What I like most in games are those that have hard choices to make every turn. Puerto Rico is a good example of this, although I don't care for it too much. PowerGrid is much more my style. Partially becuase it explictly says "Go ahead and buy this power plant, but as soon as you do, we put a new power plant up for auction and it'll be better than the one you just bought...but if you wait for that one to come out, we'll just put out an even better one". Very pleasantly frustrating.
