Scotland Yard.

Clue (esp. Master Detective), Pirateer and Shogun also receive honorable mention.

Stratego 4

1. Axis and Allies.
2. Risk.

Monopoly and Risk.

monopoly. cos i pwn. haven't been beaten by family nor by many, many people at uni in yeaars...
but now i'm out of practice :eek:

That online "Google Maps" version of Risk was awesome. Too bad the guy got a "cease and desist" and had to take it offline.

Pass Out, (the best drinking boardgame)
Catopoly (a cat version of monopoly)
Squad Leader and ASL
The London Game and the Great game of Britain

Monopoly
Or my absolute favourite...

Shot Glass Chess :D

Risk
or chess
or shot chess

Someone must explain this mysterious "shot chess".

Someone must explain this mysterious "shot chess".
it's chess but if you lose a piece you must down it

Ah. Not very different from drunken Battleship (miss = drink), which I once confess to having played.

I lost. Badly.

Axis and Allies may be the best board game ever.

Also Balderdash and Taboo are fun.

Chess and Risk. Though I'm crap at Risk.

Trivial Pursuit (the original not the DVD ones), Mindtrap to name a couple

my favourite board games are Chess, Risk, Monopoly, and Diplomacy, in no order.

Scrabble
settlers of Catan
Trivial Pursuit
Risk (just bought it)

snakes and ladders is the single greatest game in the history of the universe teaching you vital lifelong lessons such as: climb up ladders and the white player always wins

Risk (almot any version)
Monopoly
Othello
Divinci's Circle

Risk
Chess
Candly Land (with the ungins)
Snakes and Ladders (also with the ungins)
Umm...yooker (wrong spelling)? There's a board with that.

1. Axis and Allies.
2. Risk.


Risk and how do you play Axis and Allies it's far too complicated!

Hah! I play Star Fleet Battles regularly! It makes Axis and Allies look like checkers!

My favourites would be either SFB or Arkham Horror.

Monopoly- I love acting out my capitalist fantasies.

Or ghettopoly.

Both classics

Scotland was pretty good, Clue and Risk too

I once played a game called Moolah

You could mug other players of their money
You could go to the bar
You could serve time (minimum and max security in the Big House)

Seriously it was a hoot

I have to see if I can a copy again...I forget how you win but it was great

Oh and Taboo...especially under the influence

Snowboard! Oh ,wait, right, I hate that...

Trivial Pursuit, as long as my uncle isn't playing (he's scary at that game).

Lord of the Rings - Tabletop Game

Monopoly - but as I'm a communist, I play only Anti-Capitali$t Monopoly, my own private invention.

yeah Trivia Pursuit, that is fun except trying to land on center (although it has saved my ass on occassion when someone else can't thus allowing me to catch up).

well hmm shot snakes and ladders... shot chess is fun!! emr does twister count, i have had lots of fun with twister ;) hmmm emr that bout it..

Monopoly - but as I'm a communist, I play only Anti-Capitali$t Monopoly, my own private invention.

LOL! Do tell!

Monopoly - but as I'm a communist, I play only Anti-Capitali$t Monopoly, my own private invention.

So...instead of buying properties, you use "manpower" points and engineer revolutions to take over the places? And instead of morgaging the property, you take out a few revolutionaries and the capitalist pigs exert control again? And instead of paying rent you have to "help your fellow man" or something. What are the playing pieces? A moldy piece of cheese, a worn out old boot, a car on blocks....:p

Risk

Esp. the variants (LotR Risk, SW Risk, ect.)

Chess, Othello, Stratego and Battleship-if thats a board game.

I suppose card games dont count?

Favourite 'board games' Risk, Chinese Checkers, Yatzee, Chess.

1. (Castle) Risk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Risk) - Nothing like conquering half the board on the first turn by taking out an opponent's castle with that Admiral card.

2. Backgammon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backgammon) - Strategy and skill with some 2D6 "!@#$ happens" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice) on the side. :D Although I don't claim to play well. GNU Backgammon (http://www.gnubg.org/) rates me as somewhere between "Casual Player" and "Intermediate," however.

1. Axis and Allies.
2. Risk.
1. Risk
2. Axis and Allies.

I am the Pwnz0rz at risk. only one record loss. LOTR risk is a different story. Involves less strategy.

Anyone remember Dark Tower?

Anyone remember Dark Tower?

Yes. Those suckers are rare. However, Steve Jackson Games has Dork Tower, which is a non-electronic remake based off of Kovalic's comic strip.

I also like to play Junta.

2. Backgammon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backgammon) - Strategy and skill with some 2D6 "!@#$ happens" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice) on the side. :D Although I don't claim to play well.

I knew I forgot something...'Acey Ducey' (it's played on a backgammon board), I used to love that game but I dont own a board and have not played for years....

Mmmm, now I'm thinking I should go and buy a backgammon board and teaching other house-members how to play acey ducey! Great, just what I needed - more stuff on my 'to buy' list!:rolleyes:

Anti-Capitali$t Monopoly? Voila! (http://www.freewebs.com/loony_leftie/monopoly.htm)
