Competition: Win with Exclusive Books and National Board Games Day. 9 Hampers Each Worth Over R1000 Up for Grabs

Boardgames-Design-06

Exclusive Books is giving away 10 prizes including 9 Board Game Hampers each worth over R1000 for National Board Game Day.

To stand a chance to win, enter the competition online by answering the following question in the thread below:

Q. What is your favourite board game?

Competition closes 10am 20th of June

Settlers of Catan is now available at selected Exclusive Books stores nationwide.

Due to the random layout of the board, this game will be different virtually every time you play. Embark on a quest to settle on the isle of Catan! Guide your settlers to victory by clever trading and cunning development. Use resource combinations of grain, wool, ore, brick and lumber to buy development cards and build roads, settlements and cities. Acquire resources through trade or lucky dice, but BEWARE! Someone may cut off your road or buy a monopoly card, and you never know when the robber might steal away your precious gains!

Expand your Settlers Games to include more players and more scenarios. More Tiles, more resource cards, more development cards, and components (settlements, villages, roads), for two additional players.

This is an expansion of the base Settlers of Catan board game. Expand your Settlers of Catan game in new directions, add Islands, Pirates, Gold, Ships, Islands and Trade.

Explore and colonize the newly populated Archipelago of Catan. Building settlements, roads, and villages by trading commodities from the land and islands around you. Trade sheep and wood for a ship, bricks and wood for a road, build new settlements and improve settlements into cities.

    Carcassonne is definitely one of my favourites. Quick to learn, quick to play and you’re never quite sure who’s going to win till the final count.

  2. Lauren Kruger June 13th, 2012 at 11:05 am #

    Careers is one of my favourite board games, but I was always the only one who wanted to play it. :)

  36. AJ Nel June 13th, 2012 at 11:25 am #

    Difficult to say. If we’re group of friends then 30 seconds is the best. But if its me and the girlfriend relaxing in front of the fireplace then I would say Scrabble or WordUp. Lastly if its me and the toddlers its anything from a unique version of Monopoly to Ludo.

  37. Mabel June 13th, 2012 at 11:26 am #

  40. Henk Pepler June 13th, 2012 at 11:30 am #

    Oh definitely 30 seconds – game for the whole family (think December holidays camping or at the beach); or a great drinking game with friends; or we sometimes just use the cards to test our general knowledge without even playing the game…

  41. liezel June 13th, 2012 at 11:30 am #

    Monopoly

  42. Bronwyn June 13th, 2012 at 11:31 am #

    Scrabble. Absolutely love it. Am a word freak and I guess it’s a game you can enjoy with both family and friends. It also stimulates the brain and get’s you thinking.

    30 seconds, but I managed to combine two loves of mine – 30 seconds & Cluedo – to make a game where a group of medical students tried to solve a real psychiatric patient case. Making learning fun!

  57. Arthur Rushmer June 13th, 2012 at 11:48 am #

    Risk is probably my favourite, but Cluedo is also high on the list and I used to love the Clive Rice Cricket game as a kid too!

  58. Werner June 13th, 2012 at 11:50 am #

    Hands down 30 Seconds! Always caused a lot of laughs playing this at a party. 😀

    Why has no one said Cluedo? We had a blast dressing up as the characters one night and solving the mystery game – I was Mrs White, the mansion’s maid. We played the theme song to ‘Murder She Wrote on repeat in the background.

  78. Arusha June 13th, 2012 at 12:11 pm #

    30 Seconds..it’s amazing how the human mind works and assimilates information!

  79. Annalize MacDonald June 13th, 2012 at 12:20 pm #

    I can’t choose one :( But if I absolutely have to it would be 30 Seconds! Scrabble and Monopoly tie in second place :)

    Definitely Settlers of Catan, we play every week.

  153. samantha June 14th, 2012 at 6:49 am #

    Cranium is amazing because it combines 4 games into one!

  154. Anya June 14th, 2012 at 6:52 am #

    There’s a totally silly game called Munchkin that I absolutely adore, but no one knows it here so I never get to play. I also love 30 Seconds, but I’ll admit I get a liiiiittle over-competitive sometimes;-) The best game ever is Jeffrey Archer though, which is something my friend invented that combines 30 Seconds, Taboo, and Pictionary into one game!

  155. Tarryn Scales June 14th, 2012 at 6:56 am #

    Risk has to be my favourite! We always take it on holiday with us because it’s a really good game to play with the family. My dad is an ex SAS and Selous Scouts man so it’s the one game he really gets into and it’s awesome to play with him. It’s challenging and different every time. Plus, you know, who doesn’t want to take over the world 😉

  156. Gregory Young June 14th, 2012 at 7:13 am #

    My favourite is a very old board game called Poleconomy which I don’t think most people would have heard of. My second favourite would be 30 seconds.

    Settlers! I’ve only started playing it recently but it wins hands down, fantastic entertainment with real strategy. Looking forwards to playing the expansions/extensions of Settlers. Would love to try Game of Thrones too!

    30 seconds!

  164. Ronia Behanan June 14th, 2012 at 7:23 am #

    30 Seconds at a party, Settlers when there’re four of us!

  165. wesley June 14th, 2012 at 7:26 am #

    It has to be the old classic Monopoly. My family still plays after all these years.

  166. Yusuf June 14th, 2012 at 7:27 am #

    Balderdash without a doubt :)
    It brings the family together and we stay up until the wee hours of the morning playing this game>

    Also great to build your vocabulary and see what others come up with to define a particular word

  167. Suritha Aucamp June 14th, 2012 at 7:29 am #

  171. Anandi June 14th, 2012 at 7:41 am #

    Cluedo, because it’s the one game where no-one can ever beat me, no matter how hard they try! :)

  172. Brandon June 14th, 2012 at 8:02 am #

    Any board game is my favourite but if I have to choose one it would be “Cluedo”

  173. Johann June 14th, 2012 at 8:05 am #

    Risk: Star Wars, The Clone Wars Edition. It brings the best of both worlds together.

  174. Rosella Gokhul June 14th, 2012 at 8:09 am #

    30 seconds

  175. Laurelle Jarvis June 14th, 2012 at 8:10 am #

    I don’t have one favourite, I have a few: monopoly, scrabble, Stampede and Chinese checkers. I really enjoy watching 30 seconds being played.

    30 seconds and monopoly

  180. Chicara June 14th, 2012 at 8:46 am #

    Cluedo! It was Miss Scarlet in the Billiard Room room with the Lead Pipe. :)

  181. Bella Visser June 14th, 2012 at 8:48 am #

    Wow, do I really have to choose one??? I guess it very much depends on the day and my mood at that time because it varies….. when I was younger I would do anything to rope family and friends in to play Monopoly with me all day and night and then I’ve gone through a Risk phase also where I was totally addicted, but I guess my go-to feel-good all time favourite would be 30 Seconds, it always has me in stitches and is the best thing to get a party going!! I was fortunate to be brought up playing board games from a young age and when I have kids I will make sure they are too!!

  182. Andrew Sutherland June 14th, 2012 at 8:54 am #

    Smallworld, Isla Dorada & Fortune and Glory are my favourites at the moment.

  183. Tamara Jeunette June 14th, 2012 at 8:59 am #

  188. Samantha Schwarer June 14th, 2012 at 9:19 am #

    Settlers of Catan is hands-down my favourite board game ever. I have been playing it since friends brought a German version back from Canada 15 years ago, and I still love it. So excited that I can now buy it from Exclusives when I want to gift friends!

  189. Lishya June 14th, 2012 at 9:28 am #

    Scrabble :)

  190. Chantal van Eeden June 14th, 2012 at 9:32 am #

    Catan! I have the Seafairers and Barbarian expansions. I’m a boardgame geek and this game is top of my list as no game has ever been the same with the changing odds and layout, different scenarios ensure that it nevers gets boring and best of all..it involves each player every turn. :)

  191. Vaughan Braddon June 14th, 2012 at 9:32 am #

    So many to choose from.

    I’m a Monopoly fan, but no one ever wants to play against me because I always win. 😉

    The entries to this competition make me sad – it’s clear that most of us are unaware that there is a whole world of board games beyond the likes of Monopoly and Scrabble. Try boardgamegeek.com for some enlightenment. :-)

    My favourite board game is Agricola.

    I have played over fifty games of Settlers of Catan and its still great after all this time.

    I am really happy people are discovering the joys of board gaming!

  229. Lorien Amy June 15th, 2012 at 8:38 am #

    30 seconds. I love the competition between teams.

  230. Stephen Friedman June 15th, 2012 at 2:49 pm #

    Setters of Catan is by far my favourite, it got me playing great games like Ticket to Ride, Puerto Rico and Thunderstone

  231. Fathima Khan June 16th, 2012 at 5:50 pm #

    Defnitely scrabble. I also played balderdash @ a friends house……..this game is incredible fun

  236. Daniela Cardoso June 16th, 2012 at 11:42 pm #

    Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, 30 seconds…gotta be the best of them all!

  237. Roslyn Maree June 17th, 2012 at 9:23 am #

    Toss up between Balderdash and 30 Seconds, depending on the company of course!

  238. Nicola Taylor June 18th, 2012 at 7:10 am #

    It’s really difficult to choose. Among my favourites are “Settlers of Catan”, “Trivial Pursuit” and “30 Seconds” but if I have to choose only one, I will have to go back to my fave childhood board game – “Cluedo”! Who can resist a good whodunnit game? Professor Plum with the candlestick in the Conservatory, I say!

  239. Thandi June 19th, 2012 at 11:04 am #

    30 Seconds!!!! :)

  240. Aubrey Muvhango June 19th, 2012 at 11:04 am #

    My Favorite is 30 Seconds by far!!

  242. Dominique June 19th, 2012 at 11:05 am #

    Yahtzee and 30 Seconds!

  243. Tammy February June 19th, 2012 at 11:05 am #

    Difficult one to decide on, but it would probably be a toss up between Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit and 30 Seconds.

  244. Nicola Landsberg June 19th, 2012 at 11:06 am #

    Cluedo!!! What fun!!!

    Pictionary and Balderdash are still the faves!

  248. Stefan June 19th, 2012 at 11:09 am #

    I personally prefer Risk. I feel that my German heritage naturally predisposes me to total military conquest of the known world.

  249. Jill Mullen June 19th, 2012 at 11:10 am #

    would have to say Trivial Pursuit :)

  250. Justine Machin June 19th, 2012 at 11:10 am #

  256. Jannie Theron June 19th, 2012 at 11:16 am #

    My Lord of the Rings RISK is awesome.

    And when in a more chilled mood 30 seconds is great fun

  257. Linnet Crow June 19th, 2012 at 11:16 am #

    Scrabble

  289. Klea June 19th, 2012 at 1:11 pm #

    For a family game Cranium, but for an intense nerding out evening with my fellow geeks it would be Arkham Asylum <3

  290. jarrod lane June 19th, 2012 at 1:15 pm #

    Risk I love, but difficult to get players. :/ Catan is another fun one.

  291. Mbonyiwe Phiri June 19th, 2012 at 1:32 pm #

    Monopoly

  292. Ronnelle June 19th, 2012 at 1:52 pm #

    30 seconds is absolutely the best. Especially the kids version. Has my kids answering all the ‘brainy’ questions in their class!

  293. Julie June 19th, 2012 at 1:59 pm #

    30 Seconds is always fun (especially if you know your team member/s really well). I also really enjoy Balderdash, although I wish it wasn’t so difficult to get hold of here in SA! Maybe Exclus1ves can help…?

  294. G Brown June 19th, 2012 at 2:06 pm #

    Must be Monopoly!

  302. Francois June 19th, 2012 at 8:14 pm #

    Monopoly. And then 30 seconds junior. Because I suck at normal 30 seconds.

  303. Chris van Wyk June 19th, 2012 at 9:28 pm #

    Any board game that allows for 2 or more people to sit down and have fun. Though I can recommend games like “A Game of Thrones” and “Battlestar Galactica” for a good thematic experience and “Ticket to Ride” and “Catan” for family fun. “Thunderstone” for card deck building and if you are into conflict look at “Memoir 44” or “Tide of Iron”. More info on these at http://www.boardgamegeek.com/
