re: Best board games you are playing or have played?

Group:
Murder in Hong Kong (clue-esque)
Just One (best party game)

Coops:
Nemesis (best for serious gamers)
Blood of Dracula
Arkham or Eldritch Horror
Horrified (best family)
Betrayal at House on the Hill (I hear Scooby-Doo is the best version for family)
Mansions of Madness (v2) (shorter better Arkham)

Competitive:
Twilight Imperium (only for the bravest)
7 wonders
Cosmic Encounters

Eta: Gloomhaven and the shorter Jaws of the Lion are both really good. Recommend for fantasy game lovers like D&D, etc.
I really really like Brass: Birmingham, but the replayability is only OK.
Pandemic is kinda meh.
The best Risk is Risk:2240...yeah, I said it, better than Risk: Legacy (one of the best legacy/campaign games)
Dominion is probably the best deck-builder but I had fun with Ascension and I like Star Realms.


I've played hundreds of Board Games...maybe a thousand or so.
