Yeah, I am wondering what everyone's favorite type of board/card/similar game is. I personally like the long-lasting strategic ones, such as Monopoly or Risk. I dislike trivia ones, where everyone is shouting out noisily as fast as they can.

I like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble. I can never find anyone around to play them with though, my husband prefers video games.

I like a good role-playing game. Right now, I'm involved in a campaign in Vampire: the Requiem; the campaign is on hold for the next four months, because my cohusband, a crucial member of our coterie, is in Iraq right now. (Reasonably enough, his character is Brujah, and a bit of a gunbunny; mine is a Mekhet hacker who's on the run from the Prince of New Orleans. Hey, it's not really his fault - his sire neglected to tell him that the offshore account he was draining belonged to the Prince - but the fiefdom of New Orleans is not a good place for him to be, these nights...)

Card games like Munchkin and Apples To Apples are fun, too!

heh, I designed my own battleship grid and did pictures and all that then went and had them laminated so I could play with my sister. We used white board markers so we could just wipe and play again.
