ok, my top 5 are going to be a little different
5) Monopoly
who doesnt love monopoly? especially when you get so far into the game that each space you land on either means going bankrupt or you start liquidating your assets to spend a day in a hotel.
4) Risk
ah, risk. I have many fond memories. full blown arguements about dice, about campaigns, about alliances unknown. we even once beat the ever living crap out of one friend who ruined a 3 hour long games with a single marshmallow.
3) Talisman
this one isn't as well known as the other two to the rest of you. only a few would know about this hidden gem of a board game. it served as a hybrid between monopoly and D&D before D&D was even out. classic. just eBay this game and guess how much an original game set would cost you.
2) Call of Cthulhu
No, not the xbox game, but the D20 based pen and paper tabletop game. So many hours spent having fun with this little game, journeying into imaginary places, fighting monsters and demons based on H.P. Lovecraft's twisted visions. Shoggoths anyone?
1) Magic: The Gathering
ah, now THIS is my bread and butter. been playing it for years now, amassed an embarrassingly large collection of cards i most likely wont use (how many copies of disenchant does one man NEED?) I have probably spent more time playing magic than any other game I've ever played ever, hands down. I'm not even counting the hours spent building decks, organizing binders, boxes and trading. this game is just encompassing. I still remember when I first started, I just merely wanted to see what the big attraction was. 5 years later I now own a stupid amount of cards.
not your average list here, but I play more tabletop than anything else
