If you want a GREAT board game for Christmas, we love Ticket to Ride. It's a $50. game, but worth it. Strategy, fast paced and games last about a hour. The original Ticket to Ride can be played with 5 people, they have several other Ticket to Ride games out as well. You'll get hooked if you get one. Just an idea.
Best board game-Ticket to Ride!

You mean other than the fact that it's a horrendously designed board game that people still play for some unknown reason?
I have to agree with Dane Cook on this one.
This is every game of Monopoly ever played. (harsh language)

My girlfriends dad and uncle started with ticket to ride and then got into settlers of catan and stuff like that...they even went to a convention. I can do ticket to ride and Carcasonne but anything past that I don't care to take 30-45 minutes just getting the game explained to me and then spend another couple of hours playing it. My attention span is gone before the directions are over.
Checked it out and it sounds interesting. I've really been looking for a non-video game that both my wife and son would like to play (my wife can't get into any of our video games).
I ended up going to boardgamegeek.com and then bought 7 Wonders. It ranked as their #1 family game. Hope it is, because I paid through the nose for it.

I really like that, and my son is finally old enough that he can play it (though we haven't recently). I got Tide of Iron last Christmas, and it is really fun, but a little too complex for him just yet (12 yrs old).
have played ticket to ride mant times before as well as settlers of catan.
Another good one that I have played multiple time is Power Grid.
a fun game similar to those but with a few different concepts that are guaranteed to get you hooked.

Hopefully my brother-in-law caught my not-so-subtle hint and has picked up Settlers for me for Christmas.
Oh, and History of the World is probably the best board game nobody has ever heard of, much less ever played.

Cycloneopoly with family over Christmas is awesome.

Power Grid is one of my favorites. I have every expansion board too. I've spent waaaay too much money on that game. Still worth it.
