The others (not Ben and his gang) include foosball, pool, Parcheesi, pinball, and backgammon.

Status: offline 		Monopoly and Scrabble, but I love them mostly for the memories of playing them with sisters.

During a hurricane, Dad, my two younger sisters, and I set up Monopoly under the light of a couple candles and played half the night.

And Scrabble for a time when I was helping my little sister find a word, so as I'm spelling out "wood" she pronounced it is "wude". It's so silly and ridiculous, but it cracked me up.

but of course, you can't forget Cranium...

"Ticket to Ride" is also a good relatively new one, from Germany. You try to connect train routes across North America (there is a separate European edition). As do many German board games, this has a lot of good gameplay elements mixed together -- it's simple, doesn't take forever, no one gets "kicked out" before the end, and it's fairly engaging.

Another good but less popular one is "The Farming Game", self published by a farmer in Washington state.

Apples to Apples is another fun game, with the right crowd.

Scrabble - brain power required
Chess - hundreds of years of family fun and still one of the best strategy game
Card games - especially Cribbage (addicted with no support group to turn to ) and UNO
RISK is also a contender. Along with Clue and Battleship.

lotta fun.

Status: offline 		I love any crowd pleasing games such as Balderdash and Cranium. Strategy games are also fun for me but aren't very good for large crowds. I hate games that are like skip-bo and uno. You can't do anything for multiple rounds if you don't have the right cards. Plus the "punishment" cards are based solely on how they are dealt.....no strategy involved there. That equals boring for me. I played Jenga last week with some family members. It's a decent game and is fun to take pictures during the game. I took a couple when the tower actually fell. Great reaction shots!

My favorite game of all time is called "mao." The rules vary from place to place which makes it more exciting. You are only told the object of the game, which is to get rid of all your cards. The catch is you have to learn the rules as you go. If you don't obey the rules, you get penalized more cards until you do it right. A few people hate the game because they fail to catch on but usually we play the game for hours at a time because people are having too much fun.

What's the "Boardwalk" of that version? Do the prices reflect the same prices as in the original? I have heard that some of the newer versions have "updated" pricing for the properties.

I have the Pittsburgh Steelers version as well as the classic.

yeah it's sad a 4 year old game like ttr is labeled as new but when compared to the same old games that stores have sold for decades, it's fairly accurate. i think most of that list is up there because that is main choice american consumers have. please can play ttr for free online at daysofwonder.com can watch how to play video, only takes a few minutes to learn and will be lots of fun.

speaking of farming games, have you played agricola yet? i've read so many good things about it, not sure it's available yet unless you've pre-ordered.

my fave game now might be saint petersburg or puerto rico / san juan
