Usually with lists like these, people talk about being marooned on a desert island. We live in the 21st Century now (well, some of us, anyway...), so lets update the setting:
You're trapped on a space station in deep space. Food, water, and health care are all assured by the on-board systems. You'll not starve or die of anything besides natural causes. However, you won't ever make contact with earth again, nor have any hope of establishing contact outside of the station. However, you're lucky to be marooned with good friends.....so, what boardgames would you stow in you locker? (I'll do RPGs, cardgames, minis, and miscellaneous staff later...
My list:
1) RoboRally - insane factory floor robot war, instigated by a psycotic mainframe

2) Cosmic Encounter - travel the universe, encounter strange beings, stab 'em in the back, and settle their systems! (I'd probably take the Mayfair version, but the link is for the entire family)

3) Fire and Axe - trade, settle, and raid europe!

4) Ticket to Ride - hop aboard and become a rail baron (would probably bring the 1910 expansion)

Those who know me might be surprised to see Crimson Skies missing......I'm going to include that in my minis post.....
So, what are yours?
