What games do you often bring to the FGC that never quite make it to the table ?

(6 months ago) I have several. St.Petersburg Puerto Rico (believe it or not!) Automobile Attika Settlers of Catan Medici I would have included my five year shrink-wrapped copy of Domaine, but we played that recently. (It had been unopened so long, that the elastic bands holding the board bits had slightly indented the cardboard!) |

If you ever fancy a game of st Petersburg we play it at least a couple of times a month. |

I think St Petersburg is a fantastic game, as long as you burn the Mandatory Observatories :) Never lost if ive had observatory, never won if my opponent have had it :) |

Lies! I won my last game of StP being the only person who didn't get an Observatory. But I'll agree it's overpowered, and would have bought one had the turn order made it possible. |

Race for the Galaxy, as there's only about 6 of us who'll play it (me, Kara, Fish, Graham, Rich, Clair). Similar problems with Caylus too - I love it but am in the minority again. I brought Power Grid for a while but stopped as it wasn't getting played and is a bit unwieldy with 2/3 expansions. |

I think the (ridiculously over-priced and over-packaged) St P expansion increases the cost of the obervatory? |

I used to have Shogun and Supremacy in the boot of the car in case there was nothing better to do, but there was no room for the pushchair, so I had to take them out. And Shogun sucks a bit, to be honest. |

I love RfTG and Power Grid, but being in several RPGs over the past year, as well as the Formula Dé season curtailed a lot of my board-gaming... |

- Greenhithe. Its between Dartford and Gravesend. We can see the thames (which is less romantic than it sounds :p) and the dartford crossing from our windows at the top floor :)

Most of my games collection, sadly. There never seem to be any takers for anything I bring so I don't bother anymore. The ones I have brought only to receive the thumbs down are:
Sky Galleons of Mars
Duel of Ages
Guerilla
Air Force
War and Peace.
Duel of Ages has been vetoed on the grounds that it didn't score well on Board Game Geek and with the last 3 on the list I've heard from some that they are flawed Avalon Hill games with incorrect maps or something like that.
