Axis and Allies (the new editions are better than the older editions, the ones like Pacific/etc suck though)

Pacific was good; very well-balanced. Europe kind of sucked, however, as every game came down to a massive German stack vs a massive Russian stack.

Russian Campaign by Avalon Hill almost got me failed out of uni I played it so much. So simple and yet so difficult. The best I've played.

Talisman -- but good luck finding one. Game Designers Workshop hasn't made it in years.

I have a second edition from the eighties, when I used to play it a lot - lost the original but replaced it soon after.

robo rally is also worth the investment, provided you can learn enough people how to play the game properly.

Rail Baron - must have 4 players; 5 or 6 is better (BTW, decent online version is free)

Could you please direct me to the online version? My googling fails.

Ah, I see that I misunderstood this -- I visited that site. It's an install and then you play online.

Thanks!

I still like to play the pirated knock-off of Axis and Allies online from time to time. Usually up for a game. If anyone's interested in a game or two, just drop me a line.

I didn't actually play Pacific.

I think I own Europe played it once.

If you are rerfeing to Dogs of War, it sucks.

Kuci, Jag, and I play A&A on tripleA regularly.

Based on your recommendation (years ago), it has been on my buy on sight list.

I still don't own it.

Do you mean TripleA? JM, Jaguar and I play all the time. I'll send you a message next time we're up for a game.

Drool. It's such a great party game. The rules can be explained in just a minute or two. If someone wants to leave in the middle of the game, it's no biggie. If someone wants to join late in the game, they still have a chance to win.

And I really like the cover on the 2nd Edition box.
