There's a game I love, called Diplomacy. It's the simplest, yet most complex game ever.
The actual mechanics are really straight forward, the complexity comes from dealing with the other players.
You can't win alone, but only one person can win!
The only problem with the game, is it really needs a weekend to play it properly! So I have only played it F2F a few times... |

"Ticket To Ride
Pandemic
Secret Hitler
Thunderbirds
Arkham Horror"
Pandemic is awesome too! But me and my friends have cracked it and it just seems a little easy now... 
Maybe we should be playing naked Pandemic..? |

"Forbidden island & desert are fun co-operative games
Settlers of Catan and Small World are the faves here at the moment"
Oooh I forgot the Forbidden games  |

I think 5 is probably the minimum number, with 6 being a good number.
One problem with the game is, as it takes so long, when someone is knocked out, it could be a bit boring waiting!
There are lots of variants and different maps available though, including a couple of games designed to work faster. |

I have a cupboard full of them. Next time you visit, you can choose
I like chess and draughts, monopoly, Game of Life and silly ones like mousetrap and frustration.

We have some fabulous house rules for monopoly for naughty fun!
You have to kiss another player passing go, persuade your gaoler to let you out if you go there, and landing on free parking costs an item of clothing |
