I always liked being the Banker in Monopoly because it made it easier to embezzle.

Space Hulk is on the computer now. Sin of Damnation missions are pretty cool.
my favorite boardgame now is Redneck Wars and Trailerpark Wars when I want to release my inner redneck with my West Coast and IL in-laws. Its a hoot!

My children and 7 grown grandchildren love board games. We have 3 Sequel games and have tournaments when we all get together. Sometimes I will supply a monetary prize winner takes all.
