Almost every two-player game butts up against shelf toad territory for me, and Space Hulk is on that list. That one is a little better than most, since at least my kids really enjoy it. Star Wars Rebellion is also going to end up there I fear. I've played twice and really love it, but I've struggled to get it to the table since this summer.
Merchants & Marauders is one I've struggled to get played since I've moved to Texas. I even have the expansion, which I've only played once. I love that game, but different audiences like different games more. In Kansas City it was Merchants & Marauders, here it's Merchant of Venus. Interesting how that happens.
For as much Talisman as I own, one would think it would be a big ol' shelf toad. But it actually is EXTREMELY popular with my friends here. I don't know what I did to get that, but I'm thankful either way.

I've not played my X-Wing as much as I would like, but that would be every day if I could. I still use it a couple times a month. I need to set some squadrons up ahead of time so that we can just slap stuff on the table and go. With the combo of a 6-year old who likes Star Wars and a 15-month old labrador that chews on anything plastic that you leave on the floor overnight... it's a risky proposition to leave anything out for any length of time.

Oh, now you're talking about STEAM toads! My enormous library, let me show you it.

From a total non-Steam (or any online gaming site/system) person is this what my lad may have been using with his mates when they played Eldritch Horror one day ?

Its a virtual table where you still do everything manually like you would at a real table. Using your mouse to pick up cards, move pieces around, roll dice, etc.

Quite likely. There is a VAST selection of games available, but as mentioned, you still run everything yourself. There is no "AI" doing anything.

Is it a full emulator or does someone have to be either full or part time moderator ? And does the system control everything including providing and tracking all info or can people cheat thus needing a bit of an honour system ?

Ogre: Designer's Edition
It's like the mastodon of shelf toads. It even exceeds the concept of shelves.
