Yes! I come from a family which has a long history of playing board games, card games, other tabletop games.
My Dad, brother, and I played historical military board games, sometimes between ourselves, sometimes with friends.
And as an individual interest for me, miniatures games.

I used to, but I haven't in years. A favorite of mine was one based on The Hobbit. I forget its name, though.

YES! I love board games but it's hard to find people to play with. I particularly enjoy the Euro-Strategy type games, and like ones with specific themes (ie. trains, world's fair, etc.)

Have you tried MeetUp.com? You can see if there is a board game meet up in your area, and if not, you could start one.

Yes, I love board games (and card, dice and video games).

Some of my recent favorites are Tobago, Mancala (i had only played it as a video game, but this summer i got to play it IRL), Treasure Lair, Big Foot, Masmorra Dungeons of Arcadia, Quads, Quadefy, Quoridor, Quarto, Six, Crossroad, Surakarta, Kulami, Goblet and brainteasers like Smart cookies, Chocolate fix and La Boca. (And now you know how I spent my summer! :D )
Most of the games I like tend to be light or light/medium.

Hello,

I like Scrabble and Monopoly (Original). I have a lay-by now on a Prestige Scrabble set.

I play a lot of Words With Friends. A game similar to Scrabble but played on-line.

We just played a few today.

I've been playing a lot of AD&D lately, if that counts.

Everyone always loves Scrabble, but I'm really bad at it. I never get enough letters to make a word longer than two or three, and that just ruins the game =|
