What is your favorite board game?

12. I have Puerto Rico fatigue.
Played it so much I can't stand it anymore.

My current fixes are El Grande and Wallenstein. Sometimes Attack!, but I suck horribly at that one.

16. What is "Puerto Rico?"
I am Puerto Rican and have never heard of it.

23. Thanks. Too bad nobody actually
has a plantation there anymore. Everyone buys their produce at the supermarket! Except for a handful of farmers that still exist.

thanks again!

2. Scrabble and Monopoly I would have to say....
I used to have all kinds of different board games, but now I only have a few.

Anyone remember Supremacy? Made by some Canadian company, and there were several "expansion packs" made for it too. Kinda like Risk with more detail and realism.

6. That looks fun.
I forgot to mention Trivial Pursuit 90's edition. Fun, but harder than you would think.

17. How not to like a board game that has "Nuclear Holocaust" as a valid move?

9. I like Monopoly too, but I'm really good at it
and that scares me. I always feel bad bankrupting the other players for landing on Boardwalk with 3 hotels on it.

11. Um....
You aren't supposed to have more than one hotel on any single property. Then again you aren't supposed to have a "jackpot" for hitting Free Parking either, or double money for an exact land on Go. :)

8. Trivial Pursuit, The Settlers of Catan
Settlers is a really cool game, in case you never heard of it.

20. I got my friends hooked
Edited on Tue May-10-05 04:01 PM by giant_robot
now they have all the expansion sets! I only have the basic game. It's available on eBay for only about $25 US, if you're interested in buying a copy.

19. I like Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit the best.
I have (I may have lost count here) 16-17 different varieties of TP. It might be more; I got three for Christmas this past year.
