Try Puerto Rico and Agricola.

Puerto Rico is faster to learn, and faster to play.

Agricola is way more in depth. The variety of Occupations and Minor Improvements make the game different every time. This game takes a while to learn how to play well, and can take a fair bit of time to play a game as well. So satisfying to win.

I'd also echo praise for Dominion and recommend starting with the Dominion Big Box.

Is the Big Box edition for $54 a worthwhile compilation?

u/nickpickles · 7 pointsr/boardgames

Wow, we have a similar taste in games, Awesome. I can't believe you actually expect me to suggest just one game with soo many great games that I have played... and so many more I have yet to play.

1st off some games you don't own but are on your wishlist and you should definitely get asap, since they are the go to games my friends and I play when we get together. Given they are on your wishlist I assume I don't have to describe them to you. Lords of waterdeep, a fun easy to play D&D game, Star trek Catan if you want something a bit different from regular Catan, and Dominion.

Ok. Now games you don't know about... How about a couple categories and 1 game per cat. so I don't ramble on too much.

Fast and Easy: King of Tokyo You and your friends are monsters trying to take over Tokyo. Roll some dice, attack your friends, but mostly just try to survive till the end. It's easy to set up, learn, and get going not so easy to win.

Slow, Complicated, strategic, with lots of pieces, and fun, but may make you want to stab a friend by the end: Twilight Imperium This game take a long time to play... seriously like a whole day. So maybe not the best for a board game night. If you can get a day with friends to play it, I would say it's worth the time. Basically you build a universe, pick a race to play as, and then proceed to form alliances or start wars with everyone else. With a healthy dose of backstabbing those alliances so you can win :p Use resources to build a fleet of ships and an army of troops then try to take over all of space while defending all your new territory. Moves are turn based so your plot to take over a planet can be ruined by a friend blocking your path or crippling your fleet.

The only real downside is the time it takes to play the game. We usually have to set aside a saturday to play. Getting started around 11-noonish and finishing up around 6-7. That said nothing is quite as satisfying as moving an entire fleet of ships to take over everything owned by your neighbor.

oh I forgot to add SPPrincesa is the goddess of all things board games.

I decided to buy dominion. Do you think we can just start with the basic set or should we get the big box?

Don't discredit Dominion solely on it being a card game. It plays precisely like what you think of as a traditional board game. Also, you just can't beat this deal.

u/latetothetable · 1 pointr/boardgames

There already is a big box and I own it. But if I'm not mistaken according to popular opinion, these are not the best expansions.

Here ya go

Base game Dominion is not dull, unless it's all you have to play for 10+ games. If you really want to get a head start, get the Dominion Big Box, which is a steal considering the expansions themselves go for $20 and $30 a piece. (Or a nightmare, if you happen to hate Alchemy.)

Alternatively, for the same $60 you can get Dominion and an expansion for around the same price. I'd recommend starting with Intrigue.

We had the base game for quite a while and still managed to play many rounds before growing a bit tired. It's not that the base game is dull, it's that the game opens up so much more when there are more cards to choose from. The expansions really add a ton of replayability and, honestly, it's this knowledge that make people describe the base game as dull.

Unless, of course, you are referring to the theme. In this case, I can't help you, only to say that the theme is the least important thing about the game. It plays so well you won't even notice it.

Here's what I'd do if I had to rebuild a collection from scratch for $1k trying to have a wide variety of play styles:

7 Wonders $32.99
Agricola $45.79
Battlestar Galactica $39.97
Carcassonne $30.02
Carcassonne Inns & Cathedrals$15.71
Dixit $22.65
Dominion Big Box $69.18 Prosperity is one of the best expansions; Alchemy is not, but you're pretty much getting it for free in this set.
Eclipse $61.49 It wouldn't be a board game library without a 4X game, and I think Eclipse is the best currently.
Eldritch Horror $40.47 - I love Arkham Horror, but Eldritch streamlines a lot of the fiddly rules of the original.
Formula D [$41.96] (http://www.amazon.com/Asmodee-FDUSASM-Formula-D/dp/2914849648/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1395757676&sr=1-1&keywords=formula+d)
Gloom $17.98
Guillotine $13.52
King of Tokyo $30.19
Love Letter $9.34
Memoir 44 $47.43
No Thanks! $9.98
Pandemic $31.65
Power Grid $32.27
Puerto Rico [$31.20] (http://www.amazon.com/Rio-Grande-Games-195RGG-Puerto/dp/B00008URUT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395756360&sr=8-1&keywords=puerto+rico)
Race for the Galaxy $24.11
Resistance, The $17.99
Roborally $37.49
Settlers of Catan $37.99
Telestrations $19.99 Awesome and funny party game. My friends and I eventually tire of Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity, but seldom do so with this.
Ticket to Ride $37.24
Ticket to Ride 1910 Expansion $18.21
Tsuro $24.22
Twilight Struggle $49.98
Village $35.47
Wits & Wagers $19.99

That comes up to $946.47; room for a couple more expansions or another game.

Check out rahdo's run through of The Great Zimbabwe to see if it's something you'd be interested in. It's at the top of my own list for games I want that are too expensive to buy for myself (it's over $100 due to rarity).

Maybe also take a look through his other run-throughs to see if there are other games you and your SO would enjoy (rahdo specializes in 2p games, which he plays with his wife).

Some other ideas:

Tash-Kalar, a fantasy themed 2 player abstract game where you create patterns on a board to "summon" creatures and score points.

Dominion and some expansions (maybe even the Big Box version). Dominion is a deck building game, taking inspiration from the pre-game effort of CCGs, which may appeal to your fiancé.

Escape, a real-time co-op game which you may enjoy since you list two co-ops (this one is very different though).



Congrats on your upcoming nuptials!
