What is your favorite board game?

I enjoy playing board games a lot. My favorite board game is Monopoly. The reason why I like this game the best is because typically my strategy can offset the element of chance. Overall I prefer board games based on strategy rather than luck but Monopoly seems to offer the best of both worlds. In regards to the element of randomness in the game I relate that to the same thing as natural causes such as hurricanes and tornados. Any how, what is your favorite board game?


Of course, I say this as my girlfriend is kicking my butt on our current game!!!
