Battlestar Galactica
A really fun game that forces you to react as the game evolves. Best with 3-4, although 5 players is crazy.
Only complaint is that the game can be subject to AP, and the theme is light (although enjo

El Grande
This is one of the most thematic board games I have ever played! If you are a fan of Firefly the tv show - you will totally get into this game!

Firefly the Game
Easy to learn and understand. Can take some time to remember all the different races and skills, but all players get a referencecopy with info.
Fun!

Just love this game. Good design, good game mechanics and fun to play

Eclipse
San Juan is one of my favorites because the game is constant engagement for 30-45 minutes. You are involved in each players turn yet not interacting directly. Very good game and hard to find. Grab it!

San Juan
A really great area control game that has stood the test of time (except for print runs). If you can find the game, grab it and get ready for a deep, rewarding, strategic experience.

El Grande
This is the game that hooked me in. It is still one of my favorites. A good mix of luck and strategy, great replayability and great for all sorts of groups. This one should be in everyones collection.

Carcassonne

Bohnanza
Wanted to love it, but can't. Wish there were more ships and more of a community around this game. Such potential, but though the base box is fun, it is just not enough.

Battleship Galaxies
I'm one of the few, but didn't like it. Too much luck in the initial draw and overstays its welcome.

Agricola
Challenging enough, but easy for those like me who are new to strategy games.

great intro to eurogames. I like it because you aren't really playing against the other people, your just trying to do your best feeding your family.

Agricola
Lots of little additions to the original RISK rule foundation. The old strategies I used to play in university need to be improved upon for the added elements. Timing of the command cards (and a bit

Risk 2210 A.D.
One of the better 4x games.
I love the multiple strategies one could take. The game feels like an arms (or resource/technology) race from start to finish.

Eclipse
I love the theme and gameplay. Meaty games are my bread and butter. Everyone needs to be able to commit the time.
Even after many playthroughs (and expansions), a few bad rolls and unlucky draws can

Arkham Horror
This is such a great co-operative game that I bought for me and my 6 and 8 year old and we all love it. It's simple enough for my 6 year old but intense enough for me and my 8 year old.
