Oh man I wanna join that games club.  I recognize all but one- what's the one above Dominion?

...I also wouldn't have expected Dominion to be popular enough over there to be acknowledged next to those other ones!

My first thought was Carcassone, but I don't think that's it.

Maybe it's Chip's Challenge: The Home Game.

[Brando Commando]

What's this from? I don't know Manga (or if this is even Manga...).

[def]

what's the one above Dominion?

Alhambra.

[Kirian]

And what's above Alhambra?

[Tombolo]

Hanafuda.

[TWoos]

What's the one bottom left?

EDIT: Wait, is that MtG?

And I like the shogi reference on the blackboard.

[ConMan]

Yeah, I'd say the three in the bottom-left are Alhambra, Magic, and Dominion. Is the one in the bottom-right Reversi/Othello? Were they playing that one 1v1 with one player sitting out?

I like the naming system used on the blackboard - everyone refers to themself as "Me", but it's abundantly clear which "Me" refers to who.

The bottom right looks like Connect-4 to me.

But now that you mention it, it's probably Othello.

Dominion is pretty popular in Japan; IIRC Jay told me that it's third in sales behind the US and Germany. That's not bad, and Japanese board game publishers reskin it with Touhou and anime themes to appeal to a broader audience.

what's the one above Dominion?

Alhambra.

It could be Granada, I suppose, but the picture looks definitely more like walls and not moats.

And Granada does not have a token to put on your starting tile.

I was thinking of Dixit for the one above that, but I'll take Tombolo's word on it. It's not a game I recognize at all.

Dixit would only be one row of cards.

I thought it was dixit as well, but in hindsight the language leads it more to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafuda

Also, definately Alhambra

Which would explain how Tanto Cuore got popular - being Dominion + maids + some extra mechanics would be a winning formula over there, and I was told (admittedly by someone trying to sell me the game) that it's the #1 selling fixed set card game in Japan (so presumably less popular than CCGs like Yugioh, but apparently even better than Touhouminion).
