Mine would have to be one called "Betrayal at House on the Hill". It's spooky, features fifty different scenarios, and has a house that's completely randomly built every time you play.

What's your favorite board game?

PS: No, Mousetrap is not a game. That is a toy.

That game looks pretty cool!

The Settlers of Catan, has a lot of interaction with players. The group of friends that I learned the game from is just brutal to play with. Everyone is cutthroat when someone rolls a 7 and the deal making is just outrageous. At home with my family it is a more relaxed game, but I have to be the taskmaster to get people to STFU and play. A 60-minute game turns into a 3-hour marathon.

The main box is for 3-4 players and, expansion for 5-6. Two other expansions are available, ?Seafarers? and ?Knights and Cities?

Chess is definetley fun, even though I'm not that great.

Trivial persuit would rank up there in terms of "board games".

Description says it comes with 50 scenarios. Once you've done them all, does the game become pointless since its repeated?
