well, if you have a couple of friends and 7-8 hours to burn (lmao) try risk obviously monopoly is a classic as far as card games go, Magic the Gathering is a good one... better then yugio if you can find a place to buy a deck or two i am also a big fan of life... even tho i often forget to buy insurance, and hit the tornado thing at the end and lose most of my cash (playin a nearly ancient version... they might not have this spot on newer boards, but it is annoying as hell xD )
I like monopoly, since I'm really good at it, I played risk with my cousins and their friends. (risk can take between 1-48+ hours!)I also like snakes and ladders, lol.
