YESNO
So, what are your top 5 board games? I realize that it's a tough question...for me, it's hard to narrow it down that far. But give it a try: if you had to choose only five games to have, which would they be?
Wow. Given that I don't play games that much more these days this is really tough.
My favorite board game from my younger days was Talisman (from Games Workshop).
These days I'm more inclined to play "Sorry!" with the little ones. Though I have played some "Aquire" recently. But really not a lot of board gaming :-(
But as far as a list of classic games for a "guy" these are mine:
1. Risk - simple but so fun
2. Stratego - 4-person stratego is really fun too
3. Axis and Allies - another classic - but not too complex war game
4. Chinese Checkers - I love this game. Much better than draughts/regular checkers
5. Diplomacy - Cool game that requires a lot of talking and dealing. I love those kinds of games.
Some friends and I get together to play games at least once a week. Some regulars are (in no particular order): Nameburst, Password, Pyramid, Parcheesi, and Backgammon. Fun times.
How do feelings get hurt playing Ticket To Ride? By blocking off cities? Can you do that in Ticket to Ride? I only have Ticket to Ride: Europe, which has a mechanic where you can use other players' rails, and I don't remember whether that was new to that game or existed in the original, too.
I've never heard of Razzle. Is there a link in this spot?
1. Antics-great for younger kids, it keeps my babysittees amused for ages.
2. Pictionary- I cannot draw, and yet, people can still get my drift.
3. Boggle- I can finally find big words!
4. Clue- Who doesn't love it?
5. The Game Of Life- I'm addicted to this, I always end up with about six kids though!

Acquire is a great game (I'm adding links to each of these). I imagine that Michael would be happy to see Diplomacy on your list.
