Another Risk fanatic here. My SO, my sister, and her boyfriend du jour have a standing Friday night game going. I win about 40% of the time, and the poor guys Sissy brings in that think they're going to take out the three girls using their one strategy they learned in college routinely get their asses handed to them, and if not, we have ways of throwing them off their games. Sometimes when she's out on a date, we'll have the neighbor guys over as a substitute, and they're fun cuz they're not really there for the game and they're really, really easy to distract and take advantage of.
Clue is fun, if only for the freaky way my SO can figure out the solution in one or two turns.
Not a board game, but Jenga, the block stacking game, is surprisingly fun, especially when played as a strip version.
Euchre is a great trick taking card game for four players, easy to learn, perfect for partner play or cutthroat.
Any of the standard Trivial Pursuit games are like taking candy from a baby with team play. I cover literature, history, and movies, my SO the science and Nature and Sports. We've cleared the sixth edition in a single turn.
