What game do you love and give ONE reason why it is different, cool, just fun...

Bloodbowl: I love the facts that your turn can end before you move some of your player. Everything you do is important since it can be the last thing you do this turn. (or the only thing you do this turn)

I like the card/board game ZOMBIES!!! because... Well... ZOMBIES!!!
Hellooooo?
It has Zombies.

Zombies = cool.

Plus, as part of that, it's a cooperative game where you are also fighting against your friends... and you can sabotage them.

I like Talisman because I can get my WHOLE family to play it.
Shoot. At 5 years old, my daughter understood it enough to play!

I like Munchkin. If you've played it, you know why.

Lastly, I love this little card game called "Family Business."
It's a card game based on the Mob & each player is in charge of a crime syndicate. The object is to kill all of the members of the other players' crime families. Great fun!

Hordes. Pure brutality and no room for whiny sissy girly men. Only game were you feel violated after it's all said and done. It truly fits the old Dakka saying, "play better next time".

the game: Puerto Rico
the reason: forcing opponents to make bad choices because all of the other options would cause the player to their left to build and the player to their right to lock them out of shipping....

.... always choose Corn... ALWAYS!

Infernal Contraption.

Not my favourite game, but it has a wonderful edge - super-fast learning curve. Everyone I've dealt a hand to has figured out the mechanic quickly enough to do really nasty things before the end of that first game - including my little sister, girlfriend, high-as-a-kite-pot-enthusiast-friends, everyone. And they all enjoy it!

cop-out answer needed here. My fav is any gae I play with the "regulars" down at my FLGS. We've got a great bunch of regular gamers there, and that garden has been tended with much knowledge, care, and the occasional prunig; by the owner.
