Risk
In this game you go to war with other players, trying to take over the world. It's a long drawn out game of strategy that often takes hours to play. Beware, not only is it addictive, but it's been known to start fights amongst friends.

Scrabble
This word game is a great way to show off your vocabulary. Buy a copy of the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary to learn all sorts of new words that you never knew existed.

Scene-It
This fun DVD-based board game comes in a variety of themes, testing players on various aspects of movies and television. An excellent choice for pop-culture aficionados.

6.
Axis and Allies
Even more intense than Risk, this world-domination game is based on World War II, and arguably involves even more strategy. And possibly even more arguments.

Battleship
This game is still quite popular at bars and coffeehouses for those feeling a bit nostalgic for their youth. And let's face it, shouting out, "you sunk my battleship!" never really gets old.
