10. I've still got a copy of Avalon Hill's "Machiavelli"
which is based on "Diplomacy". I could never get anyone to play it with me.

There was a time when I knew some people who were into board games - we used to play AH's "Civilization" and a couple of other games quite regularily. But people moved away, got married, got careers, etc. Then computers came along, and the face to face social interaction of a board game took a back seat to a tv monitor.
