Pandemic is a pretty good cooperative game as well, although we only win against it about half the time.

And for a while there, every time we played, we discovered something we did wrong the previous time--lots of rules. But I still love it--the horror part, the theming and flavour text, and the cooperative (us versus the game) aspect. I like it but it takes…all…day.

We've played it a couple of times, but I can't quite decide if I like it or not. Uh, yeah, I’m intimidated by Arkham Horror as well!

Never tried Race for the Galaxy, but I heard it was good. Of course, there's the board game to really scare them off...Arkham Horror (love it). ;-) Hehehe. I love Dominion!

We've got card games like Dominion and Race for the Galaxy, but I'm pretty sure those aren't for beginners :) I’ll have to check those out at the local game store (there’s a real good one about 40 min. away).

But other possibilities (in the card genre): Fluxx, Aquarius, Bang!. I'm sure there are simple board games to start people off slowly--for some reason, I'm just thinking of card games.

And thanks for the advice - I'll have to try some of your tactics :) I've never tried Apples to Apples - I'll have to take a look and see how it works as a 'gateway game'... I'm glad I'm not alone in my love of games :) Hey Kendall. Nice to hear from you!
