BESM in the Petoskeyverse (A "generic" anime setting set in Petoskey, Japan... which used to be located in Michigan... don't ask, it was a freek magical accident... where basicly all of the "cliches" of anime can and do happen often... ninjas, super powers, mecha, martial artists, etc etc. Think Ranma, Tenchi, Full Metal Panic, Hellsing, Urusai Yatsura, Kenshin, etc... all thrown in together in an american down displaced magicly to japan).

Go/Chess/Monopoly

Sometimes we just watch Anime, depending on the particular makeup of the group that day.

Actually, I've yet to run into anything from Cheapass Games that wasn't a blast.

 

[Palcadon]

That depends on how much beer and pretzels we've had.

Usually D&D.

After awhile it's time for 'Decorate the light weight'.

 

[Arkham]

Depending on how much time we have to waste
from the shortest to the longest...

Lunch Money
Chez Geek
Bughouse Chess
Nuclear War!!!!
Risk
Axis & Allies
Talisman

 

[Storminator]

Don't get to play as many games as I used too, but some favorites:

Axis and Allies
Risk 2210 AD (only played a couple times, but very cool)
Titan
Scrabble
Masterpiece

A really cool game I have is called Once Upon a Time. You get a number of story cards and a single Happy Ending card. Each story card has a classic fairy tale element, like Prince, Evil Witch, Betrayal, etc. To play you tell a fairy tale. Each time you mention an element that matches a card, you play a card. The plan is to get the story to end with your Happy Ending. It's a pretty cool RPG-lite.

Filler games...

My group's favorite filler game went from Guillotine to Munchkin and is now Carcassonne. Its a beautiful and fast tile-placing game which is easy to learn while retaining quite a bit of depth.

We also play Settlers/Seafarers/Starfarers of Catan, Apples to Apples, Medici, Mama Mia, Ebola Monkey Hunt, Princes of Florence, Talisman, and I"m sure many more that I can't remember at the moment.

My favorite site to peruse and purchase games from is:

At Origins this year I'm going to try to get into the "Kobolds Ate My Baby" Midnight Massacre. I've heard it is fun, fun, fun.
