My wife and I will enjoy an occasional game of strip monopoly.... that would be my favorite, if it counts.

If by going by the real rules, probably Risk is my #1... problem is, you need a specific audience and more than one of them... and plenty of time to play it. Stratego is another fun game that is easier to play, only needs two people, and is over pretty quick.

When I was a kid, I loved a game called "Survive: Escape from Atlantis". Also had a cool game called "Haunted House". My favorite game as a kid though would have been either "Fireball Island" or "Torpedo Run".

On line backgammon :if I'm losing, I can quit right in the middle of the game. Then I laugh because I know that the guy on the other end is cursing me in, spanish, french, turkish, hebrew,or english, etc.

Ditto. Its not as well known because you can't find folks willing to sit down and play for three days straight.

Drunken Risk. Everything else is kid's stuff.

Yeah, that'll happen with Risk.

I'm relieved to know that others take otherwise innocuous games and make a 'strip' version, too. My wife and I have played the occasional game of Strip Banana Grams....she usually wins...What is it with words and women?

RISK!!!

Arkham Horror for its delicious complexity and Lovecraftian-ness

Chess, Scrabble, and Trivial Pursuit because I’m smarter than you and I know it.

Chess
Scrabble
Texas Hold'em yup it's a game

Dark Tower.. "It's More Than a Game, It's an Experience"

People forget about battleship? Or Reversi?

Its pretty tough to play a bored game... or any game for that matter, without it turning into a 'strip' game. There are always wagers that can be made, especially when drinking is involved... "take off your shirt and I won't make you pay rent".

Settlers of Catan!

Cribbage.. Hey, it's a Northwest thing...

Chess

but I prefer card games

this is why I'm still looking for a vintage copy of the game for my family. Back in the day, selling your kids wasn't a house rule, it was just another part of the normal game. and you didn't have the funky career cards or differently priced houses or "life tiles", etc -- give me back my promissory notes and share the wealth cards!

PayDay! I win everytime and my sister now refuses to play it with me.

It's called Bang! And technically it's a card game, but it's really fun. They have an iPhone and PC version of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang!

Chess... because I don't see you guys rating the kind of mate I'm contemplating

Killer Bunnies! It's offbeat and a ton of fun!

Sequence!

Chess is still the game of kings, and still the king of all board games.

Lords of Waterdeep. So awesome!

Tetris Link

It's not a board game, I suppose, but I'll second AND third this. Absolute blast to play!

Balderdash!!

Stone Age
Traders of Genoa
Dominion
Seven Wonders
Coloretto
St. Petersburg
Ticket to Ride

To those who have indicated designer board games, I salute you.

And to the chemists, I solute you.

Quelf is the best board game EVER!

Ants in the Pants or Cooties..
No really I like Nuclear Fallout.

Other-- I'm a HUGE fan of the game Cards Against Humanity. It's like Apples to Apples but for adults. Soooooo much fun.

Roborally.

Love watching everyone do the robot dance trying to figure which way the robot will turn for each card.

Small World FTW. :D

Cranium!

It's like Trivial Pursuit, Scattegories, Pictionary, Charades, Hangman and so many others all rolled into one.

Also drinking game Sequence - drink for blocks, sequences and removes

Gladiator by Avalon Hill; it's quick, and if you play with 3 or more people, it can be (pardon the pun) cut-throat.

Monopoly...on the iPad. Ha!

Real answer: Scattergories.
