Yeah, Chess and Risk are pretty good, but i'm gonna have to stick with Scrabble :)

Mouse trap was pretty awesome as well, and you can't forget hungry hungry hippo!

Axis and Allies is a great game, but it takes forever to finish a game and you need a place where you can leave the game set up (and no cats!).

Yeah I don't have a problem with that, I have played countless games of risk and I have a really long attention span for games like that. I just don't want to get stuck with Russia lol.

Risk is just cool.

GO is a complete mind f**K. It is so simple, but so friggin' complex a the same time. It is sort of like reverse chess. In chess the object is to control territory and capture pieces. In GO, you are working to gain control over empty space. The replay value of GO is unmatched - even by chess (Go is a couple thousand years older as a game).

Stock Market-- We'd start playing, and after about an hour or so, we'd be logging our $$$ down on a separate sheet of paper since we'd be out of enough play money. Nothing like thinking we'd be giving Trump or Gates a run at the richest man title!!!
