I though this was fairly dull but I like board games, so heres mine *queue top of the pops countdown music*
1. Frustration - a classic, I regularly beat my 8 yr old nieces at this, showing them no mercy and making them cry - I believe its character building for them ;)
2. Poker Texas Holdem- being playing online - and doing pretty well though not with real money
3. Declaration whist - a classic thinking persons game of whist
4. Grass - grow pot and make money while grassing up your fellow pot growers to the fuzz - groovy baby
5. Perudo - Classic Brazilian Liar dice game - excellent can play lying down while your wasted, great for devious bulls*itters like me
Some good ones I can think of:
Chess
Chinese chess (nearly as normal chess but some exceptions)
Rollit
Trivial Pursuit
Upwords & Scrabble
Also some good games of cards. It has been ages though. Loved to play canasta but can't even remember how anymore...
Would love to dig into the game of Go. I have manual, board and pieces but have not had the the time

An old friend of mine is one of the leading Go players in the country, mind you he does have the brain the size of a small planet and never washes.
I used to play canasta with my mum.
Anyone here ever played Magic the Gathering - collectible card trading game? I used to play it at tournements and was ranked 18th in the UK at one time. However I had to stop playing it as a lot of my opponents where geeks and I just wanted to fill them in when they beat me :lmfao:

True kids also play it, but when your competing for national qualifiers etc and you get paid flights/accommodation to the US and compete for a million pound in prize money... it gets more interesting :D
'Pass the Pigs'!!!!! :dribble: :dribble:
I haven't played that in ages. Brilliant game when inebriated.
Another one of my favorites is 'Hide the Sausage' :devil:
Block Wars, the board game is fun.
Theres always the classic parlour game - Ostrich.
You lay your head on a womans lap, someone rings the bell and you bury your head. :dribble:
Does spoof count? It's not a board game, but it's good when pissed.
WHy o why has no-one said Monopoly...great when you win, absolutely crap when you are losing.

Mate you should try Hotels, its loads better than monopoly - which I don't mind, but soon gets dull.
1] RISK (have the Lord of the Rings edition which is nice!)
2] Top Trumps Classic Sports Cars - The 1979 version with the Lotus Europa! ;)
3] 'Operation' - ever tried that when you're pissed!?
4] 'Mystery Rummy: Jack the Ripper' - I love this game (if somewhat tactless!)
5] 'Cluedo' - what can I say - I'm a sucker for the classics
