Games to Play with the Wife For the most part, these are two player games with fairly short play times that appeal to gamers and 'non-gamers' alike. Kahuna Streetsoccer Lost Cities Caesar & Cleopatra Phoenix Rosenkonig Cafe International Drive Cartagena Plext Games to Play with the Kids This category is intended to suggest games for children a little too young for some of the more complex games but old enough to actually play instead of just chewing on the pieces. I'd guess this age range to run at about 4-9. Geistertreppe Carcassonne Iglu Iglu Spy Walk the Dogs Ooga Pop Belly Tsuro Bang! Sneaks Games to Play at a Party This selection tends to have wide appeal and doesn't slow the evening down overmuch with cumbersome rules or heavy decision-making. The interaction level tends to be high to keep things lively. Bang! Tsuro Lifeboat Pitchcar Texas Roll 'Em Balderdash Eye to Eye Pool Position Mystery of the Abbey Set Games to Introduce 'Non-Gamers' to the Hobby I don't really think that there is such a thing as a 'non-gamer', just people who haven't been properly introduced to the hobby (or people who stubbornly refuse to play in spite of how much fun they might have). In any event, these games are proven to have wide appeal to both 'gamers' and 'non-gamers' alike. Tsuro Bang! Carcassonne Ticket to Ride Bohnanza Settlers of Catan Tikal Mississippi Queen Mystery of the Abbey For Sale
