In answer to your question in the other thread, I think Forbidden Island is a great 'gateway' game. The narrative is really engaging and the co-op style makes it easy for new gamers to talk ask about strategy or advice. Carcassonne Hunters & gatherers is the other one I usually bring out for new gamers.
Are there any aspiring board game designers on here? A few friends and I have been having a monthly game design work shopping night, and more are always welcome.
