Samatha Nicar: "To most people, board games are Monopoly, Scrabble, or Risk. The truth is there is a much larger catalog of board games out there, almost none of which are available at Wal-Mart."http://www.bigbadbot.com/CABG/Designer_Games.htmlThere are tons of great games out there above and beyond the mass-marketed stuff americans have thrived on for the past decades. While most americans are busy playing these "classics", trivia games, DVD games, video games, etc., game designers in Europe have come up with hundreds of other fantastic games!Why not give Ticket to Ride or Settlers of Catan a try, or one of the many others that have been nominated for game of the year? Many are relatively simple to learn and can be much more enjoyable!http://www.boardgamegeek.com! can be a great reference for many games you have never heard ! of but should give a try. Or take a look at some of the other recent nominees/winners of "Spiel des Jahres" (Game of the Year) award - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiel_des_Jahres...Show more

Shaquita Wernicki: My favorite board game is either Scrabble or Boggle. I am so addicted to them! :) I'm not sure what to tell you about vintage versus new. I guess it would have to depend on the game in question. My husband and I bought a new Monopoly instead of the old one and were disappointed, but we bought the deluxe version of Scrabble and we like having the deluxe instead of the vintage. Other board games that are fun: Life, Beyond Balderdash, Cranium, and Stratego. Phase 10 is a card game, not a board game, but that one is really fun too! Have fun playing games!!! :)...Show more
