Don't know if there's a thread on this already so thought I'd start one.
Mine would have to be Settlers of Catan. Very addictive, I play that over on MSN games. Catan is the perfect mix of skill & luck for a social game (in a three player game the best player will win 50-75% of the time but not always) Risk is also in my top 5 despite it's simplistic nature (haven't played since college though), great game to play with a group of close friends (though not with oversensitive types! ).
Stratego I hate cause I've always sucked at it (used to play with my brother as a kid). Axis & Allies I enjoyed but those games can go on forever. Just got Carcassonne, it was recommend by a friend and I'm hoping it can be a fun two player game my girlfriend and I can play together. Still haven't opened the box yet though.
