This is kind of a nerdy topic, but I've always loved board games. There's something about interacting with friends face-to-face on the table-top that a video game just can't come close to. That, and opening a big box full of colorful little figurines and boards and goo-gads.

I'm excited for the new D&D board games that they're releasing, starting with Castle Ravenloft. It was just released, but I'll be waiting until September sometime to buy a copy. It's a co-op dungeon crawl with very stripped down D&D rules. You can complete a game in about an hour, which I'm happy about since I don't want to sit all afternoon and evening playing something too often.

Any other board game fans on CP? If so, what are some of your favorites? Axis & Allies still ranks at the top of my list, even if it does take a bloody day to set-up.
