So, because of this, we've purchased Dixit, Gloom and The Resistance.
Dixit is fun, but I'm terrible at it because I'm too literal. Gloom is by far my favorite, but not everyone likes it because they don't like the pressure of coming up with a small story. But the wife and I played it with a friend, and we made an awesome story together, and it was super, super fun. The Resistance is the group favorite. Everyone loves it and doesn't want to stop playing it. We've played it with 5 couple friends and they all keep asking when we can play again. Going to buy Fortune and Glory this week, if I can find it. |

For those of you who enjoy Quarriors (and that should be everyone), the new Marvel Dice Masters is a ton of fun. It's also incredibly affordable (14.99) for the base set, with blind pack expansions selling for a buck apiece.

I've been itching to play some Axis and Allies the last few days...

That one I don't know. I remember back in the day the publisher of Axis and Allies also had two other games, a samurai game I never played, and a game called "Fortress America", which put the American player on the defense trying to defend against a futuristic assault from the east (Russians, basically), west (Asians) and south (South Americans). It was a pretty good game. Not as good as A&A but not bad. I went looking for it a few yeasr back as I have kids now and figured they'd like it. It's out of print, and it was over a hundred bucks to buy one on eBay. And this thread made me look for it and now it looks like prices are WAAAY down. I will likely pick one up soon. Thanks CP! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fortress-Ame...item3a8f52308c |

I've introduced multiple families to Settlers of Catan and it has consistently gotten rave reviews (and they're not just fluffing me, because months later they ask me about expansions for it etc.):
Anybody who lives H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulu stuff will probably greatly enjoy Arkham Horror, a cooperative game in which the players try to beat the evil descending upon Arkham before they die, or go mad. |

I've also introduced many peoples (males and females) to Settlers. I can't name one that didn't want to play again.
