Me and my mates play alot of boardgames (or games for that matter), most recently Arkham Horror and Magic: The Gathering. Over the past two years or so we've played Risk, Arkham Horror, Catan, Carcassonne and Lord of the Rings boardgame to name a few. Arkham Horror and Catan probably being my favorite. So what are Giant Bombers' favorite boardgames and do you play alot of boardgames? Also, what are your thoughts on videogame-based boardgames?

The only board game I still consistently play is Scrabble. So I will say Scrabble is my favorite.

I'd say Monopoly but it always ends in a fight.

Escape from Atlantis because it has Seamonsters, Giant octopuses and Sharks! and Lost Valley of the dinosaurs because it had a huge plastic volcano , a bunch of dinosaur figures and  a Pteradon with moveable wings!

My favorite board game is probably Le Havre. The other contender is Agricola...both are designed by the same guy and share many mechanics.
 
Favorite card game is Race for the Galaxy or Tichu. 

For Co-op I play quite a lot of Arkham Horror and Pandemic. 
 
I honestly play more board games than I do video games anymore.

Ooh, Arkham Horror! My brother recently bought this (and one of the expansions), and we all got together for a game. It was amazingly fun! Looking forward to giving it another shot.

While these responses are not shocking I wish more people played board games beyond what is offered at your local toys r us. 
 
Sure there is a place for Risk, Monopoly, and Scrabble but there are games out there that I imagine most video gamers would love if only there was an option to try them.

Agricola is amazing (I want to play Le Havre so badly!).  I'm also a big fan of Power Grid.  Those are probably my two favorite board games.

Even though I have never had people to play it with, I guess I would say Risk. Chess coming in a close second.

Omg Risk is awesome. I used to play that years ago when I was younger with my brothers. Same goes for Atmosfear! God I loved those games. Of all time though my favourite has to be Cluedo!

Life was the only boardgame my family would play with me. That's my only choice. :(

Been really enjoying Cyclades lately. Great game, and still fun when you only have two people (actually, may even be better with only two in a strange way.)

@Blomakrans: Thank you. Wait until you find out about the Pokemon specific Monopoly rules; if you role double sixes, you can battle someone else for one of their properties. 
It's a b*tch.
