Favorite Board Games

[jidar]

I am a boardgame nut.
As a kid I liked the old standbys, Monopoly, Risk, Clue... In highschool after playing a bit of DnD and MagicTG I joined an historical gaming club at the local university and was introduced to various Avalon Hill games, not the least of which was Axis and Allies and Civilization. Also played a lot of Kingmaker, Supremacy, and Diplomacy.

I still play some of these occasionally but the truth is board gaming has made a resurgence and there are modern games that improve on all of those in just about every way.

Favorites today include

A Game of Thrones:


BattleLore


Settlers of Catan


and
Twilight Struggle


Actually I have a pretty big collection and like tons more as well:
