10. Cranium - An amalgam of win lose or draw, charades, name that tune, and pictionary, not much strategy required, so it slides to 10, but still requires more than lucky die rolling like too many board games.
9. Connect Four - Basically advanced tic-tac-toe, and a classic
8. Checkers - While Chess’s idiot cousin, still an all time great.
7. Scrabble - For all those word people out there
6. Clue - Few games hinge so heavily on the ability to effectively use deductive logic to win
5. Balderdash - My favorite game for a long time, requires clever word smithing along with a keen sense of your opponents.
4. Stratego - great military strategy game
3. Risk - Simple, classic, although strategically, fairly predictable
2. Settlers of Catan - Its like a mix between Monopoly and Risk, with a new board every time you play
1. Chess - Simply the greatest game ever invented
