Advantages: Feel like you are using your brain!

Disadvantages: Some people take too long on their go

Scrabble is the best board game. Closely followed by monopoly (which has the downfall of taking too long), and articulate (as it isnt playable by only two players).

You must know the rules of scrabble, but i guess i have to put them in anyway; you have to make words, joining them onto other letters which are on the board (which cannot be moved), you can only play in one line per go, and a each combination of adjacent tiles (2 or more which are touching each other) must be a word. The points for the words you have made are then calculated and added to your score.

Simple!

You do not have to have a large vocabulary for this game, as the oportunity does not arise for many great words, but it does help! Each letter has a different score, and when one person is left with no tiles, and none left in the bag, all other value letters which other players have is subtracted from their own score, and added to yours.

You can take this game anywhere, and is always good fun.

Its a great game, but some people do take too long per go (i am one of them). If you disagree with scrabble being top of the list, let me know what you think is, as i might be missing out!

Summary: Best board game in my opinion
