My son loves to play Trouble.

I don't have one specific "favorite" board game, but I do have a favorite "style" of game. Namely, those that require a bit more strategy and thought than your standard family game.

I was in Maine on vacation and got my daughter "Dogopoly".  We played it recently and had lots of fun with it.  We both have dogs and enjoyed the similarity to Monopoly, but in dog terms.  Both our dogs were pictured on the board.  Good game for dog lovers!

My grandkids LOVE apples 2 apples.  Its fun for tweens/teens and adults as well.  There is also an Apples 2 Apples Jr for the younger set.

My favorite when I was young was shoots and ladders and when I was older monopoly of course.

My favorite board games are scrabble and monopoly!  Great classic games!

I love to play board games with the family - especially when we're with our grandchildren ages 16 and 12.  One of my favorites is Balderdash.  It can get very hilarious.  What is the one that you enjoy the most?  Always on the lookout for something new for the family to enjoy! 

I loved to play Trivia Pursuit. It was so much fun to see just how much you didn't know compared to what you did know.  Now there are so many variations of the game with new pieces and cards to specify a certain genre. Now that I am older and have hanged the crowd I hang with, I don't have anyone to play with. It is more fun with more players. Oh well! Maybe again I will find some people who like to play.

My step-mother-in law and I love the trivia question type games.  We are out of town from each other since our family moved, so we send emails every few days.  In them, we'll include a couple of trivia questions to each other to answer when sending emails back and forth.  (Yep, the honesty system of not peeking for answers!)  It's kind of neat and different to do that.  Then when we see them periodically, we'll play in person.

I don't know if it's a board game but every once in a while, we take the boys over to grandma and grandpas house and they love to play "Wits and Wagers." I would have to say once you get a hang of it, it really becomes addictive. Another good one that I really love is scattergories(spelling). Time to test your thinking skills type of game!!!

I would hope that Chess qualifies as a board game, love it! My niece introduced our family to a great board game called Sequence and everyone went out and bought it for their own household.

Chess qualifies for sure!  I love to play chess - used to play a lot but my husband doesn't play so not now.
I'll have to look up Sequence.  Haven't heard of it but my kids/grands love board games and are always interested in something new.

Scrabble; hands down (so to speak).
