Poll: Favorite & Worst Board Game?

[Liquidator Queeg]

Favs:

Trivial Pursuit. Da Boss. Da King!
Risk. So Cool! When I played it religiously in university, we made up about a dozen pages of house rules.
Blood Bowl. Perhaps not a board game, per se. But very fun.
NTN. A satellite trivia game played in pubs--hey you use a board, OK! Beer is not optional. For those here who might play often, my handle is TOOL. I make the top 20 overall in North America from time to time.

Not so favs:
Life. ZZZZzzzz.
Monopoly. ZZZZzzzz x2.
Star Trek: TNG Trivia Board Game. Came out in 1991 or 1992. The questions are way too easy for any self-respecting Star Trek fan.
Too many others to list.

Of course, the Star Wars monopoly game is a completely different matter.

Axis & Allies is the best as long as the players don't have a sook over certain issues

Risk was a problem everytime I played it with mates. But the computer versions were always cool to play.

Risk was never a problem for me. I usually win the first game and then have all 5 guys attack me in the next 40 - 50 games to get me out. I'm just really lucky at Risk.

I am totally the other way.

Risk with friends can be fun despite the shouting, scheming, teaming up and the like... In fact thats what makes it.

But against the computer, I found that the players'Random rolls' always came upo 1 or 2, and when the computer opponant gets 6 every time, I start to suspect the code...

And I know I was being paranoid, but if you roll the dice yourself you have nobody left to blame, on a randomn number generator, accusation can be levelked at everyone but yourself! ;D

I prefer doing the ganging up... First among equals and all that!
