If you count Connect 4 as a board game, that's one we play a lot too. Czar pretty much beats the crap out of everyone he plays in that game. F***er.

Risk. It pairs nicely with my napoleonic complex.

Oh wait, forgot Risk. Another one we're really competitive over. The key to that game is Australia, btw.

Is chess a board game, or is it in a category by itself?

Risk was my favorite board game. Competitive..moi? My brothers like to tell the story that if I didn't win, the game was never completed. If I could see I was going lose, I would flip the board up in anger. Ah, it's great being the youngest kid in the family! ;)

Apples and Oranges is a great party game. It can be tough not to laugh when my pairing comes up, and I have particularly amused myself.

You people. Momma is from Iowegia. Where they're snowed in for months. I'm from Tucson, where there's no snow. Our favorite board games:

Sorry! (uh, hello?)
Scattergories.
Imaginiff.
The game of Life.

Trivial pursuit is one of my personal faves, but I always win, and nobody wants to play anymore.

No thanks, the last time I played that game I was inundated with monkeys that were smarter than me. I didn't know which one to spank.

I remember playing this as a kid. Apparently it's now highly sought after by collectors of such things.

No. I always play chess on vacation at resorts with the three foot tall pieces. Right on the ground.

Yes, obviously chess is played on a board, but to me, it's not in the same category as Monopoly etc. Everyone has played chess. Not everyone has played "Life" or "Clue".

Momma must be good people, because only good people (like IndySooner, for example) come from Iowa.

Monopoly and Risk for me. I like world domination.
