Wrong end of the stick?

These people gave Ticket to Ride an F (and Pandemic a C). They also thought it was a new game...
I wonder what they would think if someone showed them Dominion?

Based on their review, I think they are stuck in the mindset of boardgames are things like Monopoly and Cluedo.

Hijacking this thread to ask... what's a good family game for Christmas? NB this has to cater for my mum who doesn't like complex rules (she likes pictionary), so no card games with tapping or complex instructions! My boys are too small to play, so it just has to cater for adults. Ta!
