UNO (okay, so its a card game)
Flip it and reverse it! I Just like Missy Elliot. My anger is guided by spite and calculation. And I hold grudges. For years. UNO is just perfect.

The Game of Life
I like nothing more than to watch a person get a boring job, a set of twins and turn into a bitter, unfulfilled wreck of a person.

Life
I liked that game as a child. Thinking back, I can see how evil it is. There should be a version with sex, drugs, divorce, and the option to sell your babies on the black market. Prostitute and junky should definitely be lifestyle chioces.

RISK
How has nobody said risk yet? The ultimate game of unrealistic domination in which it is totally possible and acceptable to gain someone’s trust and then viciously backstab them? Not that I would ever do that . . . wanna form an alliance?

ERS
Again, not exactly a board game, but there would be nothing like messing with people’s minds by passing someone Lance (the Jack of Hearts), let him or her come close to winning and then lose them on a slap. Ah, the perverse joy of watching their facial contortions as certain victory is snatched away from them…

fair enough, ERS was a close second for myself as well. Any card game which can become bloodthirsty has points in my book. RISK just seems a more classic example.
December 31st, 1969 at 4:00 pm
Risk is good
But not my second. I was thinking along the lines of:
1: Monopoly. Players already try to screw their fellow players, though, so not much use for it.
2: Chutes and Ladders. Think you’re way ahead? I don’t think so!

whoops
Oh oh oh….I was thinking Shit Weazel, until I remember how hard it was to extricate the gerbil last time I played. Then I th- th- thought that Teabag, or Bitch Slap Poker might be more more more appropriate. Weeee! But uppon further–zao!!!–reflection, I would list Operation as the game that most sucessfully repreesents my anger. Though zee game itself takes a beating….and not so much the other players. zap zap zap! POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whoa whoa whoa there I go…….

Okay so which game is analogous to your anger is the actual question that me and NHK came up with in a car ride to his house. He was Uno because he could instantly reverse on you with a stunning blast of anger.
Mine was Jenga because I stack of my anger and the last person to pull the anger out of me might be t he last one to destablize the whole thing then it global nuclear Jenga baby… stack it till it falls lets all pray it doesn’t get too high. LOL Jon E.

1. What the hell is ERS?
B. Operation is a good one.
3. I vote for Sorry! (or for you purists, Parcheesi) Not only does it represent my anger, it pisses me off.

Link
I thought I’d included the link for ERS (at least one of many links). Here it is: http://sp.ookee.com/journal/games/ers.html

vote change
I am withdrawing my vote for risk and changing it to ERS, simply because of the versatility. It’s a game that has been reinvented (and re-named) so many times, it allows for more personalized anger. I’ve never seen half of the rules used at the link above, and I myself use plenty of rules which aren’t there. And I always used to call it ERF.
December 31st, 1969 at 4:00 pm
We used to call it simply Rat Fuck, and played it in college all the time. Our rules were much simpler and made for a faster paced game. The “official” rules can be much more complicated and offer more opportunities for screwage, but we had loads of fun just the way we did it. The best part for us was the deck I had gave names to all the royalty and in short order we were calling the cards by thier names. Thus the reference to Lance above (from the Arthurian legends).

ERS is a very good choice… hard to pick between that and Pictionary… a game of strained communication and violent tempers.

Freaking MONOPOLY
Yeah…thats it…roll yer dice and land on my flipping Park Place with 64 hotels on it.
Mwaa haa haaaaaaaaa……………

ERS was super fun back-in-the-day.

Munchkin
Munchkin is mine. The tag line for it reads “Kill the monsters, steal the treasure, stab your buddy”

Chess, clearly. When I’m angry, I mean it, and I’m not happy leaving anything to chance.
