Thought I'd start a thread for people to add board/ card games that they own and would be will g to bring with them to LAN.
Itd be good if they would also be willing to show others how to play them.

My collection:

Forbidden Island (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/652 ... den-island)

Exploding Kittens (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/172 ... ng-kittens)

Munchkin Cthulhu (plus the first two expansions) (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/250 ... in-cthulhu)

Munchkin Fu (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6607/munchkin-fu)

Munchkin Quest (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/296 ... hkin-quest)
This one might not be so suitable for LAN as it can take a few hours under some cirumstances.

Pandemic (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic)

Zombies!!! (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2471/zombies)

EDIT:
King of Tokyo (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/70323/king-tokyo)

King of New York (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/160499/king-new-york)

Myself and Panda have the following. Each is linked to a video where the game is summarised, explained and/or played.

Munchkin 3-6 players, 1+ hour play time. Each player starts at level 1 and the winner is the first player to reach level 10. Players can acquire familiar RPG style character classes during the game which determine to some extent the cards they can play. Help and hinder each other at every step of the way, to secure treasure and experience on your way to victory!

Secret Hitler 5-10 players, 30+ minute play time. Each player is randomly and secretly assigned to be a liberal or a fascist, and one player is Secret Hitler. The fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader; the liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it's too late. The liberal team always has a majority.

Battlestar Galactica 3-6 players, 2+ hour play time. Based upon the TV show. Each playable character has their own abilities and weaknesses, and must all work together in order for humanity to have any hope of survival. However, one or more players in every game secretly side with the Cylons. Players must attempt to expose the traitor while fuel shortages, food contaminations, and political unrest threatens to tear the fleet apart. Think Secret Hitler plus a whole board game

XCOM 2-4 players, 1.5+ hour play time. Based on the XCOM game series. Assume the roles of the leaders of the elite, international organization known as XCOM. It is your job to defend humanity, quell the rising panic, and turn back the alien invasion. One of the more notable aspects of XCOM: The Board Game is the way that it incorporates a free and innovative digital app into the core of its gameplay.

I'll sticky this thread. If we see a lot of card game traffic on the forums, we can look at a sub forum for you to populate :)

I hope to own-and-offer Lab Wars if it makes its Kickstarter goal!

Happy to provide any and all, then there are tabletop simulator mods :)
