For Christmas, I want to buy a board game for my family since we don't spend that much time together. I want to get a game that won't cost a lot, and maybe be a classic family game, like the one's from when I was little, so games that were popular in the early 90's, but don't say Monopoly, Clue, Boggle, Scrabble, or Yatzee. And it has to be a game for 2-5 people or more.

Life. It Actually takes you through a "life" of your own. You get a house, car, spouse, children, and job. What more could you want? Also, it very fun!

Wow, good thing I came. Monopoly and Risk are all good games if no one cares about playing a game but rolling dice and chasing each other around the board. Scrabble is great if you want to create a spelling bee. If you're interested in a real board game that is fun, family friendly and guaranteed to keep everyone involved until the end I'd try ticket to ride or Puerto Rico. Both are great family games with engrossing game play options. The problem with monopoly and risk is that they are primarily luck based that exclude other players after 30 to 45 minutes of play. Then those excluded player, with no chance of winning, are forced to stay in for hours as they play the pawn of the leading players. At the end, two players go back and forth until one rolls poorly. These games rarely keep the attention of all the family members. The euro games i mention are amazing for keeping all the players involved until the ending rounds. You can take multiple strategies to victory.

LIFE, UNO, Skip BO, Bingo, Trivial Pursuit, Aggravation, Password, Battleship, Dominos,Twister if you have a flexible family, Scrupples, Parcheesi, Scattergories, a simple deck of cards goes a long way. And then there is the old stand bys Monopoly, Clue, Boggle, Scrabble and last but far from least YAHTZEE!
I think it's a great idea for a family gift. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Well, I am not sure if Apples to Apples is classic, but it sure is fun. I have both the junior addition and the adult version. We love them both. The junior one has easier words, the adult one has harder words, but I usually alway know them.
You get to take turn being the judge, and everyone has 7 cards in hand, the word could be Dazzeling, and everyone needs to throw in a card from their hand on what they think Dazzeling means. The answers are sometimes funny, or sometimes so hard the judge will have a hard time figuring out what is the best answer. Trust me, you will love this game.
Balderdash is my other favorite game.

try the LABYRINTH game by RAVENSBURGER..
To start the game, randomly place four maze cards in the center of the table to form a square. The remaining maze cards and placed in a pile where all players can reach them. Each player then draws two maze cards and puts them face up in front of them. On your turn, add one of your cards to the growing maze. In order to be able to take a card from the maze, there must be a path formed from one of the treasures on the card you played to a matching treasure somewhere else in the maze. If this is the case, you can take the card with the same treasure as the card you just played and it will be counted as one of your points at the end of the game. However, you cannot take the card from the maze if it leaves another maze card disconnected. If you cannot form a path to a matching treasure with either of your cards, simply connect one of your cards to the maze and draw another card. When the card deck has been depleted, the player who collected the most cards from the maze wins the game

A really fun game that I actually enjoy playing is called "Apples to Apples" I dont like board games but this one is really fun. Everyone gets seven cards with a random person, place or thing on it. I could keep on explaining how fun it is and how it works. Have fun!

It's a card game rather than a board game, but my family loves Bohnanza. You should be able to find a copy at any decent specialty game store - it's published by Rio Grande Games.

Balderdash is a real fun family game, although I would say age 12 and up, younger kids might not relate. You make up definitions for real obscure words and try to fool everyone you can to gain points. If you guess the correct definition, which is one of the choices, you score a points, too.
