So what I'm looking for is games that are a lot of fun and can be played by gamers and non-gamers alike, though the games don't need to be simple. I enjoy strategy, tough decisions and risk/reward, but I also enjoy a little chaos, a nice screw factor and games that make me laugh.

Please feel free to add games that have the same effect for you and your gaming group!

And please don't worry about whether I own the game or not, I'm just looking for some fun!

This is the game that got me thinking about this list. I've only played the game a handful of times, but each time I do I enjoy it immensely. Taking away other peoples land so they have swimmers, moving boats away from where others can jump on and chanting for the sea monster die roll are all a big part of what we do! No one takes it too seriously and while there are several important decisions along the way, it's more about the FUN factor!

I can bring this to TABSCon if you'd like, Bel.

Edit: after checking your collection, I see you could bring it too. Never mind. :)

ahh yes, the Euro game before euro games (and it was American). Great fun and a nice gateway game.

I sure wouldn't mind playing this at TABScon regardless of who brings it!

I had this as a kid. Wonderful game. I agree - I don't know what happened to it. Would love another copy!

Another great game of chaos and trying to get the other player, by whatever means necessary. This is the game in which my group spends more time laughing and joking about another players misfortune than any other game. Whether it's getting shot in the back by another robot, powering down only to be pushed into a laser or off of the board or getting caught on a treadmill, life is good and fun!

Yep. One of the most confrontational games we have, and that's probably what makes it so much fun. Sure you die a lot, but you die happy! :cool:

This game can be hilarious. Much laughing when playing this! I know my favourite game I played was one in which I lost badly - but the manner in which one little push from another robot totally destroyed mine was so funny. One push caused me to, instead of getting the final flag, end up on the opposite side of the NEXT board over, having lost all 5 of my options and been damaged down to a single remaining life point. Quite something to see that much damage and backwards movement in one round. Not one of the 5 players could stop giggling for about 5 minutes.

This game has the fun factor (only with six) to a lesser extent but it's still there for us. Having your horse stop on the single passing squares so the chariot behind you can't pass, playing low cards so the person in first can't play their six card or just paying tribute to the Caesar with a proper salute, this is a lighter, yet very fun game!

Simple rules and very fun to play. It's great to block the other chariots then shoot ahead with a "6" the next turn.

This one has been a blast every time we've pulled it out. Lots of haggling, groans, guessing at bluff bets, shouting for a particular roll, and squinting as we try to determine which like-colored horse is which--oh wait, that part sucks.

But the rest of the game is "just plain FUN!"

Agreed. Offers dozens of "No, don't do that!" comments.
