A modern classic board game.  This game is one that everyone should have.  It is super simple to learn, and appeals to a big audience.  Board games can be a weird thing, sometimes describing a board game doesn't sound like any fun.  But, when you play it, somehow it is.  This is one of those games that you don't actually know who won until the very end of the game, which is a huge plus for me.  Nothing is more boring than a 2 hour game of Monopoly that has a very obvious winner 30 minutes in.
