Amazon had an insanely good deal on Settlers of Catan yesterday (15 bucks!) so I picked it along with Carcassonne up. I had been looking to pick up some more board games, and I've had my eye on these for a while. I've got old standbys like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, etc, but wanted something more along the lines of a strategy game.
These games are something I've neglected for the past few years, mainly due to the fact that I never had anyone around that was interested in playing. However, that's starting to change.
Anyhow, what are some of your favorites? I for one enjoy the card game Rook immensely. Rook seems to be almost exclusively a southern thing though. Growing up, it was a staple with my family around the Holidays. It was a sign I had "arrived" as a young adult when I was invited by the adults to play Rook after opening gifts Christmas Eve.

The games I used to play a lot of as a kid was Risk.

I have a couple coworkers who play the WoW: TCG. It's actually pretty fun. Game is fairly short too so we can play it over lunch hour or something.

Zombies!!!
Thats not excitement, it really has three exclamation points in the title.

That reminds me of stats class. "That is not NINE!!!! That's 9 factorial . . ."

Settlers of Catan is fucking awesome, my friends and I play that a lot, along with Starfarers of Catan (space themed Catan with slightly different rules), Zombies!!!, Munchkin, and Risk 2210. We were doing almost weekly games with those but its slowed down a bit for some reason which I need to get resolved. I want to get Power Grid or Puerto Rico next.

Puerto Rico?!

Yes, Puerto Rico. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_(board_game))

Get the Doom boardgame. Seriously, it's amazing, and it will make you and your friends want to kill each other at the end of your sessions.
Also, chess (http://www.overwritten.net/forum/index.php?topic=4607.0).

RIP AND TEAR.

God fuck that game. Did we even make it out of the first scenario?
-
We barely made it out of the second god damned room.

Doom: The Boardgame - We pack pure evil into every box!

Yes, Puerto Rico. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico_(board_game))
Now I think I've heard of that before. I should remember better. Weird. Or just senility setting in.

I've always wanted to try the Doom game.
I've been playing an unhealthy amount of Carcassonne on 360 these past few days. I think I love the game.
