It really hard to explain. But, basically they are board games that are a bit different than your basic monopoly or scrabble. The idea being they games are very balanced and stay close so any one can win right to the end.
Some examples of them would be Settlers of Catan, Agricola, Shear Panic, Puerto Rico, Ticket to Ride. They are a lot of fun. Some are more simple and some get very intense and long. I prefer the ones that can be played in about an hour.
Check out boardgamegeek.com which is the place for these types of games. Check out boardgameswithscott.com for some videos about them and how to play. Watch the videos on the games I mentioned above to get an idea about them and how to play.
I think they are called Euro games cause many of the original favorites came out of Germany, although there are many games from US designers these days too.
