Default Re: Favorite board games

When I try to pick a favorite boardgame from my collection, I usually go with Avalon Hill's _Merchant of Venus_. The designer started out trying to make a game about the 16th-17th century Spice Trade, but found that it was easier to get the sense of exploring unknown lands seeking exotic trade goods by switching to an SF setting.

Of games that are still easy to find, my current favorite is probably _Carcassonne_.
