Three's Company - My top 15 three player games

Hot
K Updated
There Will Be Games

3iscompanyThree's a crowd, Three's company but some times it's hard to find a good three player game.  With 2 players I can always play a war game.  There are tons of great games for 4 - 6 players.  And with 7+ you usually end up playing a party game.  But with 3 it's a little more difficult to find good games.   The problem with 3 player games is preventing the 2 against 1 situation that tends to come up in every game.  Or if you can't prevent it why not embrace it and create games that are designed to be 2 against 1.
My criteria for my top 20 for 3 players is that playing with 3 players is the sweet spot or the game plays equally well with 2 or 4 players.  I've also included games that have some degree of interaction.  Other peoples list may have low interaction games like Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, etc. but I'm not into that kind of game.  For me game like Arkham Horror, Ti3, Doom were taken off the list for me because both games play better with 4 players than with 3 players.

So here' my list of 15 games to play with 3 players

#1 War of Ring (hardcore fans of the game will only play 2 players but 3 works real well)

#2 Friedrick (long but doesn't feel long, I still haven't play Maria maybe that's #1)

#3 Starcraft (Scales well from 2-6 but works real nicely with 3 players)

#4 Age of Steam (3 players is as good as 4 or 5 players)

#5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (3 is great number for this game)

#6. Caylus (2-5 players but I'll never play 2 or 5 players)

#7. Nexus Ops

#8. Middle Earth Quest

#9. American Megafuna

#10. Talisman (can be played with 2-50 people but 3 - 4 is the best)

#11. Prophesy, World of Warcraft, Dungeon Quest, other dungeon games, etc.

#12. Parthenon: Rise of the Aegean  (2005)

#13. Wallace game (Byzantium and God's Play Ground)

#14. Android

#15. Attika - A unique Euro from 2003

So what's your favorite 3 player games?
