Scrabble...yeah! I agree about having Scrabble on this list. Word games are the best. I would have considered adding Scrabble or Boggle to this list. I also have been enjoying a new word game (though it certainly isn't a classic at this point) called 5 To Close. www.5toclose.com/word-unscrambler-game.html Its a good variation because it is a word game played in teams. I also haven't played Jumble yet, but I have heard great things about it and it has been recommended to me by others.

This is a typically lazy list, someone has already mentioned Modern Art but where is Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Alhambra or my own favourites Caylus, Power Grid, El Grande. Any games list that still includes Monopoly is so outdated, take some time to investigate the wealth of real games out there and this list would soon be different.
