Im surprised no one has mentioned either Settlers of Cataan, Axis and Allies, Diplomacy, or dare I say it----Magic: the Gathering.
Ive spent more than my share of youth on these great games.

My wife and I love to play Carcassonne, along with a couple of its expansions. It is a great two player game.

A game that I like that I can play with people who aren't serious gamers is Fluxx. It's ever-changing rules make it entertaining enough for a strategy buff, but it is random enough where you can play it casually.
A lot of fun overall.

While it isn't Risk...there is a game called ATTACK which is very much like Risk however the game play is deeper and in my opinion much better...
it even has a board game expansion pack.

My favorite is definitely Axis and Allies. I think i actually spent more time in drunken discussions on strategy for the game than I did playing it.

Nine Man's Morris (How's THAT for old school?)
Also, I love Cabale. It's an abstract strategy game where you move a runner around a hex board, leaving pieces where it turns, trying to get the most points covered.

My favorite board games were:
Survive!
Dungeon
Solarquest
(I loved this one so much I actually made about 80+ pages of additional rules for it, with advanced combat, illegal trade, etc.)
I also played quite a bit of Shogun and Axis & Allies.

When Cataan first came out, I was a huge fan, but I always thought that it was missing something.... Once you really got your settlement going, the game ended. There are two great games that I've been playing lately. The first is Puerto Rico from Rio Grande Games: www.riograndegames.com/It pretty much has everything Catan was missing. There are no dice. There is no random element, no luck involved. There are diverse options and strategies available. There are multiple ways to end the game and win. If you pick it up, I strongly reccommend you get the expansion. You can download it for free at the Rio Grande web site, or you can buy it for $5 (saves you the trouble of printing it and cutting out the pieces). The second game I recommend is called Shadows Over Camelot: www.shadowsovercamelot.com/As you can guess, it's an Arthurian-based board game. What's cool about this game is that it's cooperative. The players play against the game. Up to 7 players, each player takes on the role of a knight of the round table, each knight has a unique ability. From there you go on multiple quests and try to win victories for Camelot. It's a fantastic, addicting game. I always enjoy it. The cooperative style of play is a welcome break from the "screw-your-neighbor" type games. |
