[Quiet Man Cometh]

one of my favourites was Parcheesi, and I used to play Chess and Sorry! as well, and Monopoly even though we never really finished a game or played it properly. I still play several board games but they are the more advanced, European sort now like Settlers of Catan, Talisman, pseudo rpgs that last several hours, etc.

One of my favourite games is a deceptively simple card based game called Citadels. Each player picks a card with a profession that determines how the turn goes. Much of the game is poker-esque strategy as your best shot at winning is by figuring out which person is playing what profession (it's hidden) at any given time.
