There are plenty of good games worth a looksee. My partner and I routinely play these:

Coliseum:
Takes about 20 minutes to explain, generally easy to play, it's a game for up to five players where you compete to put on the best show in Ancient Rome. Involves trading a lot of lions and gladiators.

Dinosaur Island
Takes about 30 minutes to explain, compete with four players to build your own version of Jurassic Park.

Exploding Kittens
Takes about 5 minutes to explain. Simple card game which is basically Russian Roulette...with kittens.

Kill Dr Lucky
Takes about 10 minutes to explain. Basically reverse Cluedo where you're all working to, well, Kill Dr Lucky.

Merchants and Marauders
Takes about an hour to explain but it's probably the best pirate board game out there.

Codenames - Every single person I’ve introduced this game to has had a blast, even if they don’t play board games. It’s a fantastic game for parties or small groups. It’s a smart word game where you have to give one-word clues to link your target words for your team while avoiding accidentally giving a hint that suggests your opponent’s words. It plays best with at least four, but you can go as high as you want because teams don’t get any advantage from the player count. Very easy to learn, quick to play, creative, affordable, portable... just all-around great game. Otherwise, there's an Android game inspired by Codenames on Apknite. You can download and play before deciding to buy it.

One of my favourites was Axis & Allies, was like a risk game based during the second world war

I remember Axis & Allies. Had a great time playing the game with friends. Catan and Dominion also come to mind.

Great thread to revive!
Highly recommend anyone on a money saving gaming kick go and order Lords of Xidit from Amazon - it's about £12 and is on par with some of our £50 games in terms of size, quality and game play.

What?

If you're going to just copy text from some website and present it as your own opinion then you should at least try to remove the evidence.

Anyone would assume you're just trying to increase your post count for some reason...
