What is your favorite board game in real life ?

Probably Clue since you're narrowing down your choices to guess the suspect, weapon, and room. I think there's more strategy to Clue, because you can move your opponents to the room you're in during your turn to prevent them from getting vital clues and you can create a sense of red herring. I'm not a big fan of Monopoly, because once someone buys a bunch of land, there's almost no reason to continue playing the game.

 

The star of Africa due to playing it a lot. You can just pull it out and play when you have some company. Pretty easy to get into.

 

Monopoly. At this point it just became a D&D offshoot when I'm involved. Basically I just become Dungeon Master and build some ludicrous story depending on which version we have our hands on.

 

I never really relate D&D to Monopoly. I feel like Dungeons & Dragons gets the player to think more and be more imaginative.

But one thing I will admit about Monopoly is that it can be creative sometimes, especially when you have themes like a Star Wars edition or some other edition. The edition flavors are essentially the same game, but the main differences are the game pieces, the tiles on the Monopoly board (e.g. different locations), and the different cards. So if you get bored playing the original Monopoly (maybe because you already know enough about the original), trying out the different flavors of Monopoly could make it a little more interesting.

 

I would have to go with risk

 

Never played it before, mostly because the play time for strategy games take a long time (especially on the first attempt at playing a game), and it's sometimes difficult to find more players to play with. Would probably be a good board game to play at a house party with a full team of players though.
