Ever play any really weird board games?

I’m not entirely sure what ’‘weird’’ should be considered as, when it comes to board games. I guess board games that go outside the norm, and are barely board games, although they borrow the same concepts and formulas as traditional board games. I mean really, board games can be anything from standard boards with spaces you move on with a dice deciding your progress, all the while coming upon obstacles and whatnot, to board games based on Dungeons&Dragons where you have oodles of instructions, cards and rules.

Games like Dragon Strike, or Weapons and Warriors, where you have to trash a castle using catapults and giant crossbows.

I’ve been watching these board game reviews by this dude, James Rolfe, probably better known as The Angry Video Game Nerd. He has a board game section though, and I’ve seen some really weird stuff in them. While I’d love to try out those complex war strategy games or the fantasy themed ones, I wasn’t big on board games as a kid, and besides Monopoly, I’m certainly no savant now.

Any fans here? I’d love to hear about all the wacky and messed up board games some of you may have come across. What were they like? What was the idea behind them? Did you enjoy them or not? Did they take forever to put together? Anything goes, from weirdo concepts to strange game mechanics. Tell all! I also really want to try out the The Walking Dead board game.
