First i have to say sorry for my poor english
 . I have the feeling you learn to understand english in germany, but not to write and speak...
I am addicted to boardgames. An addiction which nearly exploded since I am a BGG Member and member in a local gaming group. The Person which suffers most is my girlfriend *g*, which I love since nearly 7 years. Because there is no good day without gaming, she also has to play lots of games.
The "new boardgame detector"- comic stripe nearly make her cry of laughing. Could be taken direct out of our daily life...
In this list i like to collect the games she likes and I am trying to find the reason why she exactly like this games....
Be kind^^ it is my first list...

Nearly the first game we played. She really likes the pieces. And she has more luck in rolling dice than the devil himself.One Game (4 Players) she conquered the nearly the whole world map and the underworld. I think it was the last game of Risk-Godstorm I played...
my opinion: I hate risk. I hate dicefeasts....But she kills me if I sale it.

She hates Spaceships. She hates Star wars. So why she loves Magblast? Also a game of our "early" gaming period, I think she likes the "backstabbing" aspect and that nobody fires at girls in the first place, so she can kill the stupid boys which are firing at each other....
my opinion:
I played it in my nearly 1000 times and loved it. Today i think it is a good "filler" game to start an evening with, but a little to random for my taste...

One game every rpg or tabletopgamer in our region bought in the past years. She likes it, because there are funny moments and "nice" artwork and much randomness....
my opinion:
munchkin sucks. Bad game design. To less player interaktion. I nearly fall asleep when thinking to play it again...

We bought this game for our greece holiday. We played it for over 3 weeks (backpacking) every day, because it was the only game we had :-). We gambled which one of us will win the most times. The price was a big meal to cook. I won 75 to 32 and enjoyed the meals :-). Although I kicked her ass she really likes the game. Maybe because you can get your "enemy" on the nerves and enjoy his amazed phase if he flippes a medusa card...
my opinion:
still like it, but not a game I often mention to play...

She loves Tolkien. She really loves Tolkien. But why does she not love War of the Ring:
One simple Reason. I think nearly all girls hate complex rules, and i hate the rulebook.We played 3 times and at the first two times I made a military victory against Sauron. Maybe she should give it another chance, because she is soooo much better in gaming as 5 years ago...
my opinion:
bought the game. bought the expansion. nearly never played. When I am alone without her with a friend we play other games like hammer of scots. Hope to revive it soon.

She likes easy to learn games (like i mentioned before...) and really likes the theme of San Juan. Although i have nearly 400 games we do not play it as often as the game would deserve it...
my opinion:
it may not be often... but we like the same game hurraaay.

One of her favourite games. And I did not expect this...
It does not fit in here normal "sheme" of like a game or dislike it. But all the aspects of the game i thought she dislikes (market system, many numbers of the board....) she really loves...
when do we play powergrid again???
my opinion:
girls are strange... but I also love powergrid

She likes Jack the Ripper ( evil girl^^) since we played an oldschool point and click adventure (sherlock holmes vs jack the ripper). The theme is not really "gory ripper style", maybe she likes the game much more because of this. Bluffing seems one of the game mechanisms she likes most. But we will see....
my opinion:
The game has very good ideas. I think it is not 100% balanced but we play for the fun, don't we?

One game made by Stefan Feld, which is in the same gaming club like me. Because of this (and because many games are good he made) I bought it and played it with some of our friends. She loved it soooo much that we had to play it three times at the same evening... She likes it for the same reason i really like it: it is differend from the normal "euro" games and you have much to laugh when your opponents lose piece after piece...
my opinion:
one of the freshes games I played the last years. The gaming material is not the best, as usual by alea games...

First Reaction: THE BOAAAAAAAAAARD.
Second Reaction: The rules must be difficult...
Third Reaction: Nice trains....
She realllly likes it. We played with four persons and the map is to big for this. But there is much to do and the rules turned out to be not very difficult at all.
Next we will try Steam and Age of Steam because we are normally less than 5 players.

The chaos. The burning and melting metal. It is random, you can push other people in dark holes. YES she really likes it.
my opinion:
love it to. One of the best "party" games ever...

First she really had a strange feeling when she first saw the game. But we played it with three art students and it was a total cool but very strange experience. With the right people she loves it.
my opinion:
very strange game which I enjoy even if there may be no chance of winning at all.
Dixit 2 is coming!

Was the classic game 3 years before on christmas. Three families visited my parents on the three days. Every one of them bought the game after this days... Lisa loves it. Stealing from other players always puts a smile on here face.
my opinion:
it sometimes is fun. BUT as i said i do not really like dice feasts...

Board Game: Agricola

Have I said she does not like complex games? Sometimes she really suprises me. She loves agricola. The theme and the meebles are one of her favourites. Although she does not like to slaughter her animals for food...
my opinion:
with the right "card drawing" rules at the begining of the game the only thing i do not like is killed and a excellent game comes out of the farm...

She studies restoration --> she loves the theme. Played it very often in the past. Had to train for a tournament and now I am sooo much better than any of our friends. Thats why we do not play it very often now...
my opinion:
first I hated the dice. But the more you play you see the only really sucking random element depends on the cards and not the dice are the problem. But I love it. Nice game to play..

Again... Spaceships? But she rally loves it. Much decicions to make and she often wins in the last round with a lucky draw...
my opinion:
really like the game and looking forward to the next expansion. Best played with two.

Again a "historical" theme. She loves it although she does not get any winning strategy until now (is there any in Ra? :-) ).
my opinion:
nice game. Always enjoy it although I also do not get a really good stratagy until today...

So many games are out today with a "trading theme".
What she really likes at that game is the negotiation aspect and the backstabbing and exploition you can do with other players.
my opinion:
I totally suck at this game. But really love it. I think negotiation is not my world....

Played it only twice (2 and 5 players) and really enjoyed it. Looks like Settlers of Catan ( which i do not like...) but is something totally different. Maybe 5 players is to much but she will play it again with 3 or 4 players. She really likes the Artwork and the chance of blocking areas from other players.
my opinion:
Great mechanisms. Great artwork. Really like the game and hope to play some more games of Breese in the future.

Negotiation. Yes she loves it. The new edition has very nice Artwork, which she also enjoys. The second aspect is the "nice girl" thing which i mentioned before. She always gets better prices with the other players than i am...
my opinion:
one of the best negotiation games I played so far...very nice.

She loves it because the rules are easy and you can play the game without thinking to much.
We also have the traveling edition.

We are still playing the first szenarios. She nearly always wins and really enjoys the game. But also she thinks in the future I will become to good for her and she will not play it anymore then (same reason we do not play go and chess anymore...)
my opinion:
no luck. perfect game ^^. The colors of the miniatures suck but that is nearly the only thing i do not like.

The same reason she likes Ingenious she likes this one. Easy rules. Some luck and you can play without thinking to much (concentrate of drinking your tea or coffee^^). Also the theme really fits for her.
my opinion:
It is playable. Much luck, less strategie. I wonder why soooo many girls seem to like this game...
