Yeah it's easy to gang up on someone in Settlers. This maybe a good alternative though:

This seems a lot like what's that game called where you think of possible definitions of random obscure words? I pwn them in that game too. They're all so incredibly easy to read and it's easy enough to figure out what the word roughly means that I can pretty much score points on every turn.

Balderdash; that game is great.

Settlers, however, may be the best board game in existance. Its not really that complicated, and its fun as hell. Strategy is a big part, but enough luck to let new players have a chance.

Another cool game to play is Acquire.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/prod/acquire

You place tiles on the board to build up companies that you can then buy stock in. When a tile is place that connects two companies, the one with less tiles is merged into the larger. If you have stock in the smaller company, you can get cash or shares in the larger. If you have stock in the larger, it's now worth more (the stock is valued based on how many tiles it has.) Whoever has the most money/stock value at the end wins. My descriptions probably sounds a bit complicated, but it's really pretty easy to play.

No it's not like that at all. You don't have to be a vocab genius.

Everyone gets a hand of seven red apple cards that are nouns like Michael Jackson, tornado, Tobacco Companies, My Hair etc.

Everyone takes turns being the judge. The judge randomly puts out an adjective green apple card like zany, wet, puffy, cute, comical etc.

The other players pick one of their own noun cards that best matches the adjective card and anonymously give it to the dealer. The dealer shuffles them up and picks the best match and awards the set to whoever gave that particular noun card.

Then everyone draws back up to 7 and the next person is judge. The first to collect a predetermined number of sets wins.

For example, say the judge puts out a green apple that says 'Kinky'. You turn in a red apple that says 'Chains' or 'My Hair' if the judge has kinky hair. If the judge likes your answer, you'll get that set.

It may sound kind of lame but people love it. I used to run a couple of game stores and it was always a sure fire hit.

Part of the fun is trying to figure out what card will appeal to the judge.

I'm also not sure how excited I am to try to teach them how to play a somewhat complicated game.

There is this new game going around that I saw on TV. Its call 'Texas Hold'em Poker' and apparently it's really easy since the only thing you do is say "all-in" and then flip your cards up and see if you win. Looks fun, I think I'll try it myself.
