Simply a wonderful game. Very strategic and tactical without being a brain burner. Plays quickly and is so much fun that I don't mind the lack of theme. I'll play it almost anytime I'm asked.

Dominion
One of my family's favorite games. It's all about having fun. Some strategy invovled, but more a matter of luck and tactics. It's a must have for larger groups who like a little silliness.

Bang!
An excellent skirmish war game that uses a great command system. All the scenarios arr based on real WWII battles and you can play a full campaign. Or you can make up your own and do pitched battles!

Although there is an element of luck the best players are the ones that know how to use the tiles the most effectively. You can block your opponents and strengthen your own position.

Essential expansion for Ticket To Ride. More route combinations make it much more interesting. And the regular size cards is a big improvement.

How is this game $79.98?
I do love this game though! It's like playing chess blindfolded.

Monopoly
Pretty fun dice building game, favors luck above all else. At $50.00 the cost of entry is pretty steep, but comes with tons of custom dice if that floats your boat.

First step of play reads "Player with the longest beard goes first." Instant 10 from me.

Highly overrated IMO. Unbalanced and boring, it's one of those classic games that is in dire need of a makeover.

Much more enjoyable if drunk or high. Barring those options, good, clean family fun.

Good Game, Best when playing with teams! Simple to learn but with two full decks and wild cards there is just the right amount of strategy.

This is a very fun game. Looked difficult to learn but is actually quite easy. Never the same game - changes each time you play.

Very fun Game... only played it twice but looking forward to trying out other strategies. And great suggestion about revealing cards one at a time... perfect for beginners.

Classic push-your-luck game, my non-gamer friends can't get enough. House rule: As soon as someone gets 13 or more, each player gets a chance to score higher or is eliminated. Try it!
