    What are your favorite classic board games?

    My favorites are Chess, Scrabble, and Axis and Allies. I've been playing Chess since I was 5, and I play in tournaments now. I'm rated about 1450, which is pretty good for my age. . My new love is scrabble. I once got lucky enough to get an 8 letter word, sweating, across 2 triples for 149. Its indescribable how cool that is. Axis and Allies is also cool. Don't know why. Its addictive. "Life" is a very overrated game IMO. Same with checkers. Its too simple. Diplomacy is also a cool game. Risk is also great, but it gets boring if you play it enough. Anyway, what are your favorite games?

        In addition to checkers and Monopoly, I think Sorry! was another good game.

                  Axis and Allies! I only have the vanilla version sadly.
                  I also voted for Risk, Chess, and Monopoly.

                        Chess, Monopoly and Risk are my top trio.

                        But for some reason, the ability to vote on polls is not functioning at the moment.

                              Monopoly - still the champion of board games
                              Risk - Haven't lost a game in 8 years now
                              Life - corny, but I enjoy it when with a fun group

                              You forgot:

                              Clue
                              Mystery Mansion (you build it as you go! come on, that's cool!)
                              Careers
                              Trivial Pursuit

                              Another favorite, though too little known to be a classic I suppose, is MB's Hotels. Anyone know it?

                              Axis & Allies: Takes too damn long to set up in the board game form. Prefer the computer version immensely.
