¿Question #1806?
sdownin: In the event of a natural catastrophe, where you had to pack up and evacuate your home quickly with a good chance that anything you left behind would never be usable again, what games, if any, would make it into your single car load of vital necessities?

Spirit of 70: City of Chaos, Magic Realm, Arkham Horror, Rune Wars, Claustrophobia, Glory to Rome, and Arimaa.
aleo09: not sure.
LouisVilenge: Chess and a standard cardgame (for Bridge, Poker etc.) perhaps Command & Colors: Ancients
Kamikazi: 'Divine Right' and 'Web and Starship'. All of my other games are fairly easy to replace.
YearoftheCat:
pooterbug: Roborally, but the others could be easily replaced. I would want pictures and sentimental items first.
RustanR: Through the Ages
cgund: I can't believe there are any answers other than "none".
AgentQ: Hmm... Power Grid, Last Night on Earth, Ten Days in Africa. But the joke's on YOU; I keep those in my car anyway!
Junichirou: Arkham Horror. Patton's Best. B-17: Queen of the Skies. Actually, I'd take as many as I could, who needs clothes?
MrHen: I would bring my dice, my counters, a few decks of cards, a chess board, and from then on whatever I placed in my top 10.
vlmarshall: Battletech
Impr3ssion: magic realm, certainly.
DHEK: I'll bring along my Catan and Alhambra games, because they're small. The rest I'll only bring if there's any more space.
wargamer66: chess set + chronos clock
irratejon: All the modern hypotheticals
Nazhuret: none
mcross: Caylus, Puerto Rico, Goa, Princes of Florence, and anything else I had time/room for
ZiggyZambo: Just a deck of cards.
Lothartvni: Probably all of them, I have a van, plenty of room.
Sigisgrim: Probably none, they can mostly be bought again if necessary, but if any then the ones near the door!
pellitieri: T2R, Alhambra, Wizards, Source of the Nile, PiecePak.
greglios: No game is important enough to be worth wasting the time and effort in a situation like that.
Russ G.: Too busy herding cats. Or grabbing my signed Roger Zalazny Amber series books.
falloutfan: I own much, but here you go, in order of importance: Bible; journals; computer backups; memory box; computer; games.
vampywife: It would be a hard decision, but I would base it on how I felt as I was packing. Sometimes I'm in the mood for some games and not others.
XenoMaster: I keep all my games in my trunk in case I need them
Melantha: Tales of the Arabian Nights, Alhambra (with expansions), Jambo,and a bunch of small card games.
mergryphon: Travel Blokus, Fluxx, Cosmic Wimpout Deluxe. Original 1st Edition Trivial Pursuit.
WatchmanX2000: all my bulge games. anything I could fit beyond that.
kroxldyphivc: Can always rebuy the ones I wanna play again.
Pirate Penguin: I'd say Twilight Imperium: 3rd edition, but it won't fit in my subaru.
Helenoftroy: plunder
ctalbot: I'm sure I could fit 'em all if I tried real hard.
Karlsen: EON Cosmic Encounter, T&E, Peurto Rico, Power Grid...
chillrunr: My Dark Tower. I mean, how would I ever get another one?

Loquutus: Kremlin.
Odat: M
darthcliff: Not a damn one!

Tushratta: Munchkin
consolewa: Ticket To Ride, Lord of the Rings, War of the Ring, Go
bjonenplota: Roads and boats and Power Grid
Null Signature: Mutant Chronicles:SOTC...if i had it >_<
Randy Cox: Depends on how much time I have. If time is really, really important, I'll grab kids, wife, and get the hell out.
POvidiusNaso: I doubt I'd grab any of them.
scriptorum: I wouldn't bring any games, they're all replaceable, one way or another.
skrutsch: As many of the Out of Prints that relate at least a 7 as possible.
dakarp: Quite a few--assuming I was going somewhere safe, most of my other stuff is more easily replaceable than my games. My painted copy of War of the Ring would come, of course. My hardest to replace games--Roads & Boats, Titan, and probably many others. I'd see what fit after I put in everything else I need.
The Unbeliever: 42
Snappatoon: All of them. Everything else is superfluous
funkhauser: Definitely my Go set. Beyond that, I'm not sure.
Gecko23: I don't think I'd even consider it actually.
AWildEep: Scotland yard, TtR
shotokanguy: La Citta and War of the Ring
BaSL: none, I'd pick other things. Games can be replaced
scribidinus: I would certainly grab the components required to play Russian Roulette but take a lot more ammo.
heli: hate to think about it
ThatFalafelGirl: OOP games, but i'd also probably take Roborally, Jungle speed and great dalumti so we had something to do.

midgetsrawk: Ticket to Ride
2amp: OGRE / GEV
Wintergoblin: Apples to Apples, Scrabble, Trivia Pursuit 20th Anniversary and 90's Edition

xombe: an edible one that is combustible and floats
ptper: too long of a question...next
chaddyboy_2000: A lot of them.
gnomehome: Games are not a vital necessity, I'd try to take them all though.

CDRodeffer: Go, a piecepack and some Icehouse stashes.
