Favorite boardgame?

What's your favorite board game?

Besides the obvious ones of chess and stuff, there's Settlers and Risk. And Monopoly, but I played it too much as a kid I guess.

I like games that have a certain amount of strategy. Either Risk or Monopoly, but sadly they both have more chance involved then I would prefer. Another great game is Othello aka Reversi. Great strategy game.

As a side note, playing board games makes an awesome date!

My favorites are Scrabble, Yahtzee, and Rummoli

Monopoly is my favorite, by a mile, if it's played the way the game was designed to be played. It's not nearly as chance-based when you play it properly, according to the actual rules. Most people don't.

The differences:

- When someone lands on a property and nobody owns it, it is AUCTIONED, creating an actual market value for the deeds. Because of this, players must consider very carefully what they're willing to buy, or what the others would be willing to pay.

- No putting money in the middle to be won for free parking, and no collecting $400 for landing on Go. Both of these unfairly inject money into the game, giving a huge unearned advatange to the recipient.

I love Cluedo, especially when everyone is drinking and you argue about who has which cards, then theres a big fight and everyone's throwing the board around. Same with Monopoly, throwing hotels at each other is great fun.

Hmm there was also this game whose name I cant remember, you sort of conquer the world with these little army pieces.

If you guys want a "no chance" game, try Diplomacy.

I like more of the party games that have a lot of creative team interaction, Pictionary and Cranium top my list. You can get a lot of insight into a person by how they play these games.
