XCOM: The Board Game - I love cooperative games and this one comes well recommended. Up to 4 players take the roles of commander, comms officer, tactical officer and scientist, in a time limited, frantic attempt to save the earth from an alien invasion!
I've watched some reviews and I can't imagine playing without 4 players, but I think it'll be a winner with my gaming group. There are 4 of us and we all like the computer games, which, if you haven't played them, you have missed out!!!
Only War - I really enjoy my RPGs. I craved doing pen-and-paper RPGing as a kid and only feel like I've started to touch the surface now! I own Star Wars: Edge of the Empire and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, which I'm very keen to play more of, but the thought of running a game where the players are lowly Imperial Guardsmen, is exciting! They are the lowest of the low in the Warhammer 40k universe and it would make for some great RPGing, watching players figure out how to complete their mission without being hacked to death!
Eldritch Horror: Strange Remnants - Another mini-expansion for Eldritch Horror, which is one of my favourite boardgames. Not much to say about this, other than more stuff just makes for more ways to die horribly, go insane and be generally pummelled into a paste by unimaginable horrors.
---------------------------------
I've resisted buying these things for monetary reasons and time constraints, but I aim to be able to get all of these relatively soon!
An honourable mention goes to Talisman: Highlands expansion. Mostly for completeness reasons. My gaming group are keen to play an epic Talisman game with all 4 corners to explore.
