About this list:

When you think board games do you really think BORED games? Not with Eurogames! These designer or Eurogames from Germany and other parts of Europe leave you wanting more, rather than wishing it would end. In fact, after you've played a few Eurogames, you may never play Monopoly again!

Description

I love Reiner Knizia's games. This one is a little more involved than some of the others, but it is a wonderful Eurogame. It involves building civilizations through tile laying. In a great twist, the number of points in your weakest category at the end becomes your score.

Ingenious: Travel Edition

First to recommend

Description

This travel edititon is designed for 2 person play, making it easy to bring along whereever you go. It's a tile laying game where consecutive dots of the same color earn points. Sounds easy.... and it is, but that doesn't mean it isn't challenging and fun!!! Simple mechanics, great game play.

Zooloretto | BoardGame

First to recommend

Description

This is a great family game - players build their own zoo and attract visitors, but they have to build carefully - if you aren't careful you'll end up with too many animals and no where to put them! Ages 8 and up.

Description

this game is quickly becoming a favorite among 2 person games. It is a great deduction game where one player is the inspector and has to ferret out who among the 8 characters on the board is Jack the Ripper, through a series of questions as the characters get moved around the board.
