Was curious if there was a way to just search their Silver Line games, the ones they own/license now are on their site but I would like to see the ones they used to own/license. TIA! Jonathan

I don't know of anything specific to the Silver Line but you can look at their publisher page and see all FFG games.
What is also confusing is what they define as SilverLine. To me, the Citadels/Red November box is the Silver Line and was marked as such. But I think the wider boxes of Kingdoms and Colossal Arena and the deeper box like Through the Desert are also Silver Line but aren't marked as such as I recall.
If I may ask, why the specifc intersest in just the Silver Line?

Ya I was trying that but got tired of clicking LOL, I didnt know they had so many games LOL.
Sure by all means Brian, I was looking into the Silver Line games as it seems to be what I can play with my parents the most. They love and want to share in my hobby but mainly (especially my Father, Mom on the other hand will play TOI, Zombie Plague, etc just about anything) anyways mainly my Father being older cant wrap his head around alot of rules so the Silver Line games seem to do best with them. He loves Mag Blast (and not FFG but also Guillotine), so I was looking for more Silver Line games that we could play together (next on the list is Red November).
As far as Colossal Arena goes, I think I remember seeing a pic of it with their Silver Line writing on it. Its on the games page.
Scarab Lords is also like the above its a bigger box but is marked Silver Line  .

FFG used to have a standard box size for their silver line games, it's the box size that the first edition of Citadels came in. Other games with that size include Scarab and Minotaur Lords, Arena Maximus, Quicksand, Colossal Arena, Delta V, Magdar, Maginor, Senator, Drakon and Drakon 2nd Edition, Vortex/Maelstrom, and a bunch of others.
Then they also had a few boxes that are the same length & width as the above games' boxes, but were about 1.5 times as deep. Through the Desert and Drakon 3rd Edition came in boxes of this size.
Then recently they began using the smaller, skinny boxes for games like the new edition of Citadels, Condotierre, and Great Wall of China. These are also "silver line".
To further complicate matters, the term "Silver Line" is really only a few years old, so many of the older games (from the first paragraph, above) don't have the "silver line" emblem on their boxes. But I still consider them to be "silver line" because when the term was first used, all "silver line" games came in those boxes, and the deeper ones.

The other confusing "rule of thumb" was that any game that had the "silver" logo was probably a part of the silver line. But now, FFG seems to have replaced the redish-bluish logo with the silver one so all new FFG titles have the same logo.
FFG puts out some quality titles but I guess I would warn against just blindly buying all Silver Line titles and eaqually warn against blinders for just those products. There are by different designers and deal with different themes and mechanics. So just because one is "simple" or "good" doesn't mean the rest will be that way. I still need to get Red Novemeber ont he table (and was looking to do that tonite, in fact) but some find those rules more confusing than most games, let alone one that should be it he Silver Line. It seemd the ability to shrink this game was more the factor for putting it in the SilverLine as it could have just as easily been a "full size" game with larger pieces and board.
