I was introduced to eurogames through Settlers of Catan in 1996, and have since developed into an avid player, collector, and teacher of board games. I currently play with two different game groups, one of which I founded for Columbia students, but it is open to fellow BGGers who want to stop by (
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/csss/), and the other of which is the NYC Boardgame Meetup at Neutral Ground (
http://boardgames.meetup.com/23/). While I definitely prefer playing eurogames in person, I also frequently play online at BrettspielWelt (
http://www.brettspielwelt.de/), SpielByWeb (
http://www.spielbyweb.com/), and MaBiWeb (
http://www.mabiweb.com/) as well as Tigris & Euphrates right here on BGG. My username on each is also Thommy8, and I'm always up for a game, so just send me a GeekMail if you'd like to play sometime. My avatar is a picture of Opus from Bloom County, and my blog can be found at
http://games.fooville.net/My Hot 10 List is actually my Personal Top 11-20 List since I couldn't pick just 10 games. Despite my constantly growing collection of over 100 games now, I think I could be satisfied with just these 20 games really. They're the cream of the crop in my opinion, and while I don't think I could ever pick just one desert-island game, these 20 would do nicely.
