I'll start: the solo system in A Feast for Odin. You just have to control two hands/colors that block each other's worker placement. No automa, no special rules.

The deck building without reshuffling in Aeon's End. It sounded so strange at first, but as we played the game, we noticed how well it worked. You have to really think about when is a good time to buy spells, how you can make sure you can get a big burst of energy now and then, etc.

Play nicely with others here.
Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!
