Games like chess, risk and monopoly are cool in their own way, and very deep and technical (well maybe the first 2, monopoly not so much).

But I prefer charades style games where everyone has to act and do silly things to gain points for their team, it's very socially therapeutic IMO.

I recently played a game called "Cranium" (which is like a next level charades involving singing/clay modelling/backwards spelling/blindfold drawing etc.) while doing lines of ketamine with some friends. Results were... interesting. Best fun I've had in ages!

my favorite one is most probably monopoly, i play it kinda often
me too ilike playing Monopoly and Domino

Up-vote those 2, and add that game with snakes and stairs (totally forgot the name tho).

lol you're close, it was snakes and ladders board game exactly, isn't it?

^The only board game that I really enjoy playing with my younger brother when we were a kids.

Same, before smartphones and computers , snakes & ladders were our favorite pastime and bonding activity. But nowadays those kind of board games were starting to extinct. Embarrassed
I still play snakes and ladders... It's still so fun. I have no idea why it makes it so fun, but its fun and that's what counts. yeah, ^ it's going extinct except for some kids that buy it from Walmart or the dollar store. Even more so than those dinosaurs that nobody knows about Smiley Personal fave is monopoly. Cash and board games? OH YEAH! Just like Canadian money. :DD

No one mentioned risk. Monopoly is good but risk is a favorite of mine fun game.

Pretty sure I mentioned it couple comments before  Grin
but to be honest I never understood the rules of it, too complicated for me  Undecided

You need to read the handbook when ever I play this with family they never read the rule book so annoying it's only like 5 pages. Also if you do play don't play castle risk or any other alternative version just play by classic rules. My rule book has a second part for castle risk so just skip that. It is a VERY long game but once you read the rules it's not hard to play.

I don't play a lot of board games, but when i do i enjoy the large scale strategy ones such as Settlers of Catan or Risk. Risk is probably my favorite of all time because it is great to play with a group of friends. The games like scrabble i dont like because it is just between 2 people.

Most board games are fun with a group of friends and I love to play chess because it is strategic and challenging.

I do not play board games because I feel they are too slow and doesn't spike my interest. However, I don't mind playing every once in awhile with friends and family.

Oh yeah, there was a game here called Risk (no idea what it's called in other countries), the board have the world map and your goal is to conquer it, but you need to prepare your self in advance because the rules book took me a good 3 hours to read first time.

i never play anything else than chess and checkers, those are the best games and i never need a replacement

This would be true for me as well. Logically, these games assist you in developing faster thought process in quick instances where you have to make the best judgement.
