WOOT for Axis and Allies! I have not played the actual board game forever. I havean old version for the PC, it was terrible.

Is there an AA club in the Des Moines area or something where I can play the game?

Fluxx (it is a card game, does that count? or does it need a new thread?)

I know it doesn't count in this thread, but I've played drinking Fluxx, which is basically just constant drinking (for every new rule, and goal card played).

Sequence - good for larger groups that are intimidated by more intense games
Cribbage - or is this more of a card game?
Chess

It'd be pretty awesome to set up a big A&A during a tailgate. Except probably not enough time to finish the game. And also would not be conducive to serious drinking. So maybe it's the opposite of a good idea.

On a related note, I spent a ton of money to buy Middle Earth Quest, spent a couple days getting familiar with the rules, and when I went to explain the rules to my wife and son, they looked at me like a tentacle was growing out of my forehead. So I haven't played it, but it seems like it would be cool.

It sounds like you are trying to start a CF game night, I might be interested.
