Does anyone have suggestions for playing board games online? Specifically the geekier, more complex involved games. Like Agricola, Twilight Imperium, Arkham Horror, etc.
There is a good site called Brettspielwelt where you can play a number of great games. Caylus, Stone age, Puerto Rico, etc.
There is another that is escaping me at the moment...starts with Y..... yacatu? no...
One of the more geeky options is to play with your friends in a hybrid online game. I play Mage Knight: The Board Game with a friend of mine. We each have a copy of the game and connect over Skype. One of us is the "control" set where cards are picked, etc.. the other just matches the set-up. It sounds geeky...and it is...but it's a great way to enjoy games like that...if you have the space to leave it up.

Really, hit up BoardGameGeek.com to ask this question. Heck, if you know what game you want to play, you can go to the game's page in the database and it will tell you exactly where you can play it.
Here's a 'geeklist' which is just a list of games that will tell you where exactly you can play it online, by game.

Just look at the avatar. Yes, those are meeples. Carcassonne's pieces are talking to you.
Yucata! Well, I was close..
The other option I was forgetting is a program called Vassal.
I don't love it so much but I can see that it would work well. Lots of game modules available for it.
