BattleTech is a tactical wargame where players maneuver giant fighting robots ("BattleMechs," or "'Mechs") against each other (or vehicles and/or infantry) on hexagon-based maps. The complex game system includes details such as varying weapon ranges, heat generation, and discrete hit locations (torso, arms, legs, etc.). 'Mechs vary greatly by mobility and firepower, and players can choose from provided designs or take the time to create their own 'Mechs from scratch. The base game (reprinted in many different editions) includes a introduction rule book for helping new players getting around fast. The game board is extensible, and there are many map packs available for purchase or even download. An extensive line of pewter figurines ('Mechs, vehicles, and the like) are available in the U.S. from Iron Wind Metals.

The aim of every person who plays Warhammer 40,000 is to pit their force of miniatures against other players across war-torn futuristic battlefields. Win or lose, all battles are entertaining challenges in which you try to out-think and out-play your opponent, taking advantage of what good luck comes your way, but ultimately relying upon sound tactics to win the day.

The game has been designed with regiments of fantasy miniatures. It uses stock fantasy races such as humans (The Empire, Bretonnia, Kislev), Elves, Dwarfs, Undead, Orcs and Goblins, Vampires, as well as some more unusual types such as Lizardmen, Skaven and the daemonic forces of Chaos. Each race has its own unique strengths and flaws; Wood Elves, for example, have the most powerful archers in the game but have poor overall defence and Bretonnia have the strongest cavalry but weak infantry.

Players take on the role of an elite soldier-sorcerer known as a warcaster. While a warcaster and his army is a formidable force on the battlefield, a warcaster's true strength is in their ability to magically control and coordinate the actions of their mighty warjacks steam-powered combat automatons that represent the pinnacle of military might in the Iron Kingdoms.

Cooperative dungeon crawl game in which a party of four heroes strives to complete adventures that the Dungeon Master puts before them. Quite similar to HeroQuest. There is also a Spanish version.

This is the grandfather of the collectible card game (or CCG) genre. Players build a deck of cards and duel against an opponent's deck. The first player to reduce his opponent to 0 life (or meet another set win condition) wins the game. There are thousands of cards from which to build your deck.
Though traditionally a two-player duel, there are several casual and tournament formats to Magic that allow more players to play.
