Re: board games

Advanced Civilization
Risk (2210 or Castle)
Scotland Yard
Axis & Allies (NOT the dumb new European Theatre one)
Monopoly (of course)
Cranium is hilarious, not too big on Trivial Pursuit (I get tired of the targeted expansions) Balderdash is fun, you can never go wrong with classics like chess (go grab a little card game called Knightmare Chess...its an intriguing way to play with your tired old chess board) chinese checkers, if you like those learn go (seriously awesome japanese game related to chess and othello) I'll post more later.

1829 (Hartland Trefoil - the inspiration and foundation for the computer game Railroad Tycoon) Civilization (Hartland Trefoil - not to be confused with the game of the computer game, but is the foundation and inspiration of the computer game), Thoughtwave, Hare and Tortoise, and many wargames (Sturm Nacht Osten, Kasserine, Imperium Romanum II, Hitler's War, Outreach - an SF game, Ancients, inter alia)

Re: board games

It has to be Monopoly. But as a child I always enjoyed Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Re: board games

Has anyone else ever played the card-based game Apples to Apples? The game could do with a better name, but the actual game play is fun.

Do dominoes count? I love dominoes, too, and tri-ominoes and quad-ominoes.

Re: board games

My favorite board game was Stratego, which I learned to play when I was 5 or 6. Risk was my second favorite. I haven't played either in decades. The last board game I played was Trivial Pursuit, which I excelled at, since I only seem to retain trivial information.

We just got that game for Christmas, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. It looked pretty fun. I'll let you know how it goes.
