Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection?

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-have-died-of-dysentery dept.

SternisheFan writes: I am not a "gamer," per se. I grew up on "old school" arcade/Atari-type games. My question is: What are the very best games to own? Let's assume platform is irrelevant — any console, any computer, any operating system, any mobile device. I'd just like to know what you think are the most indispensable games to have in your collection. Let's expand this to include board games and other tabletop games as well. What games do you make sure to always have on hand for get-togethers?

    Settlers of Catan for gatherings of 4-6. The only issue is when alcohol gets involved, the games can become marathon sessions.

    This also got me thinking of another party game, Pandemic. This is a new addition and what's really sweet about it is that it promotes teamwork as you're not in competition so there's a different vibe, nice for a mix up. Settlers of Catan is worthy of a mention too.
