I am starting a gaming group on my island.
I have a big space, and am hoping to slowly expand into a big bi-weekly event.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Peace

I Think I will have around 15 people the first night. Not sure if I want more, but either way, I am hoping to play this game as people come in.

it seems like a game anyone can understand, and new people can be quickly introduced to the game.

The board game a lot of people have played before, or atleast seen on the shelves on our little 10 thousand person island. (not much here, but settlers is for sale in 2 stores for 60 dollars).
crazy

I also like that its fast and high energy, and easy to teach.

Its my wife's favourite, and she said she would teach it, so it will come. Also I know most the people can play it because we taught them already.

4. Board Game: Pandemic: On the Brink [Average Rating:8.15 Unranked] [Average Rating:8.15 Unranked]

I gave this game to two people this year, who were getting into games with their families. I think atleast one of them will come, and I know they haven't seen the expansion.
Also I think my friend Melissa will be able to help teach this game.

I think Co-op gaming will intrigue everyone on my little hippy island. Hehe, though we did have one friend quit recently because the thought of abandoning people to go for the cure was too repulsive. hehe, who said the theme wouldn't offend people.

I bought this game 4 months ago, I don't have anyone to play it with, but I am gonna just set it with the pile of games and see who's interested. Also... I will converse with the people who liked pandemic to see who might be interested in a new kind of co-op game.

Definitely won't be played, but I think its important to have the future represented.

We have introduced this game to half the people expected, so we might even play it. I find it super easy to teach, and play. It's fun even if you aren't doing well. It has probably the most attractive theme I can offer my organic friends and though I haven't pimped mine yet, I think it looks awesome.

I like that I can say we have one of the most popular games in the world there. Its a good conversation piece.

My newest game, won in a golf tournament. Also its the newest game available on our island.

Kinda interested in playing it.

I have never been into party games, I wonder now if that's just because they took away from my chance to play games like risk and axis and allies when I was younger. Either way, its all about fun now, so hopefully this lives up the hype.

Its the only dexterity game I have. It will be set up before people arrive. Kinda hoping people will just play as they're waiting around for another game to end or something. I wish I had some of the expansions, to make it look more impressive.

I am thinking this will be the game I will suggest to monopoly kids to try. Heck it involves money... I really like this game. The map is also a familiar look.

so... in the past year or so I might have got all the intro games... guess I should play them. I like this game, haven't played it in awhile, so I think I will play this with a group of new comers.

I like this game a lot, its the most combative game I have, and a lot of people relate hardcore gaming to that. So I thought for all the risk players this will be the game I suggest.

I am hoping to find a friend to play this with more. My wife isn't interested. Never played with more than 2, so that could be fun too. I think its the most complicated game I have so... I will need to feel out who will play with me.
