I used to love Othello. No one plays it these days, though.

Loved that game and play with father as well as bat-gammon.

Other ones are the general monopoly and balderdash

I am a massive fan of board games. currently have Ticket to ride, Kingdom Builder, Pandemic, resistance, forbidden desert, Munchkin and Swords over camelot. Also have a few card games too like star flux and zombie flux.

Pandemic is a bitch of a game which is a cooperative game vs the game itself. I have played it on the hardest setting around 10 times and only won twice.
resistance is a great game for 5 - 10 players. gets the people around the table accusing each other and screaming bloody murder at everyone.

if your into board games the check out tabletop on youtube with Will Wheaton. he and a few mates play the games and explain as they play.

Cannot BELIEVE no one has mentioned Monopoly yet - its the KING.

 

[Stat Brother]

We play Jnr Monopoly, a fair bit.
Along with Frustration & chess as specific board games.

Querkle, Uno, and Jenga get a good look in too, although not board games.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

BN1 boardgame about Brighton.

Cluedo

Nothing wrong with chess. In fact more people should play it. It teaches making decisions, planning, learning from mistakes. It is perfect for kids as a life foundation. Im a big advocate of it.

Articulate. Can be hilarious with the right people.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Not a board game but been playing Beatle this Christmas. Very simple, total luck as to who wins and all ages can play.

Swords over Camelot? Is that the same as shadows over Camelot? I've only played that a few times but it was tough to win (not that that's a bad thing).

my sister told me about boardgamegeek which is a forum that ranks board games so you can find out the latest releases and how good people think they are

Old school version of Monopoly, not the new stuff like Monopoly Empire etc.....
