Not really a board game, but THE game a screwing over your friend is called 1000 Blank White Cards. A huge crack up to play, even more fun to replay.

I think Stupid Duel is far and away better.

Zombies!!! is really pretty fun, but I have only played 2 player mode. http://www.twilightcreationsinc.com/zombies/
Its a fairly short survival horror game with tiles and dinky plastic models, but this also has cards and you can get screwed with them. Good times.

Try Dead of Night. It can take awhile just doing zombie movement, but it's less dicey.

Betrayal at House on the Hill is a great game. My roomies and I play a lot of it.

Good luck finding it for a fair price, though.

2nd Edition will probably be affordable.

I have personally been enjoying the Battlestar Galactica boardgame. There's probably an ongoing game of it on Something Awful if anyone's up in the air about it.

Of course, it's better if you've watched the show.

But even if you haven't, it kind of plays as a hybrid between Mafia (some characters covertly work against the others), Axis/Allies (There is a big battle going on, everyone is on the same side for the most part), and a... not tower, but just "defence" game (Swarms of dudes come after you, you need to blow them up, while also protecting yourself from internal threats).

Fuck yeah, best game.

Acquire.

That game was so addictive... I still have my box from the fifties or sixties or something.

I have a deep well of nostalgia that I drink from regularly.

Yes, Fireball Island. A game for 7 year olds that teaches you the quickest path to victory is through your best friends. I loved that game! Every turn you had a choice: try to move closer to the win, or **** someone over. Getting to be the one to shoot the fireball out of the Idol was awesome. Stealing the ruby from another player and replacing it with a fraud: awesome. Cock-blocking them 3 spaces from the docks? AWESOME.

It also had the most beautifully pressed 3-d game board. That's what got me as a kid. The game board was literally a 3d island with ravines and river valleys for the fireballs to travel down.

It's funny. It's those games for little kids, the ones that are really competitive, where my friends and I can play it without getting heated. Not so much with other competitive board games. But when the core of a game is a giant fireball spitting idol, people come in expecting to get reemed.

this looks FUN, and i don't mean the board game.

Dead of Night.

Nice, I will pick that up around the holidays.

I'd like to beautifully press her 3d game board if you know what I mean.

Talking about her glasses..right?

[Cthulhu]

No, her boobs.

I could watch a Fireball roll down those mountain slopes all day....

Seriously, tits and my favorite board games, two great tastes that taste great together.

Stratego

Lovely game. I had Ultimate Stratego growing up, which had a flippable board for 4 player wars. Those were such fun.

Jeezus you guys are such Nerds!
...though I'll admit, she is rather attractive.

Hmmm, I rather like Betrayal at the House on the Hill. Up to 6 players explore a procedurally generated Mansion, arming themselves with tools and artifacts, while dodging hazards and fell curses... at least until The Haunt happens. It's the Haunt which defines the game's goal, the real challenges, and the enemy (it's different every playthrough). A random player (or players) become the enemy, gaining unique powers and a secret objective (usually at the player's expense). The remaining players seek to thwart them, escape the mansion, or complete some other goal that they know, but their enemy doesn't. It's excellent for groups of 4-6 who like strategy games, horror, and inter-player intrigue.

I love it, because it's a different game every time you play it. On the down side, I believe you need a Moderator to run it.
