Poker, but, I don't think of that as a board game.

Skip-bo, again, not a board game, is a good, mindless, game to play when you're too ripped to play anything else.

I think it is a game for people who like to scheme taking over the world

Advanced Third Reich was always my favorite. 26 pages of fine print rules! Hundreds of pieces!

QuoteA3R demands a high level of attention to detail: strategy includes diplomatic, economic, and surrender level conditions, in addition to ground, air, and naval combat. The optional Research rules, which are available as part of the ERS game package, add the ability to focus on additional strategies and capabilities, including Axis fomenting of insurrection in the Middle East, research and production of jets, rockets, and super-submarines, use of British commandos, etc. Designed to reflect the corp scale, a turn represents three months of movement and fighting. Players will find themselves engulfed in complications, upsets, and perhaps victory if their plans meet reality.

You would have been right at home at our game nights in Pasadena, CA. I wonder how many people have even heard of Cosmic Encounter. I used to LOVE that game. Prolly still would but it's been years.

Talisman

Oh, Talisman! Talisman is the best. Talk about starting fights over rules interpretations though, man! You can't even get new copies of Talisman though. You have to get old ones on eBay or something.

Probably Monopoly. Poker is a fun game, not much board action there thoug.

Risk is an alright game, we played that a lot in Iraq. Irony.

Risk
Go

Sorta-kinda trivial pursuit. I love reading the cards but I don't find the game fun.
