I've been itching to play some Axis and Allies the last few days...

It depends on where you live, possibly, but I know some closet gamers. I've been playing D&D and other RPG for 20 years with a cop. He's been a cop for 25 years -- a classic beefy Irishman cop who would rather admit to murder than being a geeky gamer.

Pat, Rain Man and I did an online version a few years back. Very good system. Could put something together again perhaps.

I've introduced multiple families to Settlers of Catan and it has consistently gotten rave reviews (and they're not just fluffing me, because months later they ask me about expansions for it etc.):
Anybody who lives H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulu stuff will probably greatly enjoy Arkham Horror, a cooperative game in which the players try to beat the evil descending upon Arkham before they die, or go mad.

That one I don't know. I remember back in the day the publisher of Axis and Allies also had two other games, a samurai game I never played, and a game called "Fortress America", which put the American player on the defense trying to defend against a futuristic assault from the east (Russians, basically), west (Asians) and south (South Americans). It was a pretty good game. Not as good as A&A but not bad. I went looking for it a few yeasr back as I have kids now and figured they'd like it. It's out of print, and it was over a hundred bucks to buy one on eBay. And this thread made me look for it and now it looks like prices are WAAAY down. I will likely pick one up soon. Thanks CP! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fortress-Ame...item3a8f52308c

I've also introduced many peoples (males and females) to Settlers. I can't name one that didn't want to play again.

Tried to talk my son into buying Junior Settlers the other day with his Easter gift card for Target. He settled on the Zombies vs. Wrestlers dice game instead (which is pretty fun) as well as Farkle (which he destroyed me at last night).
This is a pretty good news clip on the rise of board games amongst Millenials: http://m.voanews.com/a/1894298.html#...77f_mobile.mp4

Another good introductory game is Carcassone.
