Favourite board game other than chess?

ROULETTE-

I like Monopoly when I'm playing with 3 other people. Its so much fun

Colditz ?

Okay, that's easily one of my favorite usernames ever. 

Khet.  Awesome game. Although I haven't played it enough to know how much depth of play it really has. 

 Monopoly

good thread...I would say maybe Scrabble now even though I didn't like it much as a kid.  I might look into other games mentioned in this thread.  

Monopoly.  Hands down. 

If I take the topic literally I had a lot of fun playing Axis and Allies when I was in school.  I'm happy to see Civ mentioned though.  Actually, shortly before I took up chess I was spending an appalling amount of time playing Civ Rev on XBox Live; it's not as in depth as the PC versions but it has the advantage that even a very long game will be over in a couple of hours and most games are over in 20-30 minutes.  When I realized how much time and effort I was putting into my strategies I decided I'd rather play THE strategy game, which is what eventually brought me here.  I'm still a little amazed at how much depth that video game has though.  Hats off to Sid Meiers and company.

I think chinese checkers and checkers are my favorite other than chess.

conquer club is an amazing risk web site. check it out. tell me what you think.

Thanks for the suggestion, Conquer Club is a great site. I have just signed up.

yes it's very laid back. there doesn't seem to be as much sarcasm. people definetly take chess more seriously. i'm playing 3 games right now and it's pretty cool waiting for someone on the other side of the side of the world to wake up and make their move. now i play chess whilewaiting for someone to make their move and somehow it's better now

Settlers of Catan is a great strategy game also.
