For the beginner, Citadels is an easy to grasp game of city building. Each turn sees players building new establishments and taking on different roles within the building committee. To add additional strategy, the game comes with the advanced rules and expanded city cards.

For the more experienced, Cave Troll offers a deeper initial level of strategy. To win, players must decide which of their treasure-seeking party will go into the cave. Each member of the party has a different ability and placement rules. Ultimately, the player who can use the special abilities best, will be crowned winner.

For the expert, Red November offers a wealth of strategy. Players must work cooperatively to save the sinking submarine, the Red November. Every turn sees a new disaster arrive on the sub, and the gnomish crew must work together to overcome each obstacle. This game calls for good teamwork, and risk management.

When looking for a game, look at the back of the box. Before you say "Well, duh!" there is a special graphic on the back that can help you make the decision. Down towards the bottom of the box is a small design with three images on it. The images tell you the age recommended for the game, the number of people that can play the game, and the length of time a game can go. These are all pretty important when determining what game to pick. If your group of friends is pretty small at one gathering, a game for 2-4 players can be great, giving everyone a chance to jump in and play. On the other hand, if your game group is pretty big, then looking for a game 2-8 or even bigger would be a priority. The other thing to consider is how long you have to play. If you are grabbing a game to take to work and play with some coworkers at lunch, you want to find one that is 30-45 minutes long. If the game is for your game night, then 1-2 hours can be great. Overall the theme is what is going to make the game stand out. Choose a setting that strikes you as fun. Do you want to be a nomad clan traveling through the desert? Or would you rather be goblins trying to convince the Overlord that the failures were entirely not your fault? No matter what, remember to have fun.
