Ameritrash dice fest wargaming classic. I've played this game at least 600 times (mostly online), and I can honestly say that making a better Risk has inspired hundreds of games. Go get those. 5 Luck Strategy Casual Intense Complex Simple
The game that started me gaming. It doesn't hit the table much anymore because I've since moved on to greener pastures, but it's still a solid game that's great for new gamers. 6 Luck Strategy Casual Intense Complex Simple

The bluffiest, deductioniest, discover-your-friends-are-much-better-liars-than-you-though-iest party game there is. Short and oh so sweet. I've played 6 games back to back. This game is genius. 9 Luck Strategy Casual Intense Complex Simple

This game is so random that a friend of mine who hates games won a 6 player game depsite spacing out through the middle and paying virtually no attention to what he was doing. It's funny and light. 5 Luck Strategy Casual Intense Complex Simple
It's the classic "roll-and-move" game that has virtually no interesting decisions, takes too long, and has a run-away-leader-effect. There are better options nowadays. 3 Luck Strategy Casual Intense Complex Simple
