Great Board Games can suck you into a world where you are crawling through the darkest dungeon to running a small empire. Many people expect board games to be fairly simplistic, one sided and often boring as they haven't been exposed to much beyond the typical department store $20 game. Some people get freaked out by some deep board game experience because of the complicated rules or length of play. I love finding board games that can provide a really great experience but be accessible by my lesser geek friends.
Games of Wonder seems epically suited to the task of making board games that have high replay ability, are totally fun and are accessible enough to interest...

I love Small World. I particularly enjoy how it simulates time in an interesting way. Turns aren't minutes, hours or even years. They're generations. So good.
Hm seems like an interesting board game. Though when you said deep board game experiences I thought no farther then civilization. I agree with the "not very accessible". Me, my cousin and his brother spent over two days playing a single game of it. Didn't even come close to finishing and we're very experienced gamers yet still left dumbfounded at a few rules.
On and easier level but a fun board game we used to own was this x-men board game. I forgot what it was called. You picked what mutant you wanted to be and had powers and stuff. Was really interesting we lost a lot of parts to it over time.
Didn't know an X-Men game was around. Interesting. I guess most successful properties get a board game port at some point :D
ya it was a 90's board game. its old. Before all the commercialized movies. It was based off the original cartoon. Try and see if you cant find it online.
