Derek Carvers' Top Ten

Of course, with so many splendid games, the difference between their respective merits is often marginal.  Anyway, these are the games that I always look forward to playing and/or have had their good share of table-time.

 
In alphabetical order:
BRASS
BREAKING AWAY
DIE MACHER (but we play a hybrid version of the first and second editions)
DOMINANT SPECIES
KOGGE
LINES OF ACTION
POWER GRID
PUERTO RICO
REEF ENCOUNTER
TICHU
 
I pondered long over NEULAND, which I consider a perfect game.  However, it is now probably better known in a revised version that has destroyed its original elegant concept.  So I wouldn't wish to get the two versions confused.
 
I also accept that LINES OF ACTION was originally a set of rules in a book to be played on a draughtboard with a standard set of draughts.  However, it was later published as a stand-alone game (L.O.A) by Hexagames.
