Favourite ever board game?

[Brightonfan1983]

Following on from computer game threads, it occurs to me I whiled away hours when I was growing up, playing Totopoly.

Can you ever beat the old Monopoly / Scrabble / Cluedo favourites?

 

[Donny Osmond]

scrabble. Simple but effective. Like this post.

 

[DTES]

No, you can't. Nothing will beat Monopoly. Although MouseTrap will always be up there too.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Monoply. Nothing beats the BIDDING.

Risk - I was in the middle of an all night war with a group of former work colleagues when the first Gulf war started. It was a bit surreal turning the telly on in the morning, as the Middle East had been the fulcrum of our battle all night.

Risk for me. Remember being 19 or 20 and going from the club to a mates house, playing until 9:30 back to the pub for the next session.

Totopoly, remember that ?

 

[perth seagull]

Monopoly, but I can't stand losing in that game!

 

[Brighton Jock]

Monopoly for me ........

Definitely Risk, used to spend bloody hours trying to take over the world. Always take Australasia first then work from there.
Happy (mainly stoned) days.

Fanzine Editor, you play the part of a student in Hull who has to put together a 20 page fanzine in two months, but has to overcome a series of obstacles (playing rugby, avoiding paying taxes, getting your washing done by your mum, helping your girlfriend cut her toenails etc.)

I don't think anyone has ever won when playing it though.

 

[Gazwag]

Mousetrap and Kerplunk. Both seriously over rated games.

As a kid I always wanted both but on playing them it took so long to set the game up and were a big anti climax.

Cluedo and Monopoly for me.

 

[Marshy]

There can only be one winner and that is Chess.
Closely followed by Backgammon.

 

[Trufflehound]

Totopoly for me too.

 

[Digweeds Trousers]

I think someone should devise a game based on the Albion.

Starting from scratch, no propoerties, building up cash, blowing it on crap, instead of communirty chest you have a season ticket card that entitles you to various things etc..............

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Risk, all the way. Nothing like being a back-stabbing, power-hungry dictator.

 

[Braders]

trivial pursuit - knowledge is the master

 

[Dover]

Monopoly. Played it yesterday evening, and was trounced. Loved every minuite.

 

[keaton]

Chess and Risk are a class above

 

[Easy 10]

Pictionarys a good laugh. And I bought Cranium over Christmas which is excellent. Trivial Pursuit is always a fave. Oh and Humbug, I like Humbug.

Easily pleased really.
