Battlestar Galactica,

This game is a work of genius and my favorite by some margin! However it is neither for the feint hearted not those who shy away from a 2.5-4hr 'complicated' but still epic game.

EDIT: @picklekin - check out the shiny painted ships in my BSG set

There are also very regular games played online (I think it's mandatory every game has a crazy dutch guy, evil russian who is the cylon and sleepy American playing in the middle of the night)


Dead of winter is also one of the better zombie games out there alongside Zombicide (but the latter is rather pricey given it's gone 'expansion crazy' and has too big a box to carry anywhere)

I've never come across Dead of Winter - will look it up, thx. My fav is Arkham, ridiculously complicated, but endlessly entertaining

Another vote for Pictionary - we managed to borrow two flipcharts and stands from a friends workplace, just brilliant.
And my own favourite from my youth - Operation! I found the original game on eBay (sometimes they are missing a plastic body part, but you can buy replacements on eBay.)

We love Blokus and have got quite a few of our friends into it too. It is best as a 4 player game otherwise it can be quote easy. Children can play too.

I like Scattergories.

Scotland Yard, we bought this last year for DS (10) and its a favourite in our house at the moment.

The fact you can either be the police (chasers) or Mr X (the chased!) mixes the game up, and no 2 games are ever the same.

Destination hogarth for the harry Potter fans. I think bingo is always a great one connect 4 gets very competitive and when DD was 5 we brought the moshi monsters guess who I beat her the first 4 times in one guess each time. No one knew how until I said your first favourite is x; 2nd is your etc
Scrabble

Gotta be Monopoly. Also Cluedo, Scrabble, and Snakes and Ladders.

Don't hardly play board games these days though.
