I ask this a lot, but I think it is good question. We want to hear about your favorites and why! Board games and RPGs...go!!!

My own favorites:

Top 5 board games - Ark Nova, Agricola, Terraforming Mars, Gaia Project, and Amun Re. I love engine building, and specifically card draft engine building.   3 of my favorite games (Agricola, Terraforming Mars, and Ark Nova) all have this aspect.

Man...people keep listing Twilight Imperium. I really need to play that game sometime...just need someone willing to teach it.

Top 5 board games- Return to Dark Tower, Keep the Heroes Out!, Sagrada, Twilight imperium, Stonespine Architects
Top 5 RPGs- Baldur’s Gate 2, Fallout 2, TES3.Morrowind, Baldur’s Gate 3, Disco Elysium.

I got to play a couple games of Brass Birmingham while at Origins, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Agricola is a game that is a slow burn...it took a dozen games before it hit me. As for Amun Re, I do enjoy it, but the bidding element can throw off the game a little...that is my only gripe (but it is a minor one).

I love Terraforming and Ark Nova but I think I would put Brass on the list before Agri. Haven’t tried Amun Re, but seems it is worth it!
