A good gateway game to the "Euro" style board game. There is a tournament every May long weekend in Edmonton. Other such games include Ticket To Ride, Pirate's Cove and Carcassonne. Settlers is a bit too luck dependent for some - the dice can go cold for you.

Beyond that, try Puerto Rico, El Grande, Princes Of Florence, Power Grid, Race For The Galaxy.

There are some great games stores in Calgary - The Sentry Box and Revolution.
