If you like Risk AND Axis-&-Allies, then play DIPLOMACY! Awesome game.
Other favourites include: Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Risk, Settlers of Catan, Stock Ticker, The A-Maze-ing Labrynth.
How about the worst game ever? I vote for Yahtzee. I would rather watch paint dry.

Diplomacy is an absolutely fantastic game, and email Diplomacy is probably the only thing that I spend more time on than these forums. I've got five games going on right now. Favourite variant is Imperial, but it's hard to find 13 committed players. Unfotunately Diplomacy is apparently not going to be printed anymore.
Risk Godswar and Risk 2010 are excellent as well. I own over 60 board games and my favourites other than the three above would be:
Through the Desert
Dragon Delta
Carcassonne
Axis & Allies
Settlers of Catan - Cities and Knights Expansion
Manhattan
Cosmic Wars
Ramole (sp?)
and others. There's just too many good ones to mention.
BTW, if you're looking for a great place to find a good board game other than the classics that you can find anywhere, head over to the Century Box on the west side of downtown. Those in Edmonton can check out Mission Fun and Games in St. Albert. Those are the only two places that I know of that have a decent selection.
