What are some really fun board games?

Question

that you have actually played before & liked.

Answer 1

I enjoy Scrabble, Clue, and don't know if its really considered a board game but Jenga is a lot of fun.

Answer 2

Me love Monopoly, Scrabble, Sorry, Yahtzee (well, that's really dice!), Life, that Star Wars game that was out in the late '90s (don't have it anymore, unfortunately!).

I didn't do much board games. I did more card, dice, and video games. But board games are fun! I miss having people to do them with.

Answer 3

There are a wide variety of board games, so much more than you may realise, so it depends on what kinds of things you like.  Simpler strategy games that are not too difficult, play in a fairly short time, include Apples to Apples (great party game), Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Ingenious, TreeHouse, and Blokus.

To get a better feel for some of them, take a look at http://boardgamegeek.com - this is *the* premier website on the topic.  You may also want to see if you have a local gaming group - check out http://boardgames.meetup.com/

Answer 4

My favorites are Apples to Apples, Dilbert The Board Game, Scattergories, and Pictionary.

Answer 5

Settlers of Catan - a great game of trading and building.  If you've never played a board game more involved than Monopoly, this is a great first 'real' game to try.

Gifttrap - while totally light and silly, for a fun party game with friends (or relative strangers with a good sense of humor) this is hilarious fun.

Pitchcar (or Pitchcar mini) - a dexterity game of flicking carrom race cars around a track, this game has gone over well with everyone from little kids to grandparents to drunk med school students.

Nexus Ops - one of my favorite light strategy/action games.  Its a fast moving and exciting sci-fi themed strategy game.  If you'ved played Risk, it will look vaguely familiar, but there's much more variety (you can recruit several kinds of critters with different abilities), plays much faster, and is based around completing missions instead of completely eliminating the other players.

Factory Fun - a hard to find but fantastic puzzle game.  You need to race against other players to pick the machines for your factory, then you've got a challenging puzzle to figure out how to best fit them in.

Good luck finding something, and happy gaming!
