Since there is no specific place to post this I was told this was good. 

I've always been a fan of the game Easy Money. It's quite similar when compared to Monopoly, but has a different feel and aesthetic. I also enjoy playing Scrabble as well.

I like this thread. Board games are not talked about too much around here. As a kid I never really played board games, I didn't have anyone to play with the same as now. I have no friends and don't like to play them BUT my wife really likes them so she makes me play sometimes. She really likes that Apples to Apples (or something like that) game and that one where you read off a thing then the person has to say if its true or false. I expect I will be playing alot of board games when my daughter gets older and wants to play.

So, how did you get into board games?

I am not sure if it counts, but my personal favorite is Cards Against Humanity. It is a lot like Apples to Appl... wait, who am I kidding? It is. It is pretty much the same game, except that the cards are printed on black and white paper, and the content of the game is significantly more extreme. It is really only good for those who have an extremely open minded (or messed up, if you think that way). Though it is really fun getting together with a group of about ten people. Any more than that is excessive and often only leads to annoyance.

I like to play a game called CANDY LAND

sop281 : That's a great game, but it's not a board game.

I actually used to play strategy board games before (you know back when I was hardcore). I played Risk a lot because it made you think and the tide could turn at any second. It's 20% luck and 80% brains. I loved the feel of war and taking out diplomats. I'm a gosh darn monster aren't I? Another game I liked to play was monopoly for some reason. I never knew what I enjoyed about it so much but I did.

Risk was also my personal favorite.

I found a site that you can play it online too, called conquerclub!

My favourite as a kid was always 'Sorry'.
If you want a game that you can be an absolute jerk to everybody in, this is the game.
Risk was always tons of fun as well, though I've only ever played it at school.
Clue has been my favourite for a long time as well. It's a fun mystery game.

GenesisJunkie : I've always played them growing up, but my good buddy Andrew got me into the Euro strategy games. 

I enjoy board games because the interaction with others is what makes the game.  Risk and strategy games with dice rolls are pretty good but I like the pure strategy games.  Stratego is an easy one.  It takes as much time to set up as it does to play and it depends only on the players' ability to deceive and attack.  Settlers of Catan is another strategy game that involves no dice rolls.  It is based on bartering and salesmanship and long term strategy.  Diplomacy is an older game I had the pleasure of discovering in high school and that's on that is only people talking out their moves and then writing down instructions.  It's a great game if you haven't seen it yet.

Lastly, Puerto Rico is a newer game I found not too long ago.  It's another game that is more about the human interaction and not based solely on the dice rolls.  That's where true fun comes from.

Local Mods :     I made a thread almost exactly like this. https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=69579

awesomeguy279 : Um... yours was already closed by the system due to inactivity. That means this thread is currently the only active/open thread about board or box games (and thus there's no need for closure).

Here is my top 3, they all are pretty much role playing games.

1. Doom: The boardgame.
2.Hero Quest.
3. Key to the Kingdom.

warmaker : love myself some Catan. Although your statement about no dice rolls isn't entirely accurate as there is a dice roll every turn to determine what supplies you get, but it is definitely more based on trading/strategic building. 

My favourite is Monopoly. Generic, I know, but I love it. I remember playing it for four hours straight in three separate games, and I won each game. Capitalism provides a fun premise.

My favorite board game has always been Risk. 

There are many local competitions and it's always fun to set your friends against each other.

I enjoy Monopoly, but it -can- get tiring after an hour or two. Risk isn't that way. You can play for hours on end, because it always keeps you thinking.

I guess I would say candy land or sorry has I never played a board game in quite a long time.

Aaronrulz1 : Monopoly. I love monopoly. There is also something that you guys in america don't have. Forgot the name tough.
