I would be remiss if I did not mention Battlestar Galactica. Such a wonderful hidden traitor(s) game. Even better if you liked the show. - Baronspringa Mar 21, 07:10 1
- That was just in a top ten list I read. Maybe in the future I'll get that one. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 07:23

- Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 07:00
Splendor, 7 Wonders, Ticket to Ride, Takenoko are all good entry games. -- nm - ajrimmer Mar 21, 06:54 3
- Takenoko is on my short list, it has a panda! Splendor and 7 Wonders aren't but I'll give them a look now. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 06:56 2
  - 7 Wonders is great for a large group. It really zips along. -- nm - Baronspringa Mar 21, 07:02 1
    - I'm going to check it out shortly. Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 07:04
We got our brother-in-law and fiance "Pandemic Legacy". They love it. I dig the idea of legacy games. -- nm - volnelk Mar 21, 06:53 1
- Thanks! Added to my check it out list. I'm going to go watch videos of the games and see which ones would work best with two new - Krusty Mar 21, 06:58
i would recommend exploding kittens, but well it isnt a board game. what about Clue? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 21, 06:43 9
- I know nothing about Exploding Kittens but it always pops up in my searches. Have you played it? -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 07:07 1
  - I have, it's fun the first few times. The gameplay gets a little repetitive after a while though, as there is very limited strategy involved. -- (edited) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 21, 07:15
- Clue is too old. I'm thinking modern and more fun. There's one called Betrayal At House on the Hill. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 21, 06:47 6
  - I played that with Roo while camping ( creepy) - it was a bit odd to me - but seems popular -- nm - Epiphany Mar 21, 06:54 1
    - Thanks! Another yay for this one. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 07:10
  - Love that one. Watch out for the underground lake in the attic. -- nm - Baronspringa Mar 21, 06:51 3
    - I've watched a few videos on it and it looks fun. Do you think new players would be able to learn it quickly? -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 06:53 2
      - For sure. The basic mechanics are not at all complex. - Baronspringa Mar 21, 07:01 1
        
        Cool. Thanks for the help. I was leaning towards this one but I like getting the advice of STers on these things. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 07:03

- Weird but interesting. -- nm - Krusty Mar 21, 06:48
If you like math, Power Grid. If you don't, still Power Grid. -- nm - Baronspringa Mar 21, 06:42 3
- This looks like a good game to try for my gaming friends. Any suggestions on an entry level game for new players? I've watched so many videos I've - Krusty Mar 21, 06:51 2
  - How about something light like Ticket to Ride? -- nm - Baronspringa Mar 21, 06:52 1
    - Light would be good and that's a fantastic game but I was hoping for something a little more involved. - Krusty Mar 21, 06:54
yes - try Sequence -- nm - Epiphany Mar 21, 06:40 1
- That looks interesting and added to my list but I'm looking for a modern game like Carcassone. -- nm* - Krusty Mar 21, 06:45
