Does Twilight Imperium count? It's more board game than tabletop strategy game, the upshot being you don't spend your life savings on miniatures, and your weekdays on painting those miniatures.

I recently bought the 3rd edition for 80� (that's the normal price around here) and I am very disappointed. The game is just boring, because after 4 sessions we came to the conclusion, that the game you play on the board (moving ships, conquering planets) has almost no influence on who wins the game, due to the imperial strategy and unfair mission objectives.
