I used to play this a lot as a kid. My family loved this one.

I always liked Chinese Checkers and Parchesi a lot too. Also Stratego, and of course there's Monopoly.

Racko and Uno are great family card games too. I loved Racko.

My favorite board game of all time is Go. Inifinite depth and great complexity, and you can play and study it for a lifetime. Kind of the Japanese/Chinese version of Chess, with whole encyclopedias of moves and a huge supporting literature of analysis.

I'm curious how the Warhammer tabletop games might play.

Cranium and for some reason my wife enjoys Balderdash.

Get a few in you and you get some pretty funny definitions.

Backgammon, cribbage, chess.

Haha, I love how the biggest ladder goes to the kid doing something more dangerous than any of the "chute" kids.

How about a Crimson Challenge board game?

Second lunch money, settlers, apples to apples and puerto rico.

Will add al hambra and guillotine.

Interesting observation, although skating on thin ice is arguably much more dangerous.
