Our family played the classic family boardgames (Monopoly, Clue, Life, Battleship, Chess, Cards, etc) when I was growing up. In 1978 while in High School, I bought my first wargame, Squad Leader by Avalon Hill and I was really hooked.
I went on to purchase Dungeon & Dragons (the blue box version) and other Avalon Hill titles, which I still have. In college I played a lot of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Star Fleet Battles. In the late 80s I played RPGs and play-by-mail games. I got caught up in Magic: The Gathering when it came out along with another collectable game, Dragon Dice. I have not bought any Magic cards for several years and rarely play now.
Several years went by and we played mainly RPGs when we played games but we mostly played computer games. Then at GenCon 2003 we bought Settlers of Catan and as a family we started playing board games again. Since then I have since bought several Euro games which my family and friends play on a regular basis. In 2006 I went nuts and bought a lot of games going from about 230 games to about 340. Now I am concentrating on playing what I have.
Top 10 - These are my favorite games. Hot 10 - These are the games that I have been recently playing the most.
