Best board game

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

I'll be putting forward that suggestion, actually, next time we have a game. Specialized themes sound like fun :P

What's your favorites, mate? Or are you too cool for non-computerized games?

I'm not cool mate - I can barely log on,and wouldn't know a computer game if it bit me on the bell end.
I used to love chess with a passion,but it just became obsessive,and I would sulk for days when I lost.
Mad,I know,but that's how it was.
Now I just stick to the odd game of Monopoly,which I always lose,as a good Socialist should.
I can,however, see myself getting hooked,(see what I did there?),by four hour fish-themed Scrabble.


EDIT - I have just seen GSC's post,and am currently frantically revising all known types of lichen,prior to a Four Hour Lichen-Themed Scrabble evening.
We'll see who the fucking daddy is...

Don't make the same schoolboy error as me and mistake certain mosses for lichen!

Cheers for the heads up.
I did manage to come across Kate Moss.
Which was nice.

Risk, Balderdash and Cluedo

Pretty much mine if you add Monopoly, but Balderdash, with the right people and a similar sense of humour (plus a few beers and maybe a shmoke) it's got to be the funniest game ever, I bet most people have never heard of it yet alone play it.

Scrabble fan here too.

Special mention for RISK (although not played it for years)

risk, scrabble, cluedo & chess all worth a mention.

'Logo' is pretty decent

Blow football, with the deluxe drool proof playing area.

other than the ones previously mentioned, I'd add Buccaneer (Waddingtons) and
Escape from Colditz (Parker Bros); had hours of fun as a kid with these.

Used to love playing escape from colditz, bringing back childhood memories does that

Cluedo for me

And me... Never been beaten!!!

trivial pursuit is good, but its a long night when you can't land on the right "cheeser" squares.

best ever was a game called "ghost Castle" when we were kids. took longer to set up than the game lasted, but it had a glow in the dark skull and everything.
