    Default Best Boardgames for the Pub?

    How do?

    As per the title, can anyone recommend some fun Boardgames you could play in a pub - so perhaps 3 hours max play time?

    Met the inventor and had a good chat abut it. Fun game simple to learn and been in a pub with it playing tournaments of it before now.

    Anything laminated, or at least in card sleeves. Otherwise your game is going to get very sticky.

    If you include card games, there's a good selection we've played at a local restaurant after the GW store closes (with the restaurant about as well lit as a pub):

    40K Conquest (of course)
    Blood Bowl Team Manager
    Warhammer Disc Wars
    Superfight
    We Didn't Playtest This At All
    Cards Against Humanity
    Tragedy Looper
    Munchkin
    Cheaty Mages
    Sentinels of the Multiverse
    Red Dragon Inn (and its sequels and additions)
    Boss Monster
    Cards Against Humanity
    Cutthroat Caverns
    Warmachine High Command
    Warhammer Invasion

    All of those are fun and can be played in 3 hours or less. Some of them are really fast (like We Didn't Playtest This At All), so you can play multiple rounds, or even play between other stuff.

    Lords of War is worth checking out, loads of fun, like a little wargame but with cards

    Do you mean boardgames in a wargames sense or traditional boardgames? What about Ludo (Uckers) where if you take someone's piece, they have to down a shot?

    Same with drafts/chess.

    Just stuff that can be played successfully, even when a bit squiffy.
