Risk world domination always has a good midgame.... the jostling for position, the tactical alliances, the massive reinforcements and ultimately the unexpected Hitler invasion of Russia-esque backstabbing that changes the game, when one player attacks another with only three players left.... if they take them out and get their cards, they will be in a great position, if they fail, the opponent will probably be in a hopeless position and motivated solely by revenge.... ah, the memories.

Not to mention the "allegiances" between players that breakdown mid game... and the non strategic players that randomly attack anyone.. and the annoying players that dont take any risks at all and annoyingly always wager 1 man... i

oohh I think scrabble tops it though:)

Monopoly is such a great game. Playing it with my family is ridiculous. One cousin always hides a 500 until we're all nearly bankrupt and then she crack's it out.

BUT my heart will always belong to scrabble. So much so that I often look up Scrabble words: "Qi," "Xiu," etc.

Was never a massive fan of monopoly, although my brothers loved it.
We'd the Dublin edition , (and when we had got it , we were living in Crumlin , which was one of the cheapest areas on the board!).
If you've any interest in it at all , its worth geting hold of this though , as its a very funny read, and almost got me wanting to play it again.

I still love Monopoly.

I used to play it with my sisters. The game would go on for days because we used to allow loans to each other from the bank. The game usually ended when the bank ended up broke from all the loans:rolleyes:
