I am HUGE fan of boardgames. I grew up playing them and had a great group of friends that also enjoyed them. Well, my friends have all moved away and I get a hankerin' every now and again to play board games, Since I am not an "outgoing person", I look to my PC for help

My list (thus far):

Rail Empires: Iron Dragon - Need to buy (no longer supported or available, I think)

Rail Baron - Need to buy

Empire Builder - Need to buy

Acquire - free DOSBox Game

San Juan - free card version of Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico - free

Modern Art - free

Settlers of Catan I bought from Microsoft, but I think it is free on the MSN Games site, maybe?

St. Petersburg - free created in German, but has an English patch

Most of these are free games. Rail Baron, Empire Builder, and Rail Empires: Iron Dragon I purchased.

Rail Baron and Empire Builder are from the same company and I have some issues with their "licensing."

The AI ranges drastically for each game

Rail Empires: Iron Dragon is the worst AI I have come across. Too many times, a computer player will sit in one spot (at the end of their track line) even though they have the money to keep building. Also, the AI has a tendency to forgo a winning delivery for a more lucrative, further away delivery.

What board games have you found to play on your PC and what do you think of them?

Risk is fun on the PC, more fun than on the Table Top (some games I played in college would take the entire weekend)

Monopoly is fun on the PC too, hard to get people to play that game due to the length of time it takes to play it.

I tried Life, but that game is not the same on the PC as it is on the Board. In fact, the new board version of it is not the same as it used to be.

The Catan Games seem to have some promise.

Here is a nice list of some games I had not heard of:
