I'll update as I get to know more games but my list is:

1. Twilight Imperium (Using expansion rules)
2. Rune Wars
3. Decent (This might be higher if doing a Campaign not sure)
4. Settlers of Catan (I'd like this more I think if there was fighting)
5. Chaos in the Old World
6. Betrayal at House on the Hill
7. Axis and Allies (Basic game haven't played the others)
8. Ticket to Ride games (Everyone seems decent)
9. Some game I played at CobaltEarthGem's has to do with Ships, slaves, plantations pretty fun game though.
10. Risk (It seems just a bit too simplistic now ..)

Games I want to try:
1. Horus Heresy
2. StarCraft (With expansion)
3. Decent (Campaign)
4. Munchkin
5. RuneBound
6. HeroScape
7. Expansions for Settlers of Catan

(Many Many More)

In no particular order:

1. Alhambra (Big Box edition)
2. Tobago
3. Settlers of Catan (Seafarers and Cities & Knights)
4. Carcassone
5. Any of the "crayon rails" games (Empire Builder, Eurorails, Iron Dragon, Martian Rails, etc etc etc)
6. Warhammer Quest
7. History of the World
8. Roborally
9. The old edition of Cosmic Encounter
10. Ticket to Ride

Not sure what I'd like to try out - Alhambra and Tobago I got to try out at a games night not too long ago and I went out and bought them, Alhambra was the last one I had on my want to try list. I think I'd like to check out Power Grid, maybe some of the newer Axis and Allies games although it's seeming to be ridiculous lately the amount of titles they are spitting out.

7. Ninja Burger



I've been looking at this one for a LONG time now, but never had any play experience with it or seen it played or anything. Main reason I haven't picked it up yet is I don't often have a large enough group to play those type of games with, it's usually my fiancee and myself playing. That and when we do have a group, they aren't as into games as the average geek, so they miss a lot of the jokes in games like Chez Geek. Bang! is a fantastic card game though if you've got 4+ people, even if they aren't experienced gamers.

(I left the card type games off my list since I thought we were just talking board games, but if we're adding card games in, I'd put in for Chez Geek (with whatever expansions), Bang!, Family Business, and Munchkin. And Ninja Burger on my Want To Try list)
