I bought Pandemic a few weeks ago and have played a few games with various people. I like it a lot. I'm not used to playing a cooperative board game, though. It feels weird working together with the people you're playing with.
Small World is next on my shopping list. I've heard some good things about that one and it looks very involved. I picked up the box at the store and it was pretty heavy compared to other games.
I'm trying to start a weekly game night on the weekend. I would do it during the week, but I work evenings when everybody else I know is off work. I bought a cheap 48" round folding table to start things off with. If the game night takes off, I hope to upgrade to a nice wooden table.

Cosmic Encounter seems like a fun game but I don't have enough people to play with regularly.
My friend finally remembered to order my delayed birthday present - the Fantastic Four expansion to Legendary, and the new Spider-Man expansion is out in America today so I'll be getting that as soon as it appears on our shores.

It would probably be a poor fit for RPGs because those involve lots of talking and writing things down. I think this is better suited for games that rely almost entirely on the behavior of game pieces, e.g. tokens, boards, cards, etc. So, Settlers of Catan would be doable. A paper RPG like D&D, probably not.
What did you think? I don't really like it that much, it feels so draining by the end of it I'm wiped.
It does actually do a good job of bringing the tone across, because you can make deals and completely backstab your allies.
I got the Fantastic Four expansion for Legendary yesterday and played a couple of games, got crushed by Galactus
. The Spider-Man expansion is arriving Monday too.
Every time we play it seems I wind up as the Lanisters. I guess that means they are the good guys.

No, I haven't played it. Haven't played any wargames actually.
From what I've heard it seems to be on the lighter side of war games.
I ordered Star Trek Fleet Captains the other day. I can't wait for it to arrive. It's been described as "Star Trek in a box," and I watched a few video reviews and playthroughs and it seems so cool

I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before, given that it was released three years ago. 
But it looks interesting so I might check it out. I'm not sure I like the price, though ($60-70 on Amazon for the main game and the Romulan expansion is apparently not available).
