One of my favorite board games, besides Monopoly, is Risk. Risk is a 3 to 6 player game. The box says 2 to 6, but it isn't very much fun with only 2 players.
The object of the game, like Monopoly, is to conquer the board. But, unlike Monopoly you don't conquer the board by placing hotels, and winning money. It's not that easy. To win Risk, you must fight other players to conquer contries, then continents, and hopefully the world.
I haven't yet won the game, but each time I learn 1 more thing that helps me. I'll tell you 2 of my tips:
1. Fight and win at least one battle per turn, this will allow you to collect Risk cards. when you have 3 matching Risk cards, you can turn them in, and the next turn you will recieve more armies.
2. At the begining of the game, make sure you conquer Australia and/or South America. This will allow you to place 2 more armies on each turn. Although 2 more armies doesn't sound like a lot, it helps, and you are putting more than your opponent, which helps you win!
Enjoy!
