What’s your favorite board game?

It was Candyland but the grandkids are older now.

Clue will always be my favorite board game!

I loved it so much as a kid that I had like 5 different versions, saw the movie like every day, bought books!

Scattergories

Checkers...I never really got into anything really other than Checkers.

Sorry was our go to game as kids, so I suppose that. I was never really into board games.

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.

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.

 

[InMyOpinion]

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!

 

[Bawse]

Definitely Risk. Monopoly #2.

 

[PsychoticThoughts]

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
