Since moving to Carlisle I've not playing any board games regularly. The only chance I've had is when I've gone south to see friends and family. Because of this I often feeling a longing to sit round a table with mates and enjoy some quality gaming time!
There are a couple of games in particular that are looking tempting to me at the moment, due to being easy to pick up and play and hopefully to be playable with people who are not into games or big game fans.
King of Tokyo/New York - King of Tokyo has been around for a few years now and looks like a great, very simple dice game where each player takes a monster and tries to terrorise Toyko. King of New York came out more recently and has a slightly more in depth gaming experience, but is supposedly still very easy to play.
Sentinels of the Multiverse - I think I've mentioned this one in the past (quite a long time ago actually), but I like the look of this game's simple card game mechanics and interesting use of different decks, which is something I quite like using in my own games. I've heard some compelling criticism for the game, which fundamentally states that the game doesn't have enough interaction between players to be properly co-operative and it can get overwhelmingly complex with different damage types and amounts all piling up,but I'm still intrigued by it...
[ edit - corrected the name of Sentinels! I always make this error... ]
