Sticking only to those I still own and have available. Or the list would be way way too long. I have very few of my childhood games left, though I tried to keep them. Most were thrown away in house moves as irrelevant by other family members or stolen from long term storage. I am also not including the boardgame series I bought for bitz, even though I currently have a near intact copy (Darkworld).
Tri-Tactics
Its important to get a version with the older unit card artwork. A firm childhood favourite. My copy is of the edition above but was bought on eBay as a replacement.
Alley Cats
Still in reasonable condition. This 1976 edition, its one of very very few games that survived the house moves and purges.
Monopoly
Deluxe edition, London street names, no frills early artwork copy but an 80's manufacture. Still in excellent condition.
Squad Leader
Much loved much used, somewhat worn but in good condition. Arguably the best of the Avalon Hill games. I didnt bother with any expansions, and would only haver done so if the British were included prior to adding in additonal levels of complexity. The game got messy after Cross of Iron, less complicated than it looked, but I got put off with turret counters and six or seven different stats per counter. So much better with three.
Conquistador
In perfect condition, mostly because it was collected but never used.
Guns of August
Occasionally used, still in excellent condition.
Freedom in the Galaxy
Thinly disguised Star Wars game. Avalon Hil version with heavy card map.
Third Reich
Very complex ruleset, but with genius in its design.
Circus Maximus
A fun simulation by Avalon Hill. Quite rare and very popular.
4th Reich
Pisstake on the 70's WW2 hex & counter games culture.
Warrior Knights

The
GW copy. I am supposed to have Chainsaw Warrior and Dungeonquest somewhere also, but this is the only confirmed
GW game to have survived. Except for:
Battle For Armageddon
Not a bad rehash of Operation Barbarossa, and a decent tactical boardgame, with some fun twists. And my newer addition:
Space Hulk
Still in shrink, this was the last copy available in Games Workshop
UK. I convinced the store manager to let me put a deposit down on it. It will remain in its wrapper unitl I kniow exactly what I will do with it. I wnt to keep it but will only do so if I promise to paint it up properly. Otherwise its a fund of ready cash should I need that. Don't ask, I wont sell unless on my own timing.
War of the Ring
Very good game, handled the ring quest and military elements with skill. I wish I had the SPI game of the same name, I see it on eBay every now and then.
Divine Right
New and unused. I am looking to buy the original.
Descent: Journeys In The Dark plus expansions
A flawed gem. I eagerly await the second edition. I have most current expansions excepting only Tomb of Ice and the second campaing boxset after Road To legend.
Shogun
Now sold under a different name. Very very good boardgame.
Kingmaker
Excellent game, a firm favourite. Get the Ariel or Gibson version not the Avalon Hill.
Marine 2002
Very good game from Yaquinto. It was left at my parental home years ago, the pieces were placed in ziplock bags and the box was thrown away to make space in storage.
Picketts Charge
Sadly suffered the same fate. Both are still playable though.
Junta
Excellent and well packaged game, great fun. Deboxed and bagged up.
Web and Starship
One of the best intentionally three player boardgames. Deboxed and bagged up.
Tet Offensive
Good size boardgame, large counters simple rules. More colour and less hex and counter. Good balanced game nonetheless. The img above may be small but the game itself is huge. Yes, its intact.
Civilization
A very good game so long as you mod the rules. A poor setup at start can cripple game balance.
Civilization
The other game of the same name. Predates Sid Meiers computer game. The only game on this list I don't have access to at the moment but has been seen in a box in the attic.
National Geographic On Assignment
With my other copy of Civlization. Very nicely packaged game.
Risk Godstorm
My prefered copy of Risk and the only one I own. Interesting background good balanced map and good alternative full rules. Normally we use this set to play Risk.
Succession Wars
The only Battletech boardgame I am counting here as a boardgame. I never use hexmaps to play Battletech and always considered it a miniatures ruleset. Another game that needed house rules to be playable.
Silent Death
Conversely this miniatures game we always played as a boardgame. I own
Overkill and
Black Guard expansion books also.
Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective
Not quite a boardgame, though it has a board map.
Taxi
Third edition copy. Fun game and a rare childhood survivor.
Much lamented losses include:
Magic Realm,
Cry Havoc and
Siege!,
Campaign,
Fast Attack Boats (Yaquinto),
The Fall of Rome (Yaquinto),
Eastern Front Tank Leader, Western Front Tank Leader, Dragon Pass, Leviathan, Interceptor, Centurion and
Prefect, especially
Prefect. Numerous childrens boardgames lost to time. Darkworld's sequel Village of Fear I dont want, but would want to loot another copy for bitz.
