traveling superconducting coil might be made to ride this wave like a surfboard. The device would be a mass driver or linear synchronous motor with the propulsion energy stored directly in the drive coils.

One main obstacle in coilgun design is switching the power through the coils. There are several main options — the simplest (and probably least effective) is the spark gap, which releases the stored energy through the coil when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. A better option is to use solid-state switches; these include IGBTs or power MOSFETs (which can be switched off mid-pulse) and SCRs (which release all stored energy before turning off). A quick-and-dirty method for switching, especially for those using a flash camera for the main components, is to use the flash tube itself as a switch. By wiring it in series with the coil, it can silently and non-destructively (assuming that the energy in the capacitor is kept below the tube’s safe operating limits) allow a large amount of current to pass through to the coil. Like any flash tube, ionizing the gas in the tube with a high voltage triggers it. However, a large amount of the energy will be dissipated as heat and light, and, due to the tube being a spark gap, the tube will stop conducting once the voltage across it drops sufficiently, leaving some charge remaining on the capacitor.

The coil gun first appeared in literature as the “electric gun” in the 1897 science fiction novel A Trip to Venus by John Munro. The novel described in detail a way to launch vehicles into outer space from the Earth’s surface. In the novel, Munro describes in great detail multiple coils fired in sequence by solenoids timed to achieve acceleration without generating g forces that would harm passengers. The gun could be angled on a hillside if desired.

10 Deadliest Shipwrecks in History

 There is a romantic element to the disaster of a shipwreck that is associated with no other form of transport. It may be that the ethos of 'women and children first' – established by the brave men of the HMS Birkenhead in 1852 – who, realizing that there were too few lifeboats for everybody, sacrificed themselves to save the most vulnerable. 460 heroes died that day, but this was a small number in maritime history. What's more, while RMS Titanic may be the most notorious shipwreck on record, but it is by no means the worst.

10. SS Eastland

 SS Eastland was a passenger ship based in Chicago. In 1915 the vessel was chartered for a works outing to Michigan City, Indiana. Filled to capacity, the ship suddenly turned turtle in just 20 feet of water, apparently after a majority of the more than 2,700 passengers had assembled on one side. Part of the blame had to be new safety legislation, as the vessel was slightly top-heavy following the fitting of additional lifeboats to meet the new rules. As the ship rolled, hundreds became trapped or crushed by heavy furniture moving around inside the public areas and 845 poor people died.

9. MS Estonia

 This ferry was in its sixteenth year of use when things went disastrously wrong on a crossing of the Baltic sea in 1994. It transpired that the massive bow doors of the ship had not been closed properly so that it had been shipping water from the time it left port. As more poured into the ship, it began to list. Evacuation orders were issued just as the list to starboard steepened dramatically. Loss of power stopped the crew from making meaningful broadcasts for help. Of the 989 passengers and crew, 852 lost their lives.

8. MV Wilhelm Gustloff

 This disastrous sinking is almost unknown to most people, possibly because it happened in wartime. The MV Wilhelm Gustloff sank in January 1945, having been torpedoed by a Soviet S-13 submarine. A former hospital ship, it had been refitted as a floating barracks for German Kriegsmarine personnel stationed near Gdansk. During its final voyage evacuating civilians and troops – who would almost certainly otherwise have been captured by the Red Army – the ship was hit by three Russian torpedoes and sank in less than 45 minutes. Around 1,000 men died.

7. RMS Empress of Ireland

 The Empress was an ocean liner built on the Clyde in Scotland in 1906. She left Quebec City in 1914, bound for Liverpool and carrying almost 1,500 people in total. On the next day, this unfortunate vessel was hit by a Norwegian ship laden with coal. The liner was so badly damaged that she rolled over to sink in just 14 minutes. Among the 1,012 dead were 279 women and 134 children. Amazingly, one survivor was a fireman who had already survived the sinking of the Titanic.

6. The General Slocum Paddle Steamer

 General Slocum was chartered on June 15 1904, setting off in the morning with 1,300 passengers. A fire broke out soon after departure, but Captain Van Schaick did not find out about it soon enough. No maintenance had been done on the ship's safety equipment. Fire hoses fell apart and lifeboats were tied up and out of reach. Life preservers, manufactured in 1891 and hung above the deck, unprotected from the elements for thirteen years, proved useless and fell apart in the passengers' hands. Most on board were women and children who could not swim; even victims who did not don the worthless life preservers found that their heavy wool clothing weighed them down in the water. The captain decided to continue his course rather than run the ship aground or stop at a nearby landing, unaware that, by going into headwinds, he actually fanned the fire. Inflammable paint also helped the fire to spread out of control. Some passengers jumped into the river, but many died being mauled by the still-turning paddles as they attempted to escape into the water or over the sides. By the time the ailing ship was beached just off the Bronx shoreline, an estimated 1,021 people had been killed by fire or drowning, with only 321 surviving the horror.

5. RMS Titanic

 The most famous wreck in history, and the most romanticised, the White Star Line's flagship Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world when launched from Belfast in 1912. On the night of 14 April that year, on her maiden voyage, she struck an iceberg and sank after two hours and 40 minutes. A final tally of 1,517 dead made it one of the worst ever maritime disasters, and one of the most notorious, in part because her owners had advertised the glamorous vessel as being "designed to be unsinkable". The public fascination which followed the sinking has never really abated.

4. MV Doña Paz

 After colliding with an oil tanker in December 1987, this passenger ferry quickly sank while en route to Manila from Samar Island in the Philippines. The tanker, Vector, had been carrying thousands of barrels of volatile hydrocarbons, and once these had ignited, killing most on board, the ensuing fire quickly spread to the ferry. The official death toll is put at 1,565 although numerous reports attest to the vessel being seriously overcrowded and suggest the true death toll was 4,375. If so this would make it the world's worst ferry disaster as well as the most lethal peacetime maritime disaster in history.

3. SS Sultana

 The loss, in April 1865, of the SS Sultana, a classic Mississippi steamer, resulted from an on-board explosion about eight miles north of Memphis, Tennessee. Many of the 1,800 dead were former Civil War soldiers being returned home, but the event was somewhat overshadowed by the recent and shocking assassination of President Lincoln. Despite the resulting fire illuminating the sky for miles around, it received relatively little coverage outside the local area.

2. Halifax Harbour Explosion

 In early December 1917 French cargo ship SS Mont Blanc, fully laden with ammunition, collided with the Norwegian ship SS Imo – causing a massive explosion which devastated the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. 2,000 people were killed and a further 9,000 injured by fires and flying debris, most of them Canadians. The blast flattened an estimated two square kilometres of buildings along the shoreline while creating an artificial tidal wave (which inflicted further damage on the settlements of Richmond and Dartmouth) and a pressure wave which toppled scores of trees.

1. SS Kiangya

In 1948 this Chinese steamship, carrying up to 5,000 passengers, exploded and sank in the Huangpu River, close to Shanghai. The fatal explosion was almost certainly the result of hitting an Imperial Japanese Naval mine left over from WWII. The exact death toll remains unknown, but is believed to be around 3,900, even though many survivors were pulled from the water. Many of the victims were refugees from the Chinese Civil War. The manifest listed 2,150 passengers – despite an official capacity limit of 1,186 – but she was also carrying several hundred crew and almost certainly stowaways too.

These were undoubtedly terrible tragedies, thousands of lives lost to the merciless oceans as ships came to grief. Yet just because one shipwreck achieves notoriety, it does not mean that it is the worst ever recorded, more that the immediacy of the event makes it so memorable. The sea is indeed a harsh mistress and I hope never to have first-hand experience of just how cruel it can be.
