Or, at the very least, I wish the list of staples was widened to admit some more modern designs. For example, Incan Gold is a really quick, easy to learn, easy to play game that supports lots of players, can be played by six-year-olds, and (IMO) is extremely fun. And that's just one out of hundreds of great easy-to-play modern games.I'd recommend Shut Up and Sit Down as a review site, because it actually focuses on what you feel (or think) when playing the games, rather than fixating on the rules. Too many board games review sites think they need to laboriously explain all of the rules in their review with an opinion tacked on at the end, and they end up with boring reviews.</blockquote>
