Monopoly and Risk were probably the most commonly played among mainstream boardgames.
Then there were the wargames my friends and I were into. Starfleet Battles was a tactical game set in an alternate Star Trek universe that existed by virtue of a weird copyright thing. Civilization was the game that ultimately inspired the popular series of computer games. Kingmaker was a strategy game of the War of the Roses. There were more but those were ones we came back to a lot.
Then there was Diplomacy, which kind of fell in between (sold as a mainstream boardgame but played like a more sophisticated strategic wargame).

Definitely Risk but if you think Monopoly's long....
I don't mind long games though.

70s-80s monopoly , i still have it and i would never sell it 
haha Nice. I haven't been to a Dave and Busters in several decades.There is a life size version of that game at Dave n Busters. Its pretty fun.
I absolutely love playing chess with friends. It might even be the only board game that I play. It stimulates me to think and develop strategies. This helps not only in the game but in real-life tasks as well. I don't play board games that often, although.
It's hard to pick just one, but I'd say my favorite board game is Settlers of Catan. I love the strategic elements and the way it combines resource management with negotiation. It's always a lot of fun to play with friends, and no two games are ever the same. The game also has a good balance of luck and skill, which keeps things interesting. Plus, there are expansions that add even more variety and complexity.
Settlers of Catan is definitely my favourite board game. So fun!
Chess. I've been playing it for years, and I'm always finding creative new ways to lose all my pieces .
But for something more modern: I really like Cascadia. I've only played it twice so far, but I enjoyed both games immensely!

I think Monopoly, just because I have great memories of flexing my vast amounts of pretend cash and even throwing some around the table, being a little jerk and saying "here, feed your family" to other players XD
I'd say Risk. It's quite the time commitment, but it's a great strategy game. Since a lot of people have mentioned Monopoly, I also wanted to mention how cool the local inspired Monopoly games are. I'm not sure who all has this where they are, but just about every Walmart you go to has a Monopoly game that is inspired by the local town/city. For example, we've got Nashville-opoly, but even the smaller towns have their own game.
