Carcassone
I got a tile laying game named Carcassone for Christmas. It's produced by Rio Grande games and made by a German guy whose name eludes me. The concept is pretty simple -- you pick tiles and connect them to other tiles to form a map. Depending on what you create and complete -- roads, towns, farms -- you get points.
I think it is a great game and costs only about $25. The reason I'm posting is that it is one of the few games that my wife actually likes. It's simple enough to get her interested, but complex enough to keep me interested. It's a fine balance. The rules are only 4 pages long and each game takes probably 45 minutes.
It would be a great way for Koz to get something rewarding out of watching an episode of Judging Amy with his wife.
