It seems as if most everyone plays minecraft! I'm also disappointed you didn't put pokemon on the list! There would be 9001 votes for it by now!

Re: What well-known games do FIRSTers play?
I suppose the only "well-known" games I play are Mario and Pokemon. Though, I think Dragonquest should have made the list. I guess most of my other games are considered less then well-known.

Re: What well-known games do FIRSTers play?
I find it strange that the higher numbers on the list represent games people DON'T play.

Re: What well-known games do FIRSTers play?
Ticket to Ride playable on any flat platform of adequate size. This is a wonderful board game that has a good mix of strategy with just enough luck to keep it exciting. it is much more simple to explain than RISK or Settlers of Cattan (5-10 minutes), but has great depth of strategy both offensive and defensively. Game last approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour. Very fun from 2-5 players.

Not quite as strategic as Settlers, but pretty entertaining is Polarity. Basically, you've got to use magnetic fields to lean magnets against other magnets, and as the board starts to fill up you start getting unintended consequences as the fields begin to interact. It's great to play with a lot of people, it has suspense kind of like Jenga. (It's also fun to just play with the magnets)

Here's a video of it on youtube, it is kind of hard to explain without a board.
