Mouse Trap was one of my favorites growing up. Others include Monopoly, Sorry, Checkers, Chutes and Ladders, Chess (still is today), and many more I'm forgetting.

I would steer clear of one of my favorite games then: Twilight Imperium III. Just setting up is probably 2-3 hours, depending on how much you've forgotten from the last time you've played. We start after breakfast, set up until lunch, break for lunch, come back and start, break for dinner, come back and play, break for a late-night McDonald's run, more playing, and then sometimes finish it up the next day, unless someone runs away with the game early. :)

I've been on a board game kick lately, so I need to go back and read the rest of this thread (missed it the first time around, I think), but just wanted to let folks know about this Kickstarter:

As for my recent games, I've been enjoying the recent trend of escape room games. I've tried one of the Unlock! games and one of the Exit games and have enjoyed them both. I think they do a pretty good job of mimicking an escape room experience for pretty cheap (sometimes as low as $8 for a fun hour with 3 other friends).
Picked up Forbidden Desert the other day and am looking forward to trying it out!
