Board games

[Alucard]

Does anyone out there still play board games? I know with ps2 and xbox etc out there people don't really think to play board games anymore. I was trying to find a good board game I could play with some friends. I was thinking of maybe a good game that people in their 20's-30's could enjoy. played cranium which wasn't too bad and well trivial pursuit is always a classic. Any other really good games out there or lesser known gems that would be good to look for?

Scrabble, Balderdash are played a lot in my home, as well as various card games. I've never played a video or computer game in my life, I'm sure they affect your brain in a negative way and tend to be played alone.

When I was a KId we used to play a game called, Rumoli. It used a board and a deck of cards. We used pennies, nickles and dimes, instead of the supplied chips, made it more interesting.
