Is Risk geeky enough?
I also really enjoy playing APBA baseball and golf (similar to Strat-O-Matic)...the board game versions.
I have not played any of the really obscure board games you mentioned.
I have a game called Perquacky. It is boggle...without bounds.
Mille Bournes is a card game that I have but have not played that my friend has played but does not have...go figure.
I am a huge monopoly/life addict though. Best board games EVER!
I've never heard of the "geeky" board games you mentioned but I think im a monopoly/life lifer... i could never get sick of those games...
and, for the girl that i am, i was obsessed with candy land for quite some time :p

My friend explained it as a card game that has to do with cars...not bi-lingual stuffs.
Risk and Hero Quest!
Stratego. :choc2:
They have almost no FMVs and the storylines suck.
I like board games
I remember a few years ago I went to a friend's house and he taught me how to play Risk, then I played a game with him and his brother. That was the first and last time I played it.
I like Boggle alot, most board games just rely on luck, I prefer to actually think during a board game...if I wanted to play Snakes and Ladders, I might as well flip a coin, its the same game...
heh risk...i have lord of the rings risk...that's a double-dose of geek right thereQuote:

Also Othello, mastermind, chess, even though I'm not very good at it. Anything that makes me think.
Oh, and Clue. Gotta have Clue. :)
There was this board game a long time ago called Arch Rival. It was basically a balancing game using brightly colored pieces. Anyone remember this one?
hah scrabble...never got too creative with the many words at my disposal, unless you count the time i used ephemeral
We play board/card games every day at lunch time with other Ph.D. students here, I'll try to make a list of what we have:
Elixir + expansions.
Munchkin + Munchkin 2.
Carcassonne.
Wooly bully.
Citadels + expansion.
Creatures and cultists.
Werewolf + New Moon.
6 Nimmt!.
Ivanohe.
Ca$h & Gun$.
Frag.
Jungle Speed + expansion.
Once upon a time.
Lunch Money.
Mall of horror.
And sometimes, we do an evening of board games where we also play:
Tigris & Euphrates
La cittą.
War of the ring.
Ticket to ride europe.
Mare Nostrum.
Puerto Rico.
Caylus.
You all fail at geek :D
man that's mind-numbing i bow to your geekness
Cranium... TURBO!
I love that game cause I'm so good with useless trivia and I rock at the charades part of the game. Plus I reeeally like playing with the Playdo. :)

I like Monopoly.
Balderdash can be incredibly fun with some friends.
Also, Cluedo is a better name than Clue.
Risk is allright. I hardly ever play boardgames though...
