It's been ages since I played. Monopoly, Las Vegas were two favorites.
I use to play Scrabble a few times a week, but since my grandchild was born I've been spending time with him. I always liked Risk, Monopoly and any Trivia. Disney trivia was always a favorite of my kids. Funny how a subject can bring back memories and put a smile on your face.
@Donotbelieve thank you
Not often enough:
Pandemic (with expansions)
Flash Point: Fire Rescue (with full expansions)
Elder Sign
Wurhful Bonhanza (and I am sure I have the spelling wrong)
Carcassonne
Catan (though I reburn out on this quickly)
Qwirkle
Ticket to Ride
The Eurorails series (any of that type rail game, but burnout again)
Oh, and scores more. Most of which are in storage.
Cut my gaming eye teeth on D&D as well as "Melee, Wizard and Deathtest" and war games (SPI Middle Earth war games, the favorite was the siege of that last major city at the end of the trilogy, whose name escapes me). Because of this I bored of 'normal' board games way back when.
Moved to Arizona, met a bunch of great guys (not a lot of gamer gals back then, sadly, was truly the 'nerd' culture you see in the movies) who introduced me to a WIDE variety of games: Roleplay (D&D, Champions, Morrow Project, Chivalry and Sorcery), Board games, card games and... more.
We were actually a game design shop (Blade) making T&T materials (Tunnels & Trolls).
Helluva time... and I'd still play any of the above with the right crowd. Can't seem to break the ice locally.
I play scrabble a few times a month and have recently added monopoly to the arsenal
...it’s no doubt just me.. But as kids we were ‘forced’ to play board games in a cabin with no TV. I hate them! And, that’s been a problem ..cuz apparently everyone else loves them… Card games, too. Shit - I’d rather watch paint dry.. I’m no fun with ‘bored games,’ but pretty creative when others are willing to step outside
Rummikub! No down time, makes your brain actually feel fatigue after about 2 hours.
@Donotbelieve played that often as well.
