What are your favorite board games? Me and my friends love playing board games, but I get the feeling their tired of playing the same things. What do you guys usually play? My favorite board game of all time is HeroQuest. I never get tired of playing it. Also love Catan, Arkham Horror, Betrayal House on the Hill, Spyfall (great at parties)

I realise this doesn't really count (well, it does but you know), but chess. The rules are straightforward and it has infinite replayability. And you can play a game online any time you want in an instant.

Other boardgames I enjoy are Arkham Horror and Twilight Imperium, though I haven't played either in a while.

Was into the tabletop simulator version of TI4 for a while. But even with automated set up and digital streamlining, the games are still 6-8 hours.

Love the game, but just don't have time to play anymore.

Jeez, when you play a board game you really decided it's an all day event. Both Arkham Horror and Twilight Imperium take forever every time I've played them

Try the Arkahm Horror Card Game. It moves quite a bit faster but shares much of the difficulty and has great stories.
