A Conversation for Great Board Games
Really want to know more about board games?

I have found the resources available at http://boardgamegeek.com/namebrowse.htm
to be valuable. This site lists thousands of games, and if you go to one it will generally not only provide an image of the game or box, and a potted history and explanation of the game, but also lists of similar games, or lists the game has been included on (eg 'games we played when we were 10') 
These lists are part of a forum where further comments and queries can be added, a bit like h2g2.
