Favorite board game?

I like Monopoly(Dogopoly offshoot is my favorite), Life (When I want to see my future...), Boggle, and UpWords/Scrabble (I like UpWords More though).

Well, those are my top favorites, anyone else played them?

Ooooo! I forgot about Life! I actually manged to make it to the end with something like 20M once. My sisters were pissed :P

Conway's version is much more interesting IMAO:

Scrabble is great. So is UpWords.

Balderdash, can go both ways depending on who's playing...

My corridor has a sweet spot for Balderdash - we're often found playing it into the early hours of the morning. I think our record so far is just shy of five hours.

We played Monopoly the other day (well, eight of us did), and it was the most bloodythirsty game I've played! Now, I've played Monopoly with two or three others before, and I always came out on top with my tricksy ways... but I've never played with seven others with the same, and even more devious, tricksy ways. It was beyond painful. In the end, three of us ended up clubbing together to pay each other's debts (selling properties, calling in loans, generally fiddling the bank), and we lasted quite a while. Eventually we dropped out, though.

Question - do American's play Monopoly with all the English streets and stations, or has it been Americanised?

This is yours:

Here's ours:

You lost the American Revolution, lose 200 years worth of turns.

LIES!! Old Kent Road and Whitechapel Road are Brown.

Monopoly (Whichever oen has the credit cards)

Chess~

I love board games, Trivial Pursuit, Zobmondo, Outburst, Taboo, Balderdash and so forth. I like Pictionary, but we can never seem to make it through a game without a punch being thrown. Thinkblot is fun too, but there are just so many penises in the images.

Qft. Heh.

Aside from chess - which I'm almost afraid to say I like for fear of being associated with Skurai - Cranium.

Monopoly all the way.

I am ruinous dogg

Apparently, I'm great at monopoly. I "beat" three of my friends in a good 20 minutes.

For your next achievement, you need to beat three friends at classic Risk in 20 minutes...

You'd need proof, because that is damn near impossible. Any type of Risk is hard to beat quickly. The Lord of the Rings one is terribly difficult if you play against experienced players.

That's the truth. I don't think i've ever had a game of Risk take less than an hour.
