Thanks, that's why I started it. My first group (the group that made the most progress game wise) was one I felt could benefit from some strategy gaming...and many of those kids have come back and still rank that as their favorite experience in school. Problem solving and thinking of strategies is something a lot of schools don't teach well.

Back to the topic, if we are taking main stream gaming, then Risk is obviously up there. Monopoly has always been a favorite of mine, as well as the simple classic Checkers. My wife is hooked on something called SuperCheckers. It's pretty cool.
