Settlers of Katan is apparently very good, but probably one of those needlessly-complicated boardgames like Games Workshop used to make (Sauron anyone? man that was ridiculous). I voted strategy, but only because I'm playing Total Annihilation - it would usually be Action methinks.
Lizard - when you say "genial" do you mean "really good"? because
genial in english means "likeable and friendly" or "of or pertaining to the chin" (apparently). I've seen people use it like you do before - is it some sort of mistranslation?
