What game, board, card, or console/pc have you sunk the most time in?

2. one game to rule them all? can't think of it.

however there's been plenty of games that sucked up huge amounts of my time. here's some of the top contenders.

Collectible Card Game: Vampire: the Eternal Struggle. Magic: the Gathering and Legend of the Five Rings are runner's up, but I quit after they switched to type II set blocks.

Role Playing Game: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition by far. Call of Cthulhu is a runner up. I wish it was In Nomine, but alas you need players in the right mood.

Video Game Console system: a 4-way tie between Sega Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, and Nintendo Gameboy DS.

Video Games: again, either Phantasy Star series, Romance of the Three Kingdoms series (or other Koei game like Gemfire or Aerobiz), Shining Force series, Castlevania series, Diablo II, one of the PC triple threat sequels (Masters of Orion 2, Star Control 2, Civilization 2), some Paradox game (like Europa Universalis) or Railroad Tycoon series.

PC Video Games: Star Control 2 or Master of Orion 2. However the Kyrandia series makes a strong running.

Board Game: unwillingly, Monopoly; that game takes forever. Scrabble also comes up in the same unwilling category. willingly? either Parcheesi, Backgammon, or Trivia Pursuit. i wish my friends and i played more Arkham Horror or Mansions of Madness. GMT games, such as Twilight and Labyrinth, are good fun and would love to replace my unwilling categories.

Card Games: unwillingly, black jack, war, goldfish, hearts, spades, crazy eights, bridge. willingly, a tie between gin rummy, poker, or Uno. mah jongg is a willing also ran, but i need a 4 player quorum for good games, so not played as much as i like.

Parlor/Table Game: Billiards (unwillingly, 8-ball (too common); willingly, standard straight, 9-ball or four ball (pocketless), Darts (unwilling, 301 or 501 (just a challenge to overwork the 20 pt. slice); willing, Round the Clock), Carom.

that's about it for what I can remember. then there's all the solitaires, like crosswords, word-finds, and card solitaires themselves, but who doesn't have those already too high?
