Note: I have cribbage.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

I really need a job where I just read and play games all day.

My two favorite games include 'acey-doucey', a variation on backgammon that goes really quickly and, if you are my hapless ex-husband, can leave you owing 50k in imaginary dollars. Still hasn't paid me, I might add.
I also love a card game called Mao, which is basically the intelligent, argumentative person's crazy 8s. One crowd I played in would routinely have 20 minute debates about the nuances of rules. It was SO much fun. The truly hardcore newbies would learn the rules through observation. It's pretty rough.
Guillotine from Wizards of the Coast is another favorite, though I think it is out of print at the mo.
Harry Potter Clue? FUN!
I also went through a fiery mah jongg period. I've got a beautiful set I just don't use anymore.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The pieces were little trucks and you loaded little pucks into them, right?
Hee! Man, I loved that game.
Monopoly: I always begged so that they'd let me use both the dog and the wheelbarrow as my player piece. I propped the dogs legs up in the wheelbarrow so that it looked like the dog was pushing the wheelbarrow. I am awesome like that.

Severly cranky today. Everyone was annoying, but that might just be me.

Guillotine is good (and still available on Amazon, where it sits on my kid gift list). It is one of the few games I actually liked playing with my niece and nephew when they were younger (along with Rat-a-Tat-Cat, Triominos, and Yahtzee Jr.).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Nope, it's very popular at my comic book/game store, and I have bought several copies as gifts.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ooh, Guillotine! That's fun. So is Apples to Apples. (especially if you play it with people you know, and try to play to the judge that way). There's a kids' version out there, as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yahtzee Jr? How hard is Yahtzee Sr?
My Leverage water bottle got a laugh in the break room based on nothing but the quote ("Geek power baby. Stay strong."). I'm pretty sure he didn't recognise the show, because he didn't mention it. Still not taking it to meetings, though. Only for peers.

It's more that it is fun with the pictures (and there is no scoring to do). Sadly, the original Mickey Mouse version is out of print and you mostly only find movie tie-in versions.
