LOTM: i find that settlers is generally superior to monopoly. i took it with me to my in-laws a few weeks ago, and they described it as a more mellow version of monopoly. it seems to be a far more well put-together in terms of design. most classic board games have bad rules; of which risk is probably the biggest offender.
for something different, you can try robo rally, which has planning elements and a little bit of combat as well. or if you want a more in-depth risk style game look for Shogun/Samurai Swords (i forget which name it goes by now). they're all fairly tight ruleswise.
