Fun family games:
Sorry! (Our house rule is that you HAVE to say "SORRRRRRY!" when you knock someone back, like in the Carol Burnett Show skit where Mama's Family plays the game.)
Parcheesi (We play with D&D dice set. You can roll any 2 dice. This speeds up the game and adds more strategy.)
Lord of the Rings board game
Settlers of Cataan (I can't believe none of you Europeans mentioned that one.)
Samurai
and of course Risk, Life, Monopoly, and chess.

Remember UNO

And Mills Brothers Mileage game.

I believe it was a french game.

You had to travel a certain distance for points (card game ) You could play a flat tire card etc... I really enjoyed that one.

I've been collecting board games since I was 13; if I had to pick a favorite, I'd probably go with Avalon Hill's _Merchant of Venus_.

BTW, the two card games that mac mentioned are spelled Pinochle and Euchre.

Favourate Board / Table top games

Hardcore Wargames:

- Starship Troopers (The proper Version)
- Flat Top (WW2 Carrier battles)
- Trireme (Ancient Naval Battles)

FRP

- AD&D
- Runequest
- Traveller

Shorter games for Groups

- Illuminati
- Aliens
- Battle Of The Halji (For grossness!)

Hmm. That leaves me one more to total ten.

Oh yeah - we used to play a lot of 'Judge Dredd' at uni.

Now, if someone could mod SE4 for commando raids rather than full scale occupation, then we could have a Starship Trooperesque game module for resolution......
