If it's a casual meeting, then it'd be horrible wrong to pull out your Arkham Horror or Battlestar Galactica. Get a Jenga, CaH, anything story-creation-based or extremely physical that can be setup and played under the limit of time you think you'd play, so 30min-1h in this case.

When you gather six people around a table to specifically boardgame, you expect people to boardgame. When you gather six people around a friday night for kicks, sure, i can understand if somehow boardgames get into that discussion that they won't be played seriously.
There's a certain saying about pots and kettles you might want to look into.
So you are the obnoxious friend of a friend everyone wishes their friend would stop inviting.
The video isn't actually portraying an authentic video editing process. It's meant to symbolize that process inside the context of the video itself.
It's a music video, not a tech demo.
So, you showed the best game of 2012 as the banner image without context. Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game is brilliant and the game has only improved with each expansion. Also, Star Wars: Edge of the Empire (a pen & paper RPG) is off to a great start.
Go to boardgamegeek.com and revel in the detailed info on board games there. They have some top lists.
Small World is an almost perfect port.
As a fan of the original release of Netrunner, I got the biggest nerd boner when I heard Fantasy Flight Games got the rights to bring it back. Especially since they released it under their Living Card Game setup, which is just a fantastic way of handling card games.
I would say this deserves a place on your list...
Aww yeah. Pathfinder: Adventure Card Game gets my vote for game of the year. Our group has been replaying the classics (Thunderstone Advance, Ticket to Ride) and games we just plain love (Road Kill Rally, Last Night on Earth, Warcraft Adventure Game) so I can't comment on too many more brand spankin new games.
How about instead of complaining about the way they did the list you just go out and buy the game? I guarantee you'll be much happier.
Go get it. It's only $30-$35 bucks and it's pretty good.
Definitely check out http://www.shutupandsitdown.com/, the site Quinns writes for then. Great stuff.
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game - one of the best board/card games at emulating the feel of RPG adventuring. Wildly successful and available everywhere (even if you can't fit the box in a studio apartment)
It was said last year and it is definitely about to get said again, Kotaku needs to run more articles like this.... like seriously I would be interested in reading these and maybe more inclined to buy some. We get alot of kickstarter video game posts and there are alot of great board games that go to kick starter as…
What about the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game? Kinda works like a tabletop RPG, but no DM is needed.
It's a good movie. Ignore criticisms like this, which is mostly really inaccurate and stupid and the judgments used against it here would never be used against other movies that are actually very terrible.
That's actually Shanghai, not Mahjongg. Shanghai is the matching game. Mahjongg is a 2/4 player game that's more like Rummy. Entirely different things. It'd be like calling War and Texas Hold 'Em the same game since they both use Trump cards.
