Crossfire!
Risk and stratego are good ones too.
+1 for stratego.
Scrabble
Monopoly
Axis & Allies
Trivial Pursuit
Not really a board game but Scattegories is always fun, especially when a little tipsy
Settlers of Catan
Carcasonne
Ticket to Ride
Beat me to it. Article on this subject from today's S.F. Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...=entertainment.Quote:

Basicly chutes and ladders, with lifts and runs.

nice, I'll look them up and see where I can get them. Got trivial pursuit yesterday along with chess. saw Settlers of Catan and was wondering what it was/ like. a lot of Settlers of Catan is saying 3 players up. what it like with just 2 players. As Kinosoo and I don't have flat mate also a lot of the time it's just us two.
Cribbage. The perfect 2 person game.

Settlers is definitely best with 3 people. Carcasonne is best as a 2 player game.Quote:

Pente'
PigMania
Backgammon/Acey Deucey is the perfect 2 player ame.
not exactly a board game but apples to apples pretty much kills it
Cribbage, the best two person game, but also a great four person game as well.
And you can play it in a tent during a raging blizzard.
+1 for chess...

Awesome! I know its only a matter of time before Ash brings out the dreaded chutes and ladders for our lil guy. I'm soooo going to replace that stupid game and replace it with this much more appropriate stupid game that you have enlightened me to.Quote:

I recieved a brand new Diamond Edition Scrabble Board for Christmas and, due to this thread, we played a game last night.
I have to "not try so hard" and let her use the dictionary anytime so she'll play Scrabble with me. I am ruthless and stingy with the scrabble, (short, high-point words that don't open anything up, never open a triple word score etc...) I should probably join a league...
I take it too seriously. I just strive to break 300 is all.
I can't believe I'm the only Backgammon fan.
I'm sure some have been said, but Risk, Stratego, Monopoly, and my personal fav recently, Settlers of Catan
heh. i clicked on this thread to mention backgammon.Quote:

It's not a two person game, but I love Apples to Apples.

(8 attacks a 3, person w/ the 3 has to drink 5)
When you tie, you both drink that #.
Anything blows up on a bomb, bong hit.
Defuse a bomb, bong hit.
It's truly the best way to play stratego. You setup your initial strategy dead sober and as the game fumbles on both players begin to make some pretty terrible decisions.
Officially I can't recommend more than one game a night, but it has happened.
On a more serious note if no one has suggested it yet: settlers of catan.
i'd recommend to play Cards Against Humanity. highly popular board games and its really funny.
Scotland Yard is a lot of fun ( I have the older Milton Bradley verson, not sure about the other one) but I also like a good old fashion game of Yahtzee.
Trivial Pursuit original edition is also a fav.
Edit: Got to add Rook too if we're talking card games.
Oh yeah... backgammon is the bomb. Used to play it all the time in college.Quote:

Phase 10. Its Uno on steroids and makes for a fantastic drinking game/way to pass time in the hut
Things.

Craps.
