Before I ever got into video games, one of my favorite things to do was play board games. Not the popular stuff like Monopoly, Risk, or Trouble, but the obscure American ones and weird European onees like Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Shadows Over Camelot, etc. This is why I have been blown away by these titles many people haven't even heard of, making their way to XBLA! Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, and finally Talisman...the weird cult smash of the late 80's. It's definitely one of the reasons why I love my xbox. Is anyone else a geek like me and enjoy these board game adaptations on xbla? If so, what games would you like to see come out? My quick top three without putting too much thought into it are:
1. Goa
2. Puerto Rico
3. Shadows over Camelot (mainly because I think its perfect for xbla)
Any other board gamers out there?

Personally I love playing Carcassone, and Catan (when I can, that is), I wish they would come out with more, considering that there is really quite a demand for off-kilter games such as these.

Backgammon and Poker both play well in the Arcade versions; I'd like to see versions of Reversi/Othello or Go put up, even though I generally suck at those, because they're really straightforward games to implement but they've got very long track records.

Stratego would be cool; haven't played that in decades.

Not exactly cult worthy, and also not necessarily a board game per se, but I am a big fan of uno on XBLA... First arcade game I purchased to be completely honest. Even with the theme decks that change the game just a little bit
