I'm excited for the new D&D board games that they're releasing, starting with Castle Ravenloft. It was just released, but I'll be waiting until September sometime to buy a copy. It's a co-op dungeon crawl with very stripped down D&D rules. You can complete a game in about an hour, which I'm happy about since I don't want to sit all afternoon and evening playing something too often.

Any other board game fans on CP? If so, what are some of your favorites? Axis & Allies still ranks at the top of my list, even if it does take a bloody day to set-up.
Stratego a pre-chess Napoleonic strategy game.

A North American intro to Chess that has now taken off. I keep introducing it to the kids here in Japan and they love it. Went to Manila and found 15 serious variants of the game. Metal figure to various genres.
