Sooooo, What's your favorite board game?

Board games...I like way too many, I'll just list all my favs because I can't really decide on just one.

-Risk - My favorite strategy game, all though I play on the computer more than I do the actual board game; it's practically the same thing.

-Monopoly - The game that everyone loves and hates. <3

-Scrabble - A particular favorite because we play it all the time up here at the University, but I'm also a little bit of a "word-nerd"

-Life - I only played this game for the first time last night, but it was a pretty hilarious game. I had 5 kids, but still came out with 2.14 million dollars in the end and won.

Sweet, totally got to page two. Awe-some.

Scrabble's great.

I depressed an ex-girlfriend of mine cause I kept beating her at it. Poor lady.

Did she really get depressed over that? Damn. Scrabble's the last game you should get pissed over.

Monopoly...

We have like tons of board games, but this is the only one we play...

What happens? I can only imagine :p

I hate scrabble with a passion.

Played it a few times with some people in my dorm this year. One of them kept coming up with BS words like "adze" and "cwm" (both of which are in the dictionary).

Everyone took too long on their turn. I wanted to keep the game going, so I'd sacrifice points for the sake of time and "fun." Thus I'd never win.

Horrible, frustrating, boring game.

Funny Scrabble story-
Ok, I usually trounce my b/f when we play scrabble... we were playing on Thanksgiving day, and I had the perfect word to take advantage of the triple word score...
"quasars"
It was worth like 70-some points!

except I spelled it with a z- "quazars". I really thought that's how it was spelled. brian was too busy staring wide-eyed to think of looking up or challenging the spelling. he was so impresseed by my skills that he busted out the video camera and took a video and said "Look at how rediculously I just god schooled in Scrabble by my girlfriend!!!"

I was gloating about it to my other friend (who happens to be a science buff) and he said, "wait... quasars doesn't have a "z" in it!!"

we laughed for a good long while, and I saw to it that that video will never see the light of day

Me and my aunt, uncle and cousin used to play risk during the holidays. It would always take ages, and it was absolutely fantastic! Risk is definitely one of my favourites together with Monopoly, and Clue.

Man, I'm so original :>

Edit: OH yes! Scrabble And I just remembered what Life is. I only played it a few times when I was younger. I should definitely play that again some time.

Clue. I highly enjoy stabbing the pieces on the board with that little knife

Ahh, the simple pleasures...

I always liked clue but never played it but twice, cuz I never owned it.

I love scrabble. I hate playing with my family though, they refuse to play by the god damn rules. This angers me.

I also love cranium and Spellbound. I don't know if other people have that game xD You have to spell words.

I used to play all kinds of board games when I was younger. Monopoly, Connect 4, etc.

So, in continuation of the question. For the risk players, what's your favorite colour pieces?
Mine was purple from my uncles 70's risk, it's hardcore funn.

It's got a funny little whale in the middle of the Atlantic.

He'sgotasailorshat.

Trouble.

Oh, the memories.

Zombies!!! and Axis & Allies are my favourite board games. Monopoly is good fun too, especially with all the different editions (Canadian & Beatles ftw)

when my firends would play, sometimes they'd choose the color of the race/landscape for that country..

yellow for asia, black for africa, red for america (indians), green for south america (rainforests) etc...

yeah...

Ah, the whale..! My favourites were the yellow ones, I think. I played with them most often. I don't know why, really. Although I'd frequently opt for another colour because some of the yellow pieces were missing, which would cause some inconvenience later on in the game :>

Charades, Monopoly, Scrabble and er.. Frustration ;D
There are probably others I can't think of at the mo, but the above are ones that I have played fairly recently (with the exception of Frustration).
