Played several games of Sorry! Sliders tonight.
I can't get enough of this game. Very simple and fun and a great way to get my whole family engaged.
It was created by Heroscape's own Craig Van Ness, and as in Heroscape, I see a big potential for customization - especially with multiple boards.
Several sets could yield a Sorry! Sliders minature golf-type layout.
Heh, heh.
Here's an endless board my son and I created today. This was only possible with one set because I called Parker Bros. for replacement boards and received them today. My concern was with the light-colored rings on the yellow and green boards. If you look at the photo below, you can see they are not even on all sides. A bit frustrating, but even my replacement boards were off-center.
Someone on BGG.com realized that even the images in the rules sheet had off-center boards. Guess it's the nature of the beast, huh?
Also, my son and I recently played a dogfight with Series III Wings of War miniatures.

Thanks!
I don't own any of those games, but I have played Ticket to Ride.

Scrabble never goes too long without being set up at our house. Nor does Connect Four (not really a board game, but close enough).
On the subject of Ticket to Ride- I've only played the XBOX360 arcade version, but what fun. I totally plan on getting a 'hard' copy.
We have the "A Game of Thrones" board game and the expansion unopened... been sitting on the shelf for months. We really need to get that out and play it; excited about that one.

Pillars of Earth is one of my groups favorites. We usually aren't huge fans of Euros, but this one clicks with us for some reason. Dungeon Twister is great as long as you have two like minded, analytical players. It takes a good deal of tactical thought and can be a really solid game.
Recently I've been playing a ton of Tide of Iron. It's really hitting that sweet spot of depth just above Memoir '44 and below ASL. I've found it to be a really rewarding two player tactics game. Lots of fun.
I also just snagged Diplomacy while Barnes & Noble was having a clearance sale. I'm going to be playing that tomorrow night with a big group. I haven't played it since college and I'm looking forward to all the back stabbing and treachery that will surely ensue.

Glad to hear your comments on those two games. I'm really looking forward to them both.
I would LOVE to give Tide of Iron a shot. Not in the cards with the current group of options, though. Might have to wait until son grows up to have the chance.
I have over 500 board and card games (although I've been trading away some to get more Heroscape). You can take a look at what I own here:

Risk Godstorm & Acquire got them a couple of weeks ago 50% off from a local Go games! Also Settlers doesn't get old, also just picked up Age of Empires III & Beowulf a couple of days ago from my local Barnes and Noble at 50% off, can't wait to play Age of Empires heard a lot of good things.
Have played a couple games of Tomb and really enjoy it. Also have played Wow the Adventure Game which my kids know better than I since they play online. And of course Heroscape. My son created a nice simple 1on1 jungle map that we have been using. I am working on perfecting my Orc army (and Krug of course) and he is perfecting his knights stratagies. Tonight the kids are going over to their aunts house for a good ole game of Clue.

I love Clue. I'm a huge logic person, and Clue is the perfect game for that. I usually play the Master edition, which has 4 extra suspects, 2 extra weapons and a bunch more rooms.
We've been playing a lot of Sorry! Sliders. We play for at least an hour every time we pull it out. I think it's about time to play a game of Heroscape. It has been a while.
Clue, I always wanted to play when I was younger, but I could never get anyone to play. My 7 year old must have a knack for logic. She doesn't mark anything down on her notepad and she still does a pretty good job at figuring out "who done it". I don't know how she does it.

Mystery Mansion with my kid. Terrific old school MB game. Someday I'm going to get around to building custom rooms for it.
I want that game. Really badly.
I'd even settle for your copy.
Never heard of the game, but I like tile-laying mechanics.Mystery Mansion with my kid. Terrific old school MB game. Someday I'm going to get around to building custom rooms for it.
Looks fun!
That's another I'm mildly interested in playing.
Decent, huh?
You're never heard of Mystery Mansion?! Sorry, I'm sure a lot of people probably aren't familiar with the game, but it was one of my favs growing up. It's really nothing too ingenious. You're going from room to room looking for treasure chests via search cards. Once you find one, you have to take it outside in order to open it up. However, while some chests contain treasure... and others are empty!
DUN! DUN! DUNNNNNN! I'm sure you've gone over already, but here is the BGG.com page:

Only thing I never liked about the game is that the rooms are made out of flimsy cardboard, and don't deal very well with common wear-n-tear... or being stepped on by your younger brother.

For a game that basically requires you to move 2 spaces to win you will be amazed at how hard it actually is to do.
After playing it you will see that this is definielty a game that you can play with a bunch of adults only and it will get pretty cutthroat.
