Fun Tabletop Games?

Mr. Ghost asks: "My friends and I have recently been in the market for a good new boardgame or other tabletop game. We have worked through the gamut of games like Axis & Allies, Supremacy, and War! Age of Imperialism. More recently we have been playing tile based games like Carcasonne and Settlers of Catan. I am looking for some suggestions on some new games we could get into."

The hell are you talking about? There is no such game as Civilization Advanced.

The game to which you're almost certainly referring - Advanced Civilization - is almost fifteen years old, and predates the video game line by two years. The two board games (Advanced Civilization and Sid Meier's Civilization) aren't related - Advanced Civ is the sequel to a much older game called Civilization which Avalon Hill acquired from Hartland Trefoil, which was in turn probably coarse inspiration for the original video game, but nothing more. Both the original and Civ Adv are pretty much just Risk with trading (oddly, disasters are treated as negative resources to be traded) and a minor science system of no serious importance.

Informative my ass. Mod parent down.
