Food For thought....
I think we see some of this in our group too...
For example, if it hadn't been for all the playtesting and analysis I put into Crusader Rex, I wouldn't have discovered all the nuances and strategies in the game....and I'm sure there are more.

I wholehearted concur. There are a lot of games we've only played once that I would love to try more times. Knizia games in particular seem to get better the more I play them.
In keeping with this theme, I'll bring Descent on July 3rd. This gem deserves some more love, and I have a great scenario picked out.
Yeah, this is something I think about. The deluge of new games makes it hard to really appreciate any of them. It's part of why I'm trying to restrict my new purchases.
But this is a good problem to have, IMHO. We're living in a golden age of gaming.
While it's hard to find the nuances of good games, there's never a need to play games you don't enjoy. There's plenty of others to try, and you probably will enjoy one of them.
I feel lucky for what you just stated Ted. I jumped in the gaming bandwagon in 2004. Since then it's only been hit after hit after hit that comes out. A golden age indeed.
Wargames seem to be enjoying one too, thanks mainly to the euro golden age IMHO.

I would second your analysis. Afterall, where did most of us start out and what do we play now?
Indeed.
can i get a hurrah...
I started out with wargames, though I can't definitively say I prefer them the best. I think my favorites are the war/euro hybrids (e.g., Memoir, War of the Ring, TI:3, etc.).
Hurrah!
