SF, F & H Games

Today over at my boardgaming blog I published an essay on the history of science-fiction & fantasy and how that's impacted board game design, particularly in the United States.

There's also a lit of what I think are the ten best genre games:

Is this going to be the gaming thread, or is this just for the blog article mentioned?

Generally, feel free to create a new thread for a new topic unless it follows naturally from the conversation already going on.

I hate to come off like the resident Dune-goober, but the Dune boardgame was truly awesome. Especially when you add the Tleilaxu rules and Spice Harvest. With a full table of players, there is so much deception and manipulation, and this great, cutthroat feeling to the whole affair. I adore it. It belongs on the Sci-fi side.

That being said, Starfarers of Catan is a pretty good game too.
