Puerto Rico - Great game that doesn't rely of random chance. It's all about the tactical decisions you make. No dice rolling, no random cards.
Small World - Fun land grab game with a light heart, fun races and plenty of tactical maneuvering.
Stone Age
Power Grid
Ticket to Ride
All games my wife and I regularly play.
Really, check out boardgamegeek.com.
Descent (but only when my Dungeons and Dragons group has no time)
Battlestar Galactica
Talisman
aah, Arkham Horror. First and only game I played I managed to lose the police cab in some alternate dimension
Played a couple more games tonight I hadn't before. Homesteader, a build/resource game was kind of fun (though I'm still not sure what a winning strategy is after just one game), and Qwirkle, a block game where the various shapes and colors are combined to make patterns that are worth points. I think Qwirkle was a better game (brilliantly simple) but they are definitely different types of games!
Zombies!!! is always a fun time, especially if you have max players since everyone eventually turns on each other and things get really crazy.
The Real [URL="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/4893/the-real-ghostbusters-game"]Ghostbusters[/URL] boardgame is pretty fun though its also best with max players as the game can be really short with just 2.
Marvel/DC/Image Overpower was a favorite back in highschool, still have all the cards just no one to play against.
The Wrath of Ashardalon has been a good so far. I wouldn't say it's my favorite but it is one of the few games my gf will play with me so I thought it deserved a mention.
I've been wanting to play Arkham Horror and I've also had my eye on Super Dungeon Explorer...
Have some fond memories of A&A from military days, some friends and I had a game going for a week! Finally just all decided to quit. Apples to Apples is really fun and I have to agree with Lord Tothe, a few drinks makes the game even better.
Corny faith and musty sorcery are no match for a good Gauss blaster.
ooh lists
Could go on, but current faves
Race for the Galaxy has been a long time favorite of mine.
Dominion, though falling out of favor
Seven Wonders, played recently, seemed fun. Would need to play more.
Arkham Horror, forever favorited.
Star Trek Tactics has caught my eye.
And the almighty Warhammer Quest!!
I wish I played Chaos in the Old World more aswell.
I have a fun board game called [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solarquest"]Solarquest[/URL]. I also need to find people who play [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrace_(board_game)"]Terrace[/URL]
"Tothe" rhymes with "cloth."
