Clue! We did "Clue the Musical" my senior year of high school. I was Mrs. Peacock (which I got because of the solo- I was quite proud of myself). Mrs. Peacock in the play is the same as Mrs. White played by Madeline Kahn in the film. I wasn't some crazy lady with feathers in her hair, though it wasn't for lack of costume designers trying.

I also played a game called "Boxers or Briefs" with my friends this last year at college, and that was fun. I'd never played that or "Apples to Apples" before.

Good old D&D is always a blast, as well. My dad was "DnD Gamer of the Year" two years running at dndgamer.com... We're not a family of complete nerds >.<

Chess
Stratego
Monopoly
and UNO

D&D easily. My dad played it when he was in high school, and I guess I inherited his love for it. Me and my friends started in grade 7 and still play almost weekly, even after our DM Chris, who was bloody awesome, left us. And it's not just D&D, we play all sorts of tabletop games, like Anime D20 (I'm a Magical Girl, it's awesome), Shadowrun for like a month, and now I'm trying to get some Rifts books and start some games with it.

Other than that, Magic is huge at my school. I built myself a new Red-Black-Green Wither deck a month ago, but I still lose to my friends's cheap ass Blue-Black with Academy Researchers and Fool's Demise. We make our own cards too. If me and my friends can get a good game of Mafia going it's awesome, could last anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours depending on how ruthless our storyteller and killers are. Not huge on board games, but we always play Pictionary with my creepy cousin whenever we see him, and it gets really messed up. I'm another creep that likes Scrabble, but meh.

While it takes more than aliens and fake monsters to scare me, I do agree with the Risk part. My other favorite game is Fifty Points if you Hit The Ron. They used to call me "The Intangable", I was so good at that game.

To anyone offended: go f***ck yourselves.

dude "fifty points if you hit the ron" is a googlewhack. i still have no idea what it is.

I'm going right on ahead and saying strip Battleship. No one will play it with me so I sit alone.

Cribbage

Poker Texas hold'em, pool and dart are some of my favourites

I don't know, ever since I got my first NES (back in 1988) I never played any other form of gaming that didn't involve a tv set and a pair of wired controllers, I'm pretty good at sports though (basketball and tennis to be specific).

'Hide the sausage' is always a favorite. As for 'non-euphemistic' games, I used to play DnD, but I feel a little silly playing anymore. I play with people who aren't real sharp, and it's tough to take things seriously when someone honestly thinks that a telescope is going to help them examine a dark room because it ups their 'spot' modifier and one of the other guys is obsessed with wearing a ball gown into combat (he plays a male character).
Other favorites are Trivial Pursuit, Stratego, and 'hey guess what video game I'm playing music from on the piano'

Does 'Hide the Sausage' count?

Pool, Texas Hold'em and pretty much all drinking games.

I enjoy a decent few hands of Fluxx (primarily Zombie Fluxx currently), Zombies!!!, Hex Hex (and Hex Hex Next) and plain ol' Scrabble.

Texas hold'em is fun. I'm a big Diplomacy addict (back stabbing and double dealing all the way!). Monopoly of course. Careers, Life, Peurto Rico and your occasional round of pictionary or what have you.

What I really love though are strategy games. Chess, risk, stratego, Axis and Allies, Go, Shogi, I know how to play them all and I love them. The only problem is that I have real trouble finding people who are willing to play me.

Apart from tabeltop gaming though, I play a game sort of like Jawless's Manhunt except we don't bother to switch into different clothes and those who are hiding can incapacitate those who are seeking by taking a peice of tape off their back. Oh and a seeker can incapacitate a hider basically just by finding him.

Snooker nuf said.

Favourite card game: pokemon... period:P

also "I never", that drinking game and probably DoW Tabletop

Chess, 45s and Call of Cthulhu.

poker blackjack and any card game really!!

Setelers of Catan, Munchkin Bites, Munchkin, Ninja Burger and D&D Special hoem made futuristic version.

texas hold'em and a very EVERY stupid game i learn in high school calle colores

For card games, I like poker and BS.
Risk I played once and never liked. Course, that may be because I was about six and I was playing with my eighteen year old brother.
Chess was alright; I was the only one in my second grade class who knew how to play, though playing checkmates does tend to get annoying. I usually play Kill The King.

Poker

hold-em, omaha, 7-stud, razz, and whatever else

Outside of Pen&Paper RPG's I like...

Apples to Apples
BANG!
Munchkin
Zombies
Settlers of Catan

I enjoy many RPG's, card games and board games. Trivial Pursuit, and other "party" board games especially - it's amazing how a game can excite and amuse a room full of people.

"Word Dissociation" - a circle of players, each says a word in turn. The only catch is that the next word must have no possible connection to the previous word, and it's played best with a short time limit. Say, 5 seconds. That was our high school drinking game of choice.

Pente, and Abalone are personal favourites.

I rarely finish a game of Scrabble (offline), but I've played WildWords once at a friends house, and really enjoyed it. http://www.wildwords.us/ If you're looking for something new, it's not a well known game - and nope, I'm not in any way associated with the game maker.

Risk, Chess, Magic: The Gathering, and Settlers of the Catan. The latter two usually at the comic shop in my town where I spend my Friday evenings eating BLTs at the local grill and smack-talking with twenty to thirty-year-old manchildren. There's even a sixty-something-year-old dude who goes there and he is absolutely hysterical.

Although, I'm not as serious about playing Magic anymore. I mostly use the decks my friends made. Infinite Green-White combo ftw! b(o_o)d

Manhunt brings back memories.

I used to play with a group of my friends and invariably it would get to one person who was the fucking master of not getting caught. We would play in a set boundary of woods, the person got one or two minutes to get in the woods and hide, then it's a free for all to find them, and whomever did was the next to hide. We had something like twenty guys looking for this guy and we just couldn't do it. We had to give up after about two hours of looking. We stepped on to the road next to the woods he has hiding in and called his name telling him he had won. About a minute later, he steps out of the woods and laughs at us.

This is the same guy who could play capture the flag in the woods and have his entire team stay and guard the flag while he went after the other team's flag. His team would win every time. He was so good at stealth in the woods it was un-fucking-believable.

Warrior Knights
War of the Ring
DnD

I still need to try my hand at Grimm, but I'd wager it'll be a favourite ;)

kyouger:
Chess was alright; I was the only one in my second grade class who knew how to play, though playing checkmates does tend to get annoying. I usually play Kill The King.

What's the difference? Chess with checkmates ends if you are in position to kill the king, doesn't it? How could you play chess just to kill the king without the checkmate system?

Risk and monopoly have given hundreds of hours of enjoyment. Any card game that has teams, like Kaiser (sp?) and I always enjoy a good game of trivial pursuit or scene it since i watch an absurd amount of movies.

Risk, monopoly, Texas hold em, pool, and apples to apples.

I like Chess and Darts too. Poker is great as well. And I'm always down for drinking games. Oh, I don't like Boxing, but I like movies about Boxing.

I had a lot of fun back in the day with Call of Cthulhu, but once the group disintegrated I haven't been able to find two people who actually live near me who play it. Damnit!

Other than that, Balderdash and Pictionary. I love being a writer during Balderdash; I once defined the word "klaberjass" (ironically enough also a card game) as "explosive indigestion" and caused riotous laughter all round :D

Monopoly. Especialy when you wright stuff on the cards like "Smash Jason over the head with the bank"

P.S. Jason is the guy who EVERYONE in my town hates

holy crap, this thread is back! I forgot to mention a few.

Scrabble wins!

Also forgot to mention Games Workshop's LOTR? well... I use to play it until I found out I'm the only one who does. If you play the game, you have my utmost respect.

I made a game where we make our own character and It's surprisingly fun. It rips off of Madlibs a bit. The character is unknown, so the first person ask a question and the next person answers the question then follows up with another question.

person1: Favorite music?
person2: System Of A Down, where do you live?
person3: Tarsonis, what was your most "oh shit!" moment?

It's at that point I want to either stab person2 or follow up by making the character look bad when my turn comes back around, but that's part of the fun. At the end we try and draw him.

I like Carcassonne. Fast, easy to understand and a nice mix of luck and resource management.

But i really despise Catan. Not only that a single game takes like eternally (Over 3 hours for a single round, last time i played it), but the whole trading thing just annoys me to death..
