You can choose more than one.
What board games do you love to play?
Which ones are you good at?
discuss board games, cards, etc. present and past.

From the list I chose Monopoly, Scrabble, card games (21, stud poker), Trivial Pursuit, and "Others".
The others (not Ben and his gang) include foosball, pool, Parcheesi, pinball, and backgammon.

Robo-Rally, Killer Bunnies, and Settlers of Cataan are definitely on my list. :)

Monopoly and Scrabble, but I love them mostly for the memories of playing them with sisters.
During a hurricane, Dad, my two younger sisters, and I set up Monopoly under the light of a couple candles and played half the night.
And Scrabble for a time when I was helping my little sister find a word, so as I'm spelling out "wood" she pronounced it is "wude". It's so silly and ridiculous, but it cracked me up.

Settlers of Cataan is where the party is at...
but of course, you can't forget Cranium...
I, a simple man, had to do a silent Marilyn Monroe impersonation...and yes, involved me imagining wind going up my skirt and walking like a women...impossible to conceive at expression...

Monopoly and Risk.
"Ticket to Ride" is also a good relatively new one, from Germany. You try to connect train routes across North America (there is a separate European edition). As do many German board games, this has a lot of good gameplay elements mixed together -- it's simple, doesn't take forever, no one gets "kicked out" before the end, and it's fairly engaging.
Another good but less popular one is "The Farming Game", self published by a farmer in Washington state.

RISK, but only if it's human RISK.
Apples to Apples is another fun game, with the right crowd.

Monopoly - the ultimate capitalist board game.
Scrabble - brain power required
Chess - hundreds of years of family fun and still one of the best strategy game
Card games - especially Cribbage (addicted with no support group to turn to  ) and UNO
RISK is also a contender. Along with Clue and Battleship.

We put a spin on Scrabble once in a while. We have "theme night" when all words must be in a certain theme, such as construction, moving objects, transpotation, hollywood, etc. and we let everyone have two extra letters in their tray.
lotta fun.

What's the "Boardwalk" of that version? Do the prices reflect the same prices as in the original? I have heard that some of the newer versions have "updated" pricing for the properties.
I have the Pittsburgh Steelers version as well as the classic.
