... Man, I *AM* old... >_< My faves were always the "classic" board games... Backgammon, Parcheesi, Monopoly and Scrabble... My mom was a stay at home mom, so during summer days, we would spend a lot of time playing together... as whacked out as my mom can be, I cherish those memories of our time together... it was an integral part of my childhood.

Apples to Apples.....Requires a good sense of humor to play.....Very good game for evaluating the humor level of your friends and family.....Results will always be either hilarious or one big "Huh?".....

Settlers of Catan is really cool. You should check out their website because they have tons of expansions you can purchase. Another game I like to play is called munch kin. Its a card game similar to like a magic/D&D.

Id say my favorite is Monopoly because it takes forever to play. It's what makes the game fun(Well to me anyway.). I just love to put houses and hotels on my set of spaces. And then watch my mom and dad land on them pay me a lot of money!(Sure they may get Park place, but Ive got houses and hotels!)
I also like Scrabble, Checkers, many different card games(Yeah, I fail because I mentioned card games in a board game thread. But seriously, I do like playing card games more. Rummy, Blackjack, Texas Hold em', Golf, I doubt it, Hearts, Spades, Solitare, Uno, Phase Ten, and Skip-Bo.), and The game of Life.

I LOVE Balderdash and Cranium. Taboo is fun... but these are more like party games.
I LOOOOVE Clue! XD

Conquest of the Empire and War of the Ring are probably my favorites. Twilight Imperium maybe if I could ever get around to reading that fat instruction booklet and find THREE people who want to sit through a 5 hour game >.>

Spy vs. Spy. That game was so cool... It was like scrabble combined with a dungeon crawling RPG. XDD PLEASE tell me I'm not the only person who's played that!?

My #1 favorite board game--Scrabble. Boy, do I know how to party.
I also love those not-quite board games like Pictionary and Outburst.

I also loved Trivial Pursuit... that's about the only time that a brain chocked-full of useless knowledge was of any value.

Love that game! So Much. It's so amazing....and can be so very bad.
As for the settlers game...is that settlers of Catan? I hate that game lol XDD I refuse to learn it....too complicated. Which is a stupid reason to hate it but still...XDDDDDDD

I love that game.. SO much. My old group of friends at school (we've since parted ways since I became christian and they don't like religion) always played that, apples to apples, settlers, heroscape etc.
My friend actually made her own version of Munchkin, REALMS style (basically...a LARPing style)

I enjoy:
Clue
The Game of LIFE
Masterpiece
Taboo/Pictionary/related games (if that counts)
...and then there was this game I played at a friend's house once. I forget what it was called, but one player is a robber and the other players are policemen, and the police have to chase the robber down in London. The board is basically a map of London. Quite fun, really.
But I think my favorite board game of all time, just because you actually have to think, and because it makes me feel cool to play it, is chess. I rarely win, but it's still fun.

I played a board game back in elementary school that I keep trying to remember the name of... It was a Bible game, where you had a board and games pieces like sorry, and involved learning things like animal husbandry and harvesting wheat... Would there be ANYONE who would know of a game like this??? There were also small round chips that looked like tiny poker chips or pogs or tiddlywinks if any of you guys know what those are... This was in, like 1990... I hate when I cant remember stuff...

I just played Settlers of Catan yesterday with my cousin, and I really like it! Cool game; it's like a strategy game.
