Board Games from the likes of Avalon Hill

I have been a gamer for a long time and back in the 80s and early 90s I played a lot of complex board games from the likes of Avalon Hill.

Some favorites of mine were :

Civilisation (and Advanced Civilisation) - Very much like a board game version of the Sid Meieir Games....

Britannia - A strategic game where you had four players controlling various tribes for control of Britain. The game was split into various historical stages. The player with the Romans who were strong in the first stage would control weaker factions later in history.

183X - 1830 the most fondly remembered railway game. Lots of sequels came out later.

Anyone else play any of these or other board games? (I don't mean Risk or Trivial Pursuit)

Am I that much of a nerd?

I remember I had a geeky mate who used to have Democracy.

I think it was somewhat like Risk, in that you had a map of the world.

Democracy was great fun.
