Best Board Game-

I play Catan on Xbox Live Arcade...

But my favorite board game is Monopoly.  More fun if you play with real money.

My family is big on board games during family gatherings, not sure why exactly.  But we love Cranium and Quelf. 

I play rummy with my girlfriend :P

Apples to apples and cranium are favorites with friends.

Originally posted by vtplm i'd say speed scrabble (even though you don't use the board) or settlers.  man that game gets so heated sometimes.

Some of my friends have become obsessed with settlers.  Scrabble is my favorite though, i like risk too but it takes so damn long.

I actually just played settlers for the first time this weekend. I had never heard of it before but I really liked it! It was pretty easy to pick up and didn't take too long to play. For the more hardcore people, Axis and Allies is a really awsome game, however it took over a month to finish up a game once...

Apples to apples, cranium, and buzz word are a lot of fun

I really like the German board games like settlers and there are a few others that i have played which were fun. But they cost to much to buy, well settlers has become really popular so the price has gone down.

Any of you guys ever play Mafia?

no game even compairs to monopoly.

Settlers, Apples to Apples, then you get exotic in my family's game cabinet.

Power Grid, Infernal Contraption, Bang!, Munchkin, Chaos,...

If you like epic-length very subtly competitive games, Empire Builder is pro. Just set aside 6+ hours for your first playthrough, and don't have anyone at the table who can't stand economics.

And Timmay, you should try games made by Mayfair. They're a US company (to my knowledge) and produce games roughly on par with the Germans. I have actually met the guy who runs boardgamegeek.com, which might be a decent source for your "quality board game needs".

Settlers of Catan is a winner. So is Scrabble.

Apples to Apples, Risk, and Monopoly for the win

Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble, and Aggravation.

Monopoly, because who doesn't like to imagine that they are rich?

Oh yea, and risk, that one is a time killer.

monopoly or checkers or connect 4

I LOVE Settlers! Amazingly easy to pick up and learn, and great fun especially if you pick up the 5-6 player expansion.

2 sheep for ore! CMON ANYBODY?!

I loooooove monopoly!!! i can play for hours..

Risk FTW!

Not exactly a board game. Outbursts was a game i played with family. It was surprisingly fun. I had a bunch of laughs and all around good time.

Monopoly, Scrabble, Apples to Apples, Rummikub, and Taboo. Oh and LIFE! lol I just really like board games. I've never heard of Settlers. I guess I should check it out :] good bunch of games, except for life, with that game almost everyone wins, it's so happy happy

Lol that's not true! You can get a bad salary, have a tornado hit your house, and go bankrupt! hahaha but yeah for the most part everyone has kids and houses and makes a lot of money. I usually like games that require some sort of skill or strategy but I played it a lot as a kid and let's be honest, the spin wheel in life is half the fun. More games should have one lol

settlers is always fun.  anyone heard of carcassonne?  my friends and i play that and a card game called dominion a lot.

Monopoly turns my girlfriend into a bitch.
