Many of these games are known as 'Eurogames', due to the prolific nature of the German and French game designers. Over the past five years, however, I've become aware of a great amount of other board games.
In college, I played quite a few collectible card games, and dabbled with wargames and miniatures. I quickly started looking through thrift stores to find more and more games, and was captivated by games that had variety and strategy, such as Cosmic Encounter and Scotland Yard. I've played board games most of my life, having learned classics such as Uno!, Monopoly, Sorry!, and Careers as a child.
