Carcassonne
I received this for Christmas, and couldn’t be happier. It’s a great game, and simple to teach. The instructions are a short pamphlet, and fairly straightforward. It’s simply a tile laying game where you have to lay a tile so that it’s sides match all the other sides of tiles it touches. You then use a meeple to claim certain areas on your ‘map’ such as roads, cries, monasterys, etc, and score them when they are complete.
My wife and I have played this numerous times since I got around to opening it, and she absolutely LOVES it. Unlike me she’s not a gamer, but she will ask to play this game, so I would say that it’s a good introductory game.
