As much as computer games are exciting, there's still something about sitting down and playing a board game with friends or your significant other.



Of course there's are also hybrid trivia type games that use both computers, tv and a traditional board for game play.



So what's your favourite. Chess?, Clue?, Trouble? Parcheesi?Boggle? For me, that old trusty standby of Scrabble still rule. And to this day, I'm still 4-0 against my girlfriend.

    Microsoft!!!!! er, I mean monopoly!!! Ironic. And of course Risk in any form. Star wars jedi knight Epic Duals is fun too. I like card games more though.

    I always loved Monopoly, but right now, my favorite game is Settlers of Catan. To me it is like a combination of Sim City and Civilization. You build cities and roads in the island of Catan and earn victory points.

    I was a real board game monster as a kid. At my parents' house we have a whole room filled with old toys, with shelves upon shelves of games.



    I'm still a sucker for Monopoly, RISK and the odd trivia game.

    Cribbage.



    After that, probably Scrabble & TriOnimos (although no board for the latter).



    Nobody will play Risk with me anymore.



    Sorry! is a blast, as is Monopoly. Battleship is also good.

    I love playing a German one called "Der Siedler von Catan."



    It's a turn based strategy game with resources, but no military units. It all has to do with commerce, economy, and blocking your opponent from vital resources they need to build their cities. It's quite fun if not a bit complex.

    Yeah, Go! I like those kind, like Go and Chess and that five-in-a-row game. But I think I'm getting to old for them. When I was about 17, I'd eat those types of games up, and study books and all that. Now, in my 30s, they make my head hurt and instead I just watch Elimidate.
