I searched, but didn't find anything on the forum about board games.
Does anyone out there venture to this side of the gaming divide?

Key to the Kingdom is the greatest board game ever.
A million times yes!!! I loved that! Which was the card that had the baddie that was impossible to defeat on it? Always found that quite scary.
Voodoo Spectre
Civilisation
Which in turn spawned the greatest video game OF ALL TIME.

Dundon's said:I fucking love Civ, if you like that kid you should get stuck into a game called Europa Universalis IV, a lot like Civ but way more dept if you can imagine that.
I have ASL. It's great, but way too complex to just throw a game with people that are not familiar with the extensive rules.Yeah, the EU games are certainly complex. Paradox make games like that, it's just their thing. Their other offerings, Victoria (particularly the second game) and Crusader Kings are also excellent. All broadly the same engine.
I haven't bought EU IV yet, but EU III was fantastic. Couldn't recommend enough.
A few board games you might like, Dundon's:
Twighlight Struggle: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/12333/twilight-struggle
Advanced Squad Leader: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/243/advanced-squad-leader
Specifically, very much along the group of games you mentioned, the following two are notable by their absence:
Agricola: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31260/agricola
Puerto Rico: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3076/puerto-rico
I'd recommend checking them out.
So I bought 'Ticket to Ride' and what an absolutely fantastic board game it is. I've played it four times in the past two days and I just want get another game going.
The basis of the game is that you've got a map of North America (there are other editions for Europe, Germany, Asia etc) which contains the major cities and blank railway connections between them.
These connections are of different colours; black, white, yellow, red, blue and about 5 more including a grey one and vary in length from 1 carriage to 6 carriage. Each player gets 45 carriages at the start of the game and the goal of the game is to get as many of your carriages onto the board as possible to create the railway connections.
