Since [livejournal.com profile] rikchik can't do it (without working through a translator, anyway), what are some American-themed games to play on July 4th?

Some that come to mind:
• Empire Builder
• Ticket to Ride
• TransAmerica
• Bang!
• Memoir '44 (more or less)
• Baseball (the poker variant, that is)

Maybe I should start a GeekList about this over on the Geek, eh?

(And how would you refer to America in Rikchik, anyway?)

WRT Monopoly, I should amend the list to "American-themed games that a group of adult game snobs would actually play to completion." :) But I do encourage the list to have more games based on abstract yet quintessentially American virtues such as RAMPAGING CAPITALISM.

Combine that with RAMPAGING INVENTION and you get Cheapass's "The Big Idea", which is also a must, now that I think of it.
