Dungeons & dragons

A decent starter that isn't quite as good as the first one in 5e, a somewhat abbreviated return to Dragonlance, and a really kick-ass board game that's an innovative hybrid light war game/adventure game.

3000 Scoundrels

A great weird western designed with restraint, concision, and novelty.

Dungeons & Dragons Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel and Spelljammer

A pretty great collection of short adventures written by non-white European authors and a sort of so-so return to a classic D&D setting.

Blitz Bowl, Lost Relics, Combat Arena

Blitz Bowl is one of the best games of the past decade, the other two here are somewhat lesser versions of better titles previously released by Games Workshop.

Arrakis: Dawn of the Fremen

Another EON masterpiece, but one that has been relatively unsung.

Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness

An awesome intro to Horus Heresy- if you are OK with the cost and the heavier rules.

Summoner Wars

Even better than it was 14 years ago- one of the best games in its genre.
