Go
All tutored up! (I still suck.) --- SteveKillen 2010-04-22 18:02:21
According to BPT, everything one could possibly need to learn go
Go match records with people in meatspace
RISK
http://warfish.net/: play-by-email RISK, with map and rules variants galore. Send SteveKillen an email if you want to join a game!
I'm currently designing a /WarOfTheRing map for warfish using Chris Guerette's excellent PDF map of Middle Earth.
Nethack
An ASCII dungeon crawl that is easy to win...once you know how to play. (The fun's in the learning.) You can play it on your computer alone, but why do that when you can play it on http://nethack.alt.org/? PuTTY is a good Windows client to connect with.

Settlers of Catan
Catan's great. I haven't explored the add-ons yet, though.
Carcassonne
A fast-paced tile placement game.
Bridge
More of an intimation of a hint of an inkling of an urge to to learn to play than any concrete desire yet. Anyone up for it?
Canasta
O Canasta, game of my peoples. (Well, my family, anyway.)
Talisman
The magical quest game. Is the the one that will get SidheRa into boardgaming? Only time will tell.
