AmunRe, for example, blends game mechanics with theme better than many "designer" or "euro" board games. Check out boardgamegeek.com to see what I'm talking about.

Knizia's games are an easy sell for me. I have most of these iPhone apps, and I'll be checking out Topas very soon. I was happy to see TA wrote this article!

Anyway, I want to recommend Knizia's "Tigris and Euphrates" and "Ra". I think that T&E is his best board game, and boardgamegeek.com agrees with me. :) I like Agricola, but don't much care for Puerto Rico.

Talking to him he seems like he's always thinking, and coming up with ideas, I don't want to be a fanboy about it, but putting his name on a game will pretty much lock my purchase.

Might have to check some of those games out now. I've played Amun Re (in the picture), but after playing Agricola and Puerto Rico there is almost no reason to play it. :)
