Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
I played Talisman all the time in high-school / college. Great beer and pretzels game - very funny to make it to the end and get the Horrible Black Void or be turned into a toad. The 4th ed. looks nice but I haven't bought it - I think I permanently burned myself out on Talisman in my youth.
Played Agricola once a few weeks ago and really liked it.
If you want another fun game, check out Cash N Guns. Its exactly like the Mexican standoff in Reservoir Dogs...

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
Since it hasn't been mentioned, Tigris & Euphrates is an excellent game. I also quite enjoyed the computer version of the board game Dominion (no s).

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
talisman has a high replay value with all the different characters and the big amount of adventure cards, which drive the game. the characters seem to be really imbalanced though. i played with a priest yesterday and literally had zero chance against the warrior

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
Shogun (now called samurai)
Settlers an honourable mention as the one I have played most, quicker and more newbie friendly

Re: OT: Favourite Boardgames
Games that have hit the table more often than others in the past year:
Memoir '44
Wings of War
Europe Engulfed
Last Night On Earth
Runebound
Talisman
A Touch Of Evil
The Great Space Race
Victory At Sea (miniatures game)
Arkham Horror
Tomb
And as soon as I get around to painting my minis and my opponent gets around to purchasing his, there will be lots of Secrets of the Third Reich action going on...
