What's your favorite board game?

Building the contraption was PART OF THE GAME!!! (In Mouse Trap.)

[Lavabe]

There are several good ones on here, to which I would like to add Mouse Trap.

Mouse Trap always looked super duper cool to me, but my family never had it. Every time I asked a friend who did have it if we could play, they'd always tell me it wasn't worth the trouble of putting it all together, so I've never actually seen the contraption in action.

You can't play Mouse Trap if you have a pet dog.

No particular order - Jeopardy, Monopoly, Risk, Clue, Mousetrap, & Operation from my childhood. Candyland now - cuz it means you have kids around. Not sure if they qualify as board games: Hungry Hungry Hippo and Fleas on Fred - they both make me laugh.

Balderdash is fun also.

I'm a huge fan of Risk. We used to have Risk parties in college, they were huge. I would like to start this up again. Just gotta make EJ and wilson drive to Charlotte.
I also enjoy Monopoly, Clue, Whodonit, Scattegories, and Cranium. There's another game, whose name I can't remember, where one player reads a question to which the responds must write their answer in secret; sometimes it's a definition, sometimes a phrase or Movie title, etc. The answers are then read by the player and he attempts to guess which player wrote each answer. Tons of fun to play with my nephew.

Does Yahtzee count? I like Yahtzee.

Every time there was a snow day when I was at Duke (about once a year), we'd get hammered and play Risk. We played at other times too, but the snow/Risk days were the best.
Your board game tastes are right in line with mine. Maybe I really should drive to Charlotte (or we could round up EarlJam and you could come to Atlanta).

Speaking of which, where the hell's EarlJam?

Yeah it might make more sense for me to come down to Atlanta. Though we may need to procure some sort of legal and medical assistance for a Risk party. That kind of marathon drinking can lead to problems, or so I've heard.
