Engaging

Excellent team coop game
This game is a firm favourite when we do board-game days.
You play either heros or zombies. There are various different missions and games are usually close, going down to the wire and adding to the thrill of it. Worth every penny and I shall be getting the expansions for it.
Did I mention it's well thought out? It's so good - you can tell someone has put a lot of effort into getting the balance just so.

If you liked Dominion but are looking for something a little more involved, Clank! is the game for you. Dominion was what got our group into gaming years ago, but all of the expansions have gotten dusty as we moved on to more complicated games. After a year of debating buying Clank!, we finally got around to it, and wished we had sooner. It reminded us of our initial infatuation with deck building.
As for the game itself, the mechanics are well balanced and make the game go quickly. And the artwork is much, much more consistant than Dominion.

I have never laughed so hard at a simple card game. It is very similar to Cards Against Humanity, however in this game, you are playing to make the perfect punchline to a 3-frame comic strip. We played with four people and in about 2 hours, we played through all the cards available. I can see how playing with more people would make the game faster and also a bit repetitive. I'm sure with expansions, there will be more cards to play, however at this time, I'm not sure there is a lot of "re-playableness". Once you see the cards and how they interact, they lose their humor.

Arkham Horror: The Card Game is a very good game... for people who consider themselves avid board gamers. There is a lot to learn, such as the flow of the gameplay, what each type of card does, keeping tally of your skills, etc. If you are willing to knuckle down and stumble through your first attempt at the game, then the story is quite good and is worth the hassle. Otherwise, there is a lot to learn and get your head around. My partner and I really enjoyed playing this game and are looking forward to buying the expansions.

Fantastic Lovecraftian D&D lite style rpg
I absolutely love this game. It is a very complex story drive dog with Lovecraftian themes and monsters. Its a perfect way for his stories to come to life and each scenario does feel like solving a mysterious puzzle. There are only 4 scenarios in the core box but a load of expansions and additional online content. Everyome who I play this with loves it. The app saves a lot of time which would be the dm to figuring out what to do next. Its not a cheap game but in my opinion very well worth it.

I've been waiting forever
I've been waiting for this for years. I remember how much fun I had playing this game as a kid. But as we know with kids we lose stuff, we break stuff, and then it gets thrown away. Too bad cause I've been looking for a copy of the original online for sometime and didn't like the idea of spending upwards of $500. So now we have a new version which looks like the original with a few expansions. I'm super excited and will be buying a full set. More reviews to come when I actually get my hands on it

Great for kids
Carcassonne is a modern board gaming classic, but one which did not grab me or my gaming group. I went all in by buying a Big Box with multiple expansions, but the variety in the game just wasn't enough for me to enjoy this and see it as anything but a linear tile placement game that subjected me to spend my time putting down tiles and scoring spaces. However, I appreciate my view is in the minority. If you are on the fence about buying this game, I suggest you try before you buy, so you don't end up spending too much and potentially not enjoying this game, like me.

A game that can be as complicated or as simple as you desire
I first discovered this game at a board game convention where i entered a competition and instantly fell in love with it. The rules are simple and you can pick it up quickly.
The general aim of the game is to collect as many points as possible before all the tiles run out buy building cities, roads, churches, farms exct.
One of the main things i love about this game is the variety of ways you can play it. you can buy expansions for it so the posibilities are endless.

A better version of Alhambra in my opinion.
I love this version, and with Alhambra getting bulky with all the expansions. which make the game better but also make it longer. We play this version so much more than the rest. It's only one game, but you can if you want to, combine it with the basic Alhambra (I've not tried that)
What i like most is the dual sided tiles, where you can pay a little more to flip it. which makes for much deeper strategy with finding the value of the tile you you versus your opponent. the depth doubles for me. Which I LOVE.
If you even like Alhambra, try this one. If you've never played either, try Alhambra first.
