Settlers is an excellent gateway game, and I've played hundreds of games of it. However, once you're past your initial introduction to boardgames, you discover that there are many, many good games.Here's the list from #31-40:#31: YINSH - this is an one of a family of abstract games. I know nothing about it at all; it doesn't appeal to my friends at all.#32: Stone Age - a new addition; it is a worker placement game (like Agricola and Caylus), but lighter and more random. I enjoy this game a lot, and I've been playing it on brettspielwelt.de#33: The Settlers of Catan - one of the seminal Eurogames, and a fine gateway game to the larger boardgaming hobby. I play it on BSW, and still enjoy it a lot.#34: Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear - a very new "light-medium" wargame. Lovely components; uses action points for activation and cards for interesting modifiers during the game. It's a good introduction to WW2 wargames.#35: Tichu - we have it; I haven't played it yet. #36: Wallenstein - a hybrid Euro/Wargame set in Russia - it was later reimplemented as the highly ranked Shogun. This one is out of print and hard to get; I haven't played it.#37: Crokinole - a Canadian dexterity game using a wooden board, pegs and balls. I think. #38: Hammer of the Scots - an excellent area control wargame, where your leaders (and their troops) go home every winter. I've only played this once, but it's really great and I want to play it again.#39: Le Havre - a new addition... so new, it isn't even out in English yet (AFAIK). It's the follow-up to Agricola, although it changes a bunch of things.#40: Memoir '44 - a brilliant, brilliant light wargame using Richard Borg's "Command & Colours" system.Cheers!</blockquote>
