Monopoly is my favourite board game, followed very closely by Chess..... all other games fall well behind.
I suppose Monopoly is like WoWarcraft... you have to grind away going around and around in order to win (if there are a decent number of players there will likely not be an actual "end" to a game for weeks, which is why we usually stop after a time and just count our value.
Chess is like Fire Emblem or something and Draughts (proper name for "Checkers") is like Wii Sports Tennis.
Then there is Cluedo (Puzzle game like Phoenix wright perhaps (I haven't played PW though) )
and Scrabble (Brain Training?)
Ludo (Mario Party... although that game is already a board game, but it'a all I can think of other than perhaps a racing game)
Twister [ok not really a board game] = Wii Fit
