What are some of your favourite/least-favourite board games?

My favourites are:

Stratego, the traditional version, is my favourite board game. It is the only game I own (compact case, so it fits well with my now small library).

Scrabble, Clue, and Risk are my trifecta, although the only one I've played recently is Scrabble.

Scrabble, Clue, and Risk are my trifecta, although the only one I've played recently is Scrabble.

Risk is a good game, but it is so hard to find people to play the game to the end.

The last time I played, I won it. Since I have no idea when I will play a game to completion again, I think that may be a final victory.

And who I beat is a bit irked. He was too defensive and let me ultimately gain far more territory than he could. I was so spread out in the beginning, I thought I was a goner for sure.

I tried playing Risk once, but I couldn't figure out the instructions.

Catan, Scrabble, Scattergories, and not Monopoly. I hate Monopoly.

[OCLittleFlower]

Clue, Monopoly, Life, Battleship, Sorry, Taboo, Apples to Apples

I really don't care for chess -- too hard for me to keep track of.  I know how to play, but not how to win.

The pie game!  I loved playing the old Genus edition back in the mid-2000s - you had to try to guess the answer circa very late Cold War, IIRC.

Settlers.

When I was growing up, we had (still have, probably) a version of Trivial Pursuit from the '80s or maybe early '90s. My friends and I used to play all the time in high school and some of my friends could answer almost every question. I ran with a brainy crowd when I was 16.

My favorite was feudal. Unfortunately it's out of print and I don't know what happened to my parents set.

[Cesar_Augustus]

Battleship, Chess, Draughts.

[CoolCat]

Favorite: Chess.
Least favorite: Monopoly.
