Including party games, tabletop games, dice games, card games, etc.
My favorite is “Dixit”, a French game that’s basically a more artistic version of “Apples to Apples”.

It once was chess. Today, I suppose it’s scrabble.
Trivial Pursuit, because I’m a recreational factotum.
Monopoly, because I’m evil. Muah hahaha
Twilight Struggle. If someone wants to play on Steam PM me and we can set it up.
Ha! I’m with @Hawaii_Jake, Monopoly has always been my fave. And Altered Monopoly, played in a cutthroat fashion with others of a like mind, where the properties are turned to slums and deeds are acquired through nefarious means.
I could go on, but my heart is racing already…
Roulette
Poker
Frustration (Pop ‘n’ Hop
Backgammon from proper board games.
Since you’re including any sort of table games, then I can put Texas Hold’em up there too.
When I was a kid, it was TROUBLE. I loved the pop-o-matic.
Now, if I’m at a party and everyone is drinking, CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY. If it is just sitting around and having fun, QWIRKLE.
Monopoly. Strictly original rules!
Years ago, I beat the Wisconsin State Champ.
I used to love Backgammon as a kid. Later it was Chess (in high school). I haven’t played either in years though.
I should pick up Backgammon again.
Monopoly. Enjoy playing it with grandkids.
I enjoyed Mousetrap with my kids and now they do with my grandkids.
Favorite is probably Trivial Pursuit.
We love to play Scattergories and Pictionary. We also play a lot of Rummikub.
Risk, Monopoly, Backgammon, various card games
I used to love the classic games, Monopoly, Clue, etc., when I was a youngster. They mostly had a good balance of skill and luck. The ones that were all or mostly luck, like Chutes and Ladders, Sorry, and the cursed Candyland, were just irritating and not much fun. And I was never much good at the all-skill games like chess. I like the balance.
I never cared to play for blood. The men in my family did, and they liked Risk. I spent most of my time being slaughtered.
Later on I played hundreds of hours of Backgammon and cribbage with my husband and enjoyed them. But it’s been ages.
Do you count Mastermind as a board game? I guess that might be my favorite now, looking back.
Q: Anybody here ever play crokinole?
Scrabble. Played it often with my grandmother.
I have Dixit, and enjoy that too! It’s beautiful. My top five favourite games right now:
1) Hive (because I’m good at it)
2) Pictures (you might like this, it’s similarly quiet and creative)
3) Throw, Throw, Avocado (hilarious)
4) Taboo (always fun in groups)
5) Poetry For Neanderthals (my husband makes a convincing Neanderthal guy)
Response moderated (Spam)
Trivial Pursuit and Sorry.
Troyes. (Also my favorite board game review.)
