Favorite board game?

[User 6659]

I know everyone loves Clue, Monopoly, Risk and Scrabble. But what new games do you guys like? These friends of mine introduced me to some game with cards and ducks. I don't recall the name, but its a fun game.

To answer your question: Scrabble, Risk and Chess.

There really should be a Kill-****-Marry board game.

Wouldn't you thin out the party pretty quickly?



That being said, not sure it's a board game...but Apples to Apples rocks hard.

Bart: You are my guest, and I am your host. What is your pleasure? What do you like to do?
Jim: I don't know... play chess... screw...
Bart: [quickly] Well let's play chess.

Trivial Pursuit normal edition and sports one.

And who can forget Connect Four....

It's not exactly a board game, more like a game of choice with cards, but an off the wall one I like is Zobmondo "The Outrageous Game of Bizarre Choices" by Hasbro. The more people there are playing, the more interesting it becomes, although the choices can be pretty vile sometimes.

The game is also better when you've been drinking. I think there are new versions of it out there now, but to anyone considering the purchase, go to ebay or something for the original Hasbro version.

I thought someone would mention Twister by now....

Balderdash can be pretty fun when played with a good-sized group. Risk, Scrabble are others I enjoy.

Anybody remember the game "Championship Baseball"? Came with baseball cards, around 1983?

Apples to Apples is awesome. Also a fan of Clue (I have a Simpsons version that I love) and Risk. I also have a Justice League Monopoly that is cool mosty because I get to be Superman.

If any Canadian Sj'ers are following Dragon's Den on CBC, they will be familiar with SynchroHearts.

The creator was on Oprah, but the Dragons did not like the idea enough to invest in it.

It is supposed to bring closeness and intimacy back for couples.

Apparently the idea came while buddy was meditating...

This is one game I am not sure I would recommend. If you see the sales pitch, you would understand why.

I play board games with a group of friends from time to time. Some of our favorites:

Settlers of Catan
Risk 2210 A.D. (and Risk:Godstorm and Starwars Risk -- surprisingly good for three players)
Twilight Imperium (what we've been playing lately)

 

[Mayfly]

Candyland
Monopoly
Sorry!

All above games can be turned into evil drinking games.

 

[cranberry]

Chess, Dominoes (no board, though), Backgammon, Scrabble, Othello and Battle Ship are other favorites. Nothing wrong with a little Chutes and Ladders or Trouble, either.

Also:

 

[EStreetJoe]

Chess, Scrabble, Risk, Scotland Yard

Alright, since a lot of you have mentioned Risk, I'm gonna throw this web site out there. You can play up to 4 or 5 games at a time and there are TONS of different maps. Sorry, no star wars, though. But you don't have to sit at your computer all day and play you can simply play your turn, then your opponent(s) get a set amount of time -- usually 24 hours -- to make their turn. I'm addicted. Here's the link: http://www.denizengames.com/grandstrategy/login.faces
Another of my favorites is called Acquire (anyone else ever heard of it?). You start corporations and buy stock in them, then they merge. Played it in college and bought my own, now we play whenever possible. Also have a website to play that online if anyone's interested. Just PM me.
Other favorites: Cribbage (technically played with a board), Trivial Pursuit and scrabble.

Scene It
Monopoly

I really enjoy Sorry. Axis & Allies is always a good time.

Philospher, I play Catan on Xbox Live & love it.

Scene It is being released this week for the Xbox 360. I'm looking forward to that.
