I figured I'd get in on the action.

For me, it's either Chutes & Ladders or Candyland.

[BoxTree]

Settlers of Catan.

And for the thread's theme, Mouse Trap.

Chess.

I didn't realize serious games were acceptable answers.

In that case, I'll say Backgammon, Chess, Go, Chinese Checkers, Risk, and Monopoly.

1) Mousetrap
2) Fat Chance
3) Whodunit?

Did you ever actually play this game or just setup the mousetrap and set it off?

Guess Who?

[BoxTree]

There was actually a game to be played? I thought the object of the game was to get the trap to function correctly.

Sh[/i]it. It looked great in the preview window; I used the URL tag like I always do (I've posted many links in here). I have no idea why it spazzed this time.

And it's too late to edit.

good call.

[InchoateHand]

Risk is a great way to lose all your friends. Does anyone not cheat, given an opportunity?

[Paluka]

Puerto Rico

[Shaman]

Monopoly too. But Priceless may be the best ever.

[TheIrishThug]

the name of this thread is "Best Board Games"

now i'm a fan of hungry hungry hippos just like everyone else, but its not a board game just like many of the other names ppl have posted.

i'm gonna have to go with monopoly. if i play more risk i'll see if i change my mind.

there is a lot more to life than risk and monopoly. i can't believe poker players would actually list monopoly as a favorite.

links that are generated from searches have characters that mess up the URL tag.

quick and simple way to clean up the link - when you are at the target thread click the THREADED/FLAT link at the top right a couple times, then copy the resulting link and put that in the URL tag.

this should Work (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1715163&page=&view=&sb=5& o=&vc=1)

Axis and Allies is great. Madgabs is fun if you are drinkin with a large group. Trivial Pursuit is always a winner.

[Dominic]

Risk! Duh.

Dude, Monopoly IS a serious game. And it's not even close.

[MicroBob]

Chess
Pente
Othello
Scrabble
Stratego
Quadular (a goofy 4-way chess type game I had when I was kid)
Trouble (because the die is in that little poppy-bubble thing)
Trivial Pursuit
Boggle (I guess this isn't really a board-game per-se)
Parchesi
Chinese checkers

[Klak]

monopoly with drinking rules and also settlers is awesome.

[J5983]

Diplomacy
Cosmic Encounter (NOT the new 4 player version. EON or Mayfair.)

Diplomacy is the best in terms of game play, but Cosmic Encounter is the best in general because getting 7 players for Diplomacy is a huge pain.

[The Dude]

The "Rails Games" made by Mayfair. In order:
Dragon Rails
Euro Rails
Australian Rails
Empire Builder
Nippon Rails
British Rails
Lunar Rails
