I don't have any personal favourite, the reason I asked is to get ideas. If you have a favourite, please tell me why :)

Cockpit!!

just because it's motorsport related and it also requires some talent

Monolpoly, because I can act like a greedy guy(which I am not), and screw everyone else, until I win.

Do you have a link to offer. All I could find from google was Cobras in the cockpit :)

The Game of Life.
Not sure if it was sold in Finland or if you can still buy it though - will have to check.

"Go for Broke"! It's a game of luck and pretty much no skill. The aim is to loose all your money... and that's it!

Yes we have that and I've played it. It's good, especially with bigger crowd playing :)

My fav as a child was called Buccaneer by Waddingtons.

I just remember you could win real treasure (I was v young) that was the attraction
Look on ebay, you'll find it

My son has probably the replacement for it "Captain Bones Gold" keeps him amused for a bit :)

Checked the developers website(Grow) and apparently they don't make the game anymore, anyway found out the game is similar to Formula Dé http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_D%C3%A9 but it only features the Interlagos track

I used to like Frustration or Game of Life. Still have my Simpsons edition of Monopoly and a very old edition of Operation in the loft somewhere.

When I was younger I was rather keen on chess too.

Panzergruppe Guderian, originally by SPI then Avalon Hill picked it up. Takes hours to play, but still a great game.

Includes two things I'm very good at, and luck isn't none of them :) Sounds great.

We have a Star Wars edition of trivial Pursuit. I had to buy a region free DVD player for that but the game was disappointment. Basicly all you needed is to answer Luke to every question and you win :mark:

And cheers for the info jso :up:

Not snakes and Ladders.

It's possibly the dullest way to spend eight hours.

I'd have to say Scrabble.

Oh yeah I haven't played that for ages! I need to improve my vocabulary after being off school for so long. I shall force my family into playing it with me, and hope I get lots of triple word scores. :D

You should look for Steel Panthers 1 and 2, old games for the PC that you might find on something like eBay. I think you'll like 'em.

Monopoly and Risk were great but took ages. Trivial pursuit was fun too.

Chess and RISK

Risk is fun, in a overly long kind of way, I did manage to beat two of my friends in four rounds(in mission mode). :)

Cranium is fun. You probably laugh more with that game than any other I can think of :)
