I've never played Axis and Allies.
I tend to stick to the classics like Jenga, Scrabble, Careers, Yahtzee, Trivial Pursuit, Clue, checkers & chess, and Risk.
Relatively newer games that I've been turned on to and like include Oxford Dilemma and Settlers of Catan. I've never played any of the SoC expansions.
As for Monopoly, I'm still kicking myself for not picking up the Star Wars version I saw at a store a few years ago. However, of all the versions I've played I still enjoy the original Monopoly the most. So long as the time between plays is quite long (like, years) the game doesn't get too stale.
