Don't have a picture but a big fave back in the day was "Go to the Head of the Class" - way early precursor to Trivial Pursuit.

We had this when I was a super young. I don't think I ever played it because of how young I was. But I sure would stare at that box and game board with fascination. I have no doubt it was the greatest board game of all time

No. Much like high end chess - games either ended in resignation or mutual draw.

We have both mousetrap and clue. That damn mousetrap game takes longer to setup than my kids enjoy playing it.

Had Stop Thief when I was a kid. One of my fondest board game memories ever.

I really don't think Risk has been forgotten. It has always been one of my all-time favorites and one that I still play regularly.

Can't remember the name but there was one where you had up to 4 players and had to race all your marbles to the center. One player moved the marbles by hitting a button that made them "hop" up a small flight of stairs--4 or 5 steps. Another moved a lever back and forth and made the marbles roll through a path.
