Board games are only fun when you play with a group of people who are just as enthusiastic and competitive about the game as you are. I personally love to play board games when I'm surrounded by folks who are like this (my family on Christmas day, for example. It's tradition).
My two favourites are Risk and Monopoly. I can't really suffer through the Game of Life because it's just... point A to point B with a few complications thrown in (move back 5 spaces, pay $150 for Fire insurance, etc. ) Snore.
I like games that utilize strategy and potentially screw the other players over. Anything that generates chaos around the games table, basically. Chess is interesting, but it's just two people. I like getting everyone involved.
Scrabble is another favourite, but you need people who have a good command of the English language and perhaps some creativity and a dirty mind thrown in for good measure, to really make it entertaining.
