Bronco, I played that game a lot as a teenager, into my twenties. Good memories, and would love to play now. Time is scarce, though, and that game takes a good bit of time to complete. Great game!
Tabletop games.

Does anyone play any other "pub" games other than the darts and snooker/English billiards ?

I think Axis and Allies was similar to Risk with less pieces. Not positive because I've never played Risk
The best board games, in no particular order:
- Chess
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Risk
These are the only ones worth playing that I have tried. There may be more that I can't think of.
Risk is usually 2-5 Players. There are many different versions. It relies pretty heavily on luck, as well as diplomacy with other players. Games usually take a max of 3-4 hours.
D&D requires a group of at least 2 people, but preferably 4-5, and quite a lot of preparation, as well as preferably one experience player. It requires a large time investment and you will need to set aside a few days a week to continue a campaign. It's not a game you finish in a few hours.

Look at it this way: There are two options.
1. The Ouija Board is a total bunch of hokum for superstitious nitwits.
2. This thing is the real deal and opens a portal to the other side.
Regardless of which one of those is true, I want nothing to do with the thing. My life is madness enough without adding demonic entanglements into the mix. And I don't have time to waste on hokum, since I waste so much already on chess.
I've used these things a lot. Had really strange stuff happen. I believe something is going on with them, but I'm not sure exactly what I believe.
I'm quite a skeptical person. When people say things that sound too good to be true, or very outlandish, I usually assume they are nonsense, fabricated, or that there is some other explanation. But even a person like me has to concede a certain level of skepticism when they experience something for themselves.
I've seen coins appear out of thin air, lots of them. Like the "spirits" or whatever these entities are, have fun by dropping coins. I would call anybody gullable for believing this, but I know it happened. I don't try to convince anyone and can't prove it, but it's an experience I've shared with a few others and so occasionally I tell others about it. I blame nobody for not believing it. It's undescribable to know a truth that society as a whole rejects.
Also a few other things regarding it. I sometimes hear what sounds like musical notes right by my ear, doesn't matter where I am. I know it's not in my head because I've recorded it with a microphone. I can only attribute this to the damn board, as it didn't start until after that. Mostly I don't hear it anymore.
Once I wrote down a 3 digit number and told the entity to point to it on the board, with only people who had not seen my number touching the planchette. It pointed to the right 3 numbers--this really freaked me out, because up until this point, I always thought maybe the other people were moving it.
Often, whoever you talk to using this board tells the truth, other times lies, sometimes they say vulgar things or just move the planchette around aimlessly, and you get nothing useful from it. I still don't believe in demons, and though they say they are spirits, I shouldn't assume anything. Maybe it's aliens, maybe it's invisible fairies, I don't know. Maybe it's something none of us have even considered.
And I don't believe the board is dangerous, but I reached the point where I understood that I was getting nothing out of it, except my peace of mind was being hindered from it. I would recommend you just not use the ouija board--you probably won't benefit from it in any way. But it is safe in my experience.

haha well, that's the logical perspective, given all that I said. From your perspective, I agree with you. As they say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It's just creepy pasta otherwise.

I love snooker, but around Dallas & Ft. Worth, it's very hard to find. One place used to have a table, but they got rid of it.
I'm a skeptical person.
When I played Ouija board with friends in the dark, I shut my eyes and spirits dropped loose change and pocket lint on the board while my friends snickered. And now I'm afraid of Ouija boards.
Bottom line, I want to believe.
Ok, thanks for sharing.
Wow square, that brings back good memories. I played that game as a kid :)
