Yucata is a great free boardgame service with more than 80 games (plus variants) available. Sifting the good from the bad is a tough task if you've never heard of most of them. One way to judge games is sheer popularity. Here's a listing of the popular games on Yucata. The number of plays is how many plays per month the game had from May through July 2013 (rounded down). I picked this short span vs. overall plays listed on Yucata's site, since different games have had different lifetimes.
