I'm also a "new addict" to BGG. I've always enjoyed playing board games with my family growing up and in college my friends and I had a serious Risk addiction. This past december a friend was over visiting my girl friend and I and he saw my old Risk set and asked if we could all play. My girlfriend had never played before but ended up loving it. After that we started having nightly Risk battles just the two of us and I even bought her a copy of original Risk for Christmas. Shortly after Christmas I went to out local game store with the intention of picking up a new strategy game that we could play besides Risk. That trip resulted in the Purchase of Power Grid. My girl friend, and all of our friends loved it. After that I was hooked too, and started reading BGG daily reading all sorts of reviews and geek lists.
Since then I have picked up Carcassonne, Dominion, San Jaun, Pandemic, and Imperial. We have even created a game group that meets every Friday that has grown to four couples. My best friend and his fiancée even picked up their own copies of Pandemic and Power Grid. Pandemic is a great game for anyone. I've played it with at least fifteen different people and they have all been impressed, but right now our favortie game has to be Imperial. If you can find a copy of this one you absoluelty must. It's a very deep experience, anything can happen as the control of the various countries changes between players. Imperial will be on our groups table for quite some time to come.
