My family used to be really avid board game players. Less now these days as everyone is so busy, the kids are older and have no interest in hanging out with family as much. Some board games were fun and light, others were very competitive, and some caused outright fights. If you have played any of these games what has been your experience?

Risk. This is a game where my family would become very competitive as alliances would be made that would slowly eliminate 1 player after the other. If you have played this, did it result in some hurt feelings or worse?

Scruples. This is kind of an odd game in that it seems designed to cause fights between its players. Deciding the level of ethics or morals members of your friends and family have. If you have played this, did it sometimes result in tears or people outright leaving?

Survivor the board game. We actually only played this once after someone gave it to us for Christmas one year. Another odd game where the goal is to eliminate all the other players who are completely out of the game once voted out. Me and my cousin formed an alliance from the start and it played out as expected. As players were voted out, they left the table and went and sat in a different room. Some left angry or upset, others were happy to go. Tension between couples who didn't form an alliance and voted each other out caused some tension. What was your experience if you played this game?

Monopoly. This question is not about hurt feelings, although that happened in this game as well, its about what is the longest Monopoly game you have played? The longest for me was around 30 hours over a couple days. What about you?
