settlers is fun--it can take a while though. the first time i played was with 3 experienced players and i won. havent even come close since then though...
my favorite game ever is Balderdash. incorporates all my favorite things in a game :-p (creativity, vocabulary, bluffing, general knowledge...) highly reccomended.
also, my friend just got this New Yorker Photo Caption game...basically it has a stack of New Yorker single pannel cartoons (sans caption) and each round you have 1 minute to come up with the funniest caption you can. players take turns judging..very enjoyable, although harder then you'd think it'd be.
other favorites include scrabble, cranium, pente (go), clue, risk, and euchre for you midwesterners (although thats not a board game)
