Risk and Scrabble are tied for first for me.

Monopoly comes a close second.

PanzerBlitz or Panzer Leader would be my choice.

From your choices though I would go with Monopoly.

What is my favourite in my opinion? Scrabble. In everyone else's opinion, though, my favourite is Monopoly. With such an overwhelming majority, they must be right!

I was going to say Settlers but I didn't know whether anyone else would know of it. I like the Cities and Knights expansion too. Though I suck at it. I never win. I just try to build a peaceful stable economy on the other side of the island to everyone else :P

Monopoly is definitely my favorite. It's absolute proof that money is the root of all evil- 2-6 people fighting their heads off over fake money and assets for hours on end XD. Always a good time when someone draws a 'Go to Jail' card.

I know this is just Knitpicking, but money isn't the Root of a all Evil :|

The correct Phrase is "The Love of money is the Root of all Evil".

Money can't be evil, cuz money has no emotions

Scrabble. I'm fairly good at it. Boggle would seem right up my alley but I'm that high on it. I also enjoy Risk and Stratego.

Risk is alot of fun to play with alot of people. I also love playing some chess, monopoly and Clue. One game I haven't played in years but was alot of fun to play when I was younger was Omega Virus. That game was so much fun and was always popular to play.

Monopoly. The thing that makes it so great are those "i only have purple slums" comebacks that can take hours upon hours of slow progress. You can turn it completely around on someone and bring their real estate empire crashing down on top of them.

No greater feeling in the world of board games than finally bankrupting that person who was oh so sure they had you living homeless under a bridge.

Probably the greatest game ever...period. Not just on boards.

From those options, Monopoly I suppose. I remember once I got my cousin so angry after I swindled her on a debt-repayment-massive-interest scheme that she literally tossed the board across the room and stormed out of the house. Well, shouldn't default on your loans then, eh deadbeat?

It's so much more fun when you add "special rules."
