Epic Dungeon Army Wars: Advanced
Probably the best strategy game to date. Did you hear that Axis and Allies? The pacing of the game with the 5 day wait period for the committee is actually one of its most engaging elements.

Epic Dungeon Army Wars: Advanced
Do not underestimate the strategy involved in this game. It requires spatial thinking, planning multiple moves ahead, and anticipating your opponents. The key is balancing offense and defense.

This is a great game that combines simplicity,strategy, and low stress level. I find it to be a great alternative to Settlers when I don't feel like ruining a friendship or a marriage.

Carcassonne
Words that describe this game: "advanced" maybe, another I'd say is "epic". It's Kind of a dungeon crawl but there's an army. I asked myself while playing: "too much or too little war?" I say both.

AMAZING!

Epic Dungeon Army Wars: Advanced
Clearly a front-runner for Game of the Year. This truly deserves the name "Epic."

Epic Dungeon Army Wars: Advanced
Quick to teach and understand, but not easily mastered. The short game length is a huge plus for me as well.

7 Wonders
I love with this game lately. Has a lot of depth in the choices you are making, but it is manageable to teach to beginners. Best parts are that 7 can play at a time and games only last 30 minutes.

Carcassonne: Traders & Builders
A quick and easy game- great for Harry Potter fans and wannabe wizards everywhere.

Potion-Making Practice
I enjoy this game! It's a nice quick game that can be learned quickly, but can require some more skill/guesswork if you want to think about it. Included expansion gives it good replay value.

Citadels
This is in my opinion the best board game created. With the variety that the expansions afford, I find it difficult to imagine ever tiring of the game. The game is not the ideal for socializing.

The Settlers of Catan
Very simple and relaxed game. The game can be somewhat political, so be aware of that element. I have yet to play any of the expansion, but I do look forward to doing so.

Carcassonne
It's like strategic Yahtzee. The power cards make for an interesting game. It still all comes down to dice rolls and luck, but if you're looking for a dice game you won't go wrong here.

To Court the King
This is my first deck building game and I love it. The Magic influences show through in a good way. It starts to feel more luck based with 4 people, but playing with 2 or 3 is great!

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer
I am a huge fan of the deck-building genre- and if you are too, Ascention will not disappoint! A staple in my collection!

Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer
Jenga is a good simple game, fun to play with the family, or with drunk friends.
It's as casual as it gets, but a bit of fun every now and then.

Jenga
Carcassonne is a fantastic game for a smallish group. Fairly easy to learn, but very difficult to master.
Many expansions available for further gameplay additions.

Carcassonne
It's a great gateway game to get people into the board game world. It doesn't take too long to play and it's a blast. I love the way the different roles change the feel of the game from turn to turn.
