What is the best board game of all time?
-
My husband and I are planning a couple rounds of Trivia Pursuit - Pop Culture edition ( one of the game pieces is a garden gnome- how cool is that?) in a little bit. I have a feeling that most of us on this site are more drawn to video games or computer games but board games feel so much more organic. What do ou think was/is the best board game? Risk? Life? Scrabble? Trivia Pursuit? Connect 4? Chess? Checkers? Do you still play board games?
"Go To Texas", but I don't think it's made any more.

Scrabble, chess, backgammon, trivia... Those are probably my all-time favorites. Risk is a lot of fun with the right people, same for Axis and Allies - but both lose their fun if you're playing with people who have no patience or sense of humor. This goes double for Monopoly.

Hi, I think Chess is without a doubt the best board game of all times, and on the second place Checkers, both are very nice to play. One game that is missing in the list is Go which would be on the third place for me.:)

My wife and I enjoy Upwords and Boggle. My wife likes Rummikub, but I'm not a big fan. When I was a kid, my brother loved Sorry. You'd think it's just a luck game, but he won the vast majority of the time.

Chutes and Ladders! :laugh: Backgammon and chess for 2 people. Monopoly and Risk are great, but can drag on forever. Pictionary can be fun, especially when nobody can draw, and the alcohol is flowing. :)

I used to spend a whole lot of time playing Advanced Squad Leader[^]. Of course, most of the time was spent trying to figure out the rules :| The rulebook was a 3-ring binder holding hundreds of pages. In very small print... :rolleyes:

This one[^]. :laugh: j/k I remember seeing this in my friend's parent's house when we were in 3rd grade. Why this was the first thing that popped into my mind just now, I have no idea. Battleship is clearly superior to all other games.

I love musical trivial pursuit. The musos in my church play a game every new years eve. One year, I got into the middle ( meaning I was one question away from victory ). I asked to be asked the question about blues, or roots music, or something like that, as I'd been reading about it a lot. They peeked at the question and laughed, and asked it. It was something like 'what train would you be catching if you wanted to go down the line'. Something esoteric based on a lyric. They all laughed at my low odds of getting it right. The answer ( and I'll nevr forget this ) was the Wabash Cannonball. I still don't know how that goes, who sang it, or how I knew it, but I pulled it out of thin air and won. Any sort of music trivia game, I love it. I bought two games like that last time I was stateside.

Looking at the rules at A Board Games Database, it appears to be a Monopoly close. What was different about it? -- Tim

Hi leckey:) Sorry that my reply was this late but i placed my reaction last night when i was done with programming and just opened my mailbox, the Go game is i think a Japanese or Chinese game that's all about enclosing peaces of the opposite collor,it's a game for two persons and very strategic, on google you can find applets to play it but the board game version (wooden board with stone peaces) i like the most, the link below gives a view of the Go board http://sente.epfl.ch/software/goban/[^] I think you like it when you have played it like most people who like games do

Chess is the best of all time, but I think Monopoly is the best of recent times.
Yep, I have to agree.
