Carcassonne.
Escape the Curse of the Temple.
Ticket to Ride.
Rumble in the Jungle.

I was nearly banned from Warhammer shop for saying Escape the Curse of the Temple is the board game ever. Had to backpedal rapidly to "best family cooperative game".

DS took issue with the blurb on the back of a Chess book, that said chess was the best game ever invented. He reckons it's Frustration.

Pandemic
Pandemic Season 1
Pandemic Season 2
Carcassone
Agricola
Isle of Skye
Camel Up
Machi Koro
Code Names.

Pandemic no 1 in our house, the two legacy games have been amazing to play. Throwing away the game when you have finished is tough though.

Firefly!

But you have to be a fan of the TV series really to get it.

Ooh Firefly is great! You have to set aside a whole evening to play it though, and it’s MASSIVE.
