Card driven event systems (like in Twilight Struggle) are a really cool way of allowing random events to influence the game.

Systems for both players moving simultaneously (Diplomacy, the Game of Thrones Boardgame) are cool too, they add a lot of uncertainty.

I also love games that encourage player interactions (Diplomacy, Monopoly to an extent), especially when there's a lot of people playing the game that you have to worry about.

I just played the GoT game last night and really enjoyed it! Takes a long time to learn though.

Clearly you won as you either win the GoT or you die.
