So many options to choose from. I'll lay down my top 5.

1-Risk
2-Stratego
3-Monopoly (with custom rules)
4-Life
5-Mousetrap (the first time, when it actually worked.)

I love

Scrabble and its variants.
Pictionary and its variants.
Life

and every other game pretty much. I think the people that you are playing a game with make mpore of an impact than the game itself.

Some friends and I made up probably 800 ridiculous rules for this game and it's so amazing now. Best board game ever is definitely our custom Dora the Explorer Candyland. So intense.
