Scrabble is the best game ever. I see your point, however. Other games can be...o_O!!!
Don't really dig boardgames actually. I enjoy the more known ones, like Scrabble, Monopoly, and Risk, but others don't entertain me to much.
There's a board game called Arkham Horror you'd probably be into. At the Mountains of Madness is a great story.
I've only read a hanful of stories, but Lovecrafts The Tomb is my favorite so far from his works.
I think I may have hit on you once before.
