4. Which are the best games?
The Well-rounded Player
The Spiel des Jahres
is the jury-awarded annual German game of the year prize. It tends to choose games
accessible to hardcore and casual players alike.
The popularly-voted
Deutscher Spiele Preis (German Game Prize) tends to choose the best game of the year
for more experienced players.
The Internet Top 100 Survey
tends to do the same thing for all games ever made.
The Best of the New Games
is a sampling of this including only the most recent games.
The Boardgame Recommendation System
is a collaborative filtering system that attempts to match your ratings with others.
(Caveat: this kind of system really needs thousands of participants to work usefully.)

6. Where can I find rules for out-of-print games?
One good bet is to find the publisher and ask them. Even today
Hasbro still provides
rulesets for games from companies that they have acquired such as Milton Bradley,
Parker Bros., Avalon Hill, Wizards of the Coast, etc.
