One of my regular gaming buddies also has an extensive board game collection (more extensive than mine).Personally I tend to buy fantasy-themed games (with sci-fi in second place for theme) however beyond that I like a lot of different types of games. I have several adventure type games including Mage Knight and Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era. Arena combat game Black Rose Wars Rebirth. Fairly hard-core euro game Terra Mystica. A magical 4x in the form of Runewars. Some modern classics like Slay The Spire, and more besides.I used to be into war gaming, but I also now lack the time and patience to collect, build, and paint models. For my fantasy battle itch-scratching I have BattleLore 2e, which used the Command and Colours system seen in Memoire ‘44 and a bunch of historical war games but with a fantasy theme. I can get the hit of designing an army, building out the battlefield and playing a full-length battle in under an hour and since I have collected all the expansions I have three full armies (humans, chaos, and undead) to field so all I need is one of my buddies to be up for a game in an evening to play. It’s expensive on the secondary market since it is long out of print but there is really nothing that matches it in my experience.[USER=7043470]@The Soloist[/USER] - nice collection, I am also quite into solo board games, or at least like my games to be solo-able so I can play them more often.[USER=467]@Reynard[/USER] - a card game to look out for might be Codex Real-Time Strategy. It’s unfortunately also out of print but some Deluxe sets come up on the secondary market (or there is a print-and-play option available). The concept is that you build your deck every round during the game, and the full Deluxe set has six factions, each with three specialisations, which you pick in-play. Its design brief was to be a Magic-like game but to be a ‘one and done’ purchase. I bought it to have an in-person Hearthstone-like card battler.</blockquote>
