I got my start with board games with Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan, which are still pretty effective. Is there anything from the past five years or so that hit that big and is that approachable?

    Agreed on Coup, I’ve played that with some friends and it’s generally been a hit.

    I picked up Skull King last week but haven’t had a chance to play it yet; looks like a variation/expansion on a regular card game I’ve played called Screw The Dealer, which is always fun.

    The one thing I haven’t yet found is a good intro game for engine building. Admittedly, I haven’t done a lot of digging yet, more just something I need to start.

      For engine building, Splendor worked for me, but it’s not the best game for player interaction. Not much of a theme either.
