Pandemic

This one is at the top of my list to try with a group of friends next. Pandemic is the game where it's you and your friends working together to beat the game. A fully cooperative experience, your party works together to fight the outbreak of 4 new diseases in the world. With multiple difficulty levels and outbreak conditions, this game has a high replay-ability factor. During setup, each player chooses a "role" playing the scientist, with bonuses to researching disease cures, or perhaps the healer, with bonuses to curing the inflicted, etc etc. Whomever you choose, you'll all have to work together to eliminate the 4 diseases before the global population meets it's doom. Good luck gamers.

Ticket To Ride

The first game I'm going to review is going to be the first game anyone needs to add to their collection,  if they've not done so already. Ticket To Ride is by far the best tabletop game for the beginning gamer. It takes all of 10-15 minutes to learn the games rules and dynamics, but this simple to learn game also provides massive amounts of room for competitive strategy gamers to enjoy as well. With many different destinations you'll never play the same game twice, and unlike many other games all players are competitive until the last piece is played. Go out and get your copy of Ticket to Ride today!

7 Wonders

You are the leader of one of the 7 great cities of the Ancient-World. Gain resources early in order to develop your empire and/or conquer your opponents with military dominance. 2-7 players compete in 7 Wonders through 3 rounds of play as each of you work to develop technology, discover the fine arts, or build relics and upgrade your civilization. The game developers say it's recommended for around 30 minutes of game-play, but my experience is much closer to 45 minutes to 1 hour. This is a great game of strategy for newcomers or highly competitive strategists. There is a learning curve to the scoring mechanisms, but once you understand it, it's really not that complicated.

Valeria Card Kingdoms

Valeria Card Kingdoms is a game I was fortunate enough to demo this year at Origins Game Convention in Columbus Ohio. It is a tableau building game (Similar to Machi Koro if you're familiar with that) in which you roll dice to gain resources from various citizen cards you aquire on your turns, that you will exchange for various other cards on your turn. To put it more simply, you get cards that give you stuff when certain numbers on a die are rolled. You then use that stuff to buy more cards to give you, you guessed it, even more stuff. Inflation tends to be a thing in this game as towards the end of the game everyone has alot of stuff, but the game does not disappoint in what you can do as a player to spend your stuff. You can slay monsters with might and magic that will earn you victory points (and stuff), you can buy citizens to get you more stuff from the dice being rolled, or you can buy domain cards for special powers and even more victory points (and stuff). Each play...
