I'm slowly making the transition from Non-Gamer to Gamer. A few months ago, if anyone had asked me "name a board/card game", what would I have been able to think of?
Many of the games on the list are children's games, probably because many of the things I like are erroneously thought of as degenerate by people who don't understand or appreciate the field, such as comics and animation.
Not long ago I would have thouht that a Eurogame would be European Monopoly and I wouldn't have had a clue what a meeple was!
So, anyway, on with the list! I've tried to suggest "Gamer" alternatives from what I've learned in my limited research and would appreciate any other suggestions.
