Perhaps not what you've got in mind, but I like chess. It has a lot of possibilities. After that I guess it'd be Pictionary. I dunno.

I also enjoy chess. It's such a great game of strategy. After Chess probably comes Risk and Stratego, followed by Monopoly. I'm big on the strategy of war games for the most part I guess.

Has anyone heard of a game called Balderdash?
Normally I'm not very big on board games, but playing Balderdash with a few like-minded friends is one of the most downright pants-wetting hilarious things.

OMG!~!!! HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT BALDERDASH?!?!?!?! I guess I put that in the "party game" category though. It's not really a board game IMO.

Scrabble. I play in clubs and tournaments, I've won a bit of money, I study dictionaries and word lists and I have my custom board/tiles/racks/clock set. Yeah, I love that game. It's a fundamental cornerstone of my life.
And although I'd trounce any of my friends on any given day, I do not by any means consider myself an expert. I've met real experts. They kicked my butt. Another board game I adore is Diplomacy, but it requires seven players over the span of many, many hours so it's extremely difficult to get a game together. I wish I were better at chess.

In addition to Scrabble and Monopoly, I always liked Life and Clue. Also, anyone ever heard of Mastermind? That was fun, and also Battleship. I can't wait till my son's old enough to play these! But my favorite of all time would have to be one that's technically a card game, but it's played with a board, so you could consider it a board game -- Bonanza! Anyone besides me ever played it? You need several people to make it work well.
Oh, I thought of two others: Trivial Pursuit is fun, and also CANDYLAND, but only with the old board (which I have) . |

Thieves Guild is a really fun awesome game!
I like Talisman, Risk, Chess, one that require strategy and different options. I also like the old games like Monopoly, Clue, Trivia, Trouble. Oh, and Candyland is an old favorite.

I have a game entitled 'Wise and Otherwise', which basically involves one person reading the first part of a remote proverb and everyone else writing an ending. Then everyone tries to guess which ending is right when all the submitted endings and the correct one is read. It's fun.
(There are some really bizarre sayings: 'Gifts are like rocks.' 'Eat pulse or play the bagpipes.')

Novelty board games: My brother got the Star Wars board game for Christmas of '78. I think he still has it. I also saw the Chocolate Monopoly on display one time -- it was all made of chocolate. |

Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit are just the best. Games that take hours to play I really like for some reason...

I personnaly like the fellowship of the ring version of chess I'm sure i'd like Risk to but I don't have it at my house. Why don't they make a Rotk version. How's it going Gamigar!
