Monopoly - you have to wait for ages to get the property you want, if you can get it at all.

Trouble - just when you can see the end you get bumped back to the start.

Cludo - you assume that someone has done something without any real proof.

Answer 6

I think Risk because whenever you strike out for a new territory, you could wind up leaving yourself open to losing everything you already had but in order to win the game you just have to go for it.  At some point, any relationship truly worth it shouldn't be a game but something more stable and serious though anyway.  Unfortunately, most of us are lucky to find that once or twice in a whole lifetime.
