Fun Tabletop Games?

Mr. Ghost asks: "My friends and I have recently been in the market for a good new boardgame or other tabletop game. We have worked through the gamut of games like Axis & Allies, Supremacy, and War! Age of Imperialism. More recently we have been playing tile based games like Carcasonne and Settlers of Catan. I am looking for some suggestions on some new games we could get into."

I like Risk

Risk is the type of game that rises above the board when you're playing among other adults. What starts out as a game of pieces and movement generally becomes one of political intrigue, making alliances, and casting doubt upon other alliances. We've reached the point where everyone has to go to the porch for a smoke break at the same time because no one feels comfortable about what strategies might be birthed behind their backs...

Seriously, the best way to play Risk is drunk at the all you can eat all night buffet and places like Eat 'N Park(I don't know if they have places like that were you are). There is nothing like cold sausage, pancakes, and the randomly belligerent strategies that you come up with while drunk. Classic....or maybe I'm just a dork that doesn't go and get laid when drunk :P

Illuminati card game!

because you know you want to believe that the Goldfish Fanciers are secretly controlling the Robot Sea Monsters that are actually behind the Republicans :-) fantastic game...

Re:Go, really

[nkh]

Go is a very good game and I agree with what you said but for more than two players, you'll have to paint your stones in different colors than the boring white/black (I suggest red, green, yellow and blue ;)

An oldie but a goodie...

Spin the bottle.

But don't play it by yourself. That's depressing. And a little creepy.
