Carcassonne2000 / Tile placement board game / 2-5 players / Germany
*****
With so many intriguing but intimidating board games competing for my precious time and money since I returned to the physical plane, this esteemed contemporary classic was approachably simple and affordable, and it quickly became pretty much my favourite game, with expansions galore to keep it interesting and cancel out the "affordable" part. Even treating it as a multiple-choice linear jigsaw is diverting enough in itself.
