I know that this may sound goofy, but here is a list of games that are seeing a lot of table time! In other words, HOT games! This is how it goes at this point in time.
1. Memoir '44 - One of the BEST WWII games around!! A new Air Pack is coming out soon and will only cause this game to remain in the top position even longer!
2. Last Night on Earth, The Zombie Game - Enough has been said about this game in previous posts! Good zombie FUN!
3. Magic the Gathering CCG - What can I say? THE Grand Daddy of CCG games! FANTASTIC!
4. Thebes - Another game that has been talked about a lot lately! Great fun!
5. Thurn & Taxis - This game gives "Going Postal" a whole new meaning! LOVE this game AND it's expansion "Power & Glory"! Who knew that building postal routes in OLD Germany ( & parts of Europe too ) would be so much FUN!!
6. Yspahan - Mike's new game! Lots of fun and cool mechanics!!
7. Infernal Contraption - Awesome card game! Players are "Bodgers" ( goblin mechanics) and build machines to take out the other guy(s)! A blast!
8. Carcassonne - Wonderful "gateway" game! SUPER family game! Each version has it's own feel and appeal!
9. Ticket to Ride - Ditto! Hehe, all I said of Carcassonne can be said the same of these outstanding train games!
10. Boomtown - Super fun game of gold mines, miners, Mayors ,saloons, etc, etc,etc!
Sorry for the brief descriptions, but I'd be at this for days if I intended to go in to detail about each game. ALL are worth looking in to and buying!!
I have to say that it's VERY difficult to make these lists! I have MANY favorites and I'd like to make a Top 10, but I'd go crazy trying to widdle all of them to just 10! I can say that here is a list of my top faves that, unfortunately DON'T get much playtime ( due to player schedules and/or lack of interest ). These are not in order of importance. Check these out on BGG!
1. Taj Mahal 2. Battlelore 3. Caylus 4. Blue Moon City 5. Tigris and Euphrates
6. Power Grid 8. Robo Rally 9. Antike 10. Shogun 11. Samurai 12. Betrayal at House on the Hill
That's it for now!

A new expansion for Carcassonne? That looks interesting, are ya gonna get it? Hey what do you think of that WOTC game Dreamblade? I just put the starter pack in my wishlist on TH. I was thinking it might be cool but now I just thinking that it's just to weird and abstract. I was thinking that if I wanted to play a miniatures battle game I should just stick to Heroscape. What do you think?
Yes and no! Yes, I will get the new Carcassonne expansion! It sounds cool! No, stay away from Dreamblade! Heroscape is ALL you need at this point in time. It's the best out there! Not to mention that it barely gets played as it is and one more "mini" game would make it worse.
Hmm, are you noticing a pattern here, all these games with the exception of Yspahan, are ALL in Scotts collection, It seems like I mentioned that the other weekend..ha ha, just messing with you Scott. what about History of the World? I know we only played it once but, what about Formula De? Isn't that a Hot one?
I did forget Formula De. Wow! Actually HotW doesn't count since it's only been played once. Plus, Formula De hasn't been played very much either. Mainly my list is of games that are played with you guys and/or my family on a regular basis. Hey, what can I say? I have a pretty good collection! Hehe!
EXTRA! EXTRA!
Read all about it!! News from RGG!
For later in 2007, we are working on Power Grid card deck 2, Cuba, The Great American Railroad Game (an updated version of Stephenson’s Rocket, but based in the Eastern US), Samurai tile game (a smaller, tile version of Samurai), Ra dice game (Ra, but with dice), Lemons & Lemonade, Veritas, Burger Joint, Bonnie & Clyde, Amyitis, Key Harvest, St Pete expansion, Chateau Roquefort, and one or two or three or ... others.
New World Carcassonne (no actual title, yet) will likely appear in 2007. We have acquired the rights to Ra, and will publish it again in January, 2008. Mogul has been delayed to 2008, and the “real” Puerto Rico expansion will be ready by October, 2008.
This is actually old news, but some it is cool to know!
Puerto Rico Expansion? Daddy Like! Hey thanks for the advice about Dreamblade, I think you are right. Sometimes I just get suckered in by the evil marketing ploys of WOTC
Ra dice game...that sounds cool!
also yes Scott, I agree, you do have a good collection, you know how to pick -um...but dont let your head swell up he he
Me?? Get a big head?? Nawwwwww! You're crazy man!
