Go!
Favourite board game other than chess?
Sort:
I forgot about Trivial Pursuit, I haven't played for a while. Do you know any websites to play online?
Pogo.com does have a huge playing room for Trivial Pursuit.
Axis and Allies. I love to play this game. It's just so fun. Using one man to wipe out EVERYTHING because of rolling high numbers (makes you wanna go to Vegas). And it doesn't take a long time to get started.
Thanks I will check Pogo out.

I don't really agree. When you have skilled players it comes down to diplomacy, which can make the game pretty damn complex. To mention just one thing, you often have to figure out how to economically place your forces when the balance of power is unclear and you're not sure who's friend or foe. IMO even one unskilled player makes the game unsatisfying since he usually ruins it. Most of the time it's someone who's easily manipulated.

I think Risk strategy is as complicated as the players want to make it. Just Google the site "Total Diplomacy" where this guy runs through a lot of the basic ideas.
Nobody mentioned Trivial Pursuit...
