Whats your favorite board game?
Personaly, I never play Monopoly with friends and i never play Trivial Persuit. Id have to say my favorite boardgame would probably have to be Scrabble (as long as everybody involved understands that if it isnt in the dictionary, its not allowed), although I am partial to hungry hungry hippos. But I dont mind a good jigsaw puzzle, however I only do ones that can be laquered and made into posters when I finish them. |

Axis & Allies is by far the best.
The best looking game would have to be Ghettopoly. |

Monopoly is a favorite, as are certain war games (notably, I love signing checks for the Evil Polish brothers).

Axis and Allies, Risk, and chess are the three I play the most. I am trying to get a star trek multilevel chess set, I just haven't actively sought one out..

It'd have to be Chess for me.

Civilization. I do prefer the old version to the Sid Meiers version. Even thou Sid is GOD! But the boardgame just didn't become as fun as the old one or as fun as the computer game.

I play risk a lot. I've been wanting to get Axis and Allies, but have never had enough people interested. 4-way chess is great. Although all told, I prefer card games (hearts and spades. If I meet one more stupid kid who wants to play poker with no drinking and no bets I'm going to scream. The game has no redeeming qualities if there's nothing being wagered.)

Poker without bets? That ain't poker.

I've had plenty of fun with talisman, especially the older (cheese filled) versions.

The only way to play poker is on a one of those week long school trips in the hotel lobby at 3 in the morning.
The bets? Clothes! Of course, make sure the girls out number the guys. No one wants to see a naked teenage guy. Which means you might have to get some lesbians... Anyway, I vote for Axis & Allies with the 5 player cutthroat mod. It's crazy shit, yo. |

Go!
Go is the best, but it is like chess, a bit of an investment. The current light game we play the most is Settlers of Catan. |

I have enjoyed Risk, Trivial Pursuit, Ubi, Stratego, Clue and a real classic, Black Tower. Too bad the last is hard to find, and expensive to boot if you can't get it at a yard sale, else I'd buy a copy for at least nostalgia's sake.

How could you forget about HeroQuest? It's the shit. :) I also have BattleMasters, its follow up, but it requires too much floor space in my tiny apartment to be used often... SR13 |

In that case, SpaceHulk is also on my list. But only if you have 3 sets and the time and effort to re write the rulebook to include normal marines and genestealer cultists. |

Right now, I'd have to say Shipwrecked. For those who haven't heard of it, it's a fun little bluffing game where you bid for resources against other players, and you have to stop the bidding at the right time without someone else stealing it... you'd have to play it to get it.

Hmmm I love RISK and RISK 2210. I have to say I'm a sucker for Monopoly in the various forms. Actually some forms that my g/f and I have are Spiderman, X-Men, Simpsons, Star Wars Ep 1, Justice League, regular...uh that's all I can think of. I also love trivial Pursuit. It's just something about trivia games (ie Jeopardy) that I like. Useless facts *L*
I've always wanted to try Axis and Allies but none of my friend own a board or have ever played themselves so we never bothered to look into beyond browsing in the store. |

Civ, yeah! Was some time ago I played it last time, so I don't remember wich verison it used to be, but It plain rocks. Only game I return to year after year on Gothcon. On second place I'd have to say Settlers of Catan, since the gameplay involve enough randomness to allow even me to win. |

Guess it had to have been Civ or Advanced Civ then since Sid Meiers Civ boardgame is only about a year and a half old. The game just rocks ... |

My buddies and I use to play Magic all the time, but it always ended in fights. Whats the point of getting together if all it does is get everyone frustrated?
Now I play Settlers of Catan and Risk. Quick and easy, they are currently my easy favorites. |

Risk 2210 when there's time for game, but Settlers otherwise.
I am also a sucker for the great god Monopoly. |
