Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Monopoly and Risk are my favorites.
When I was a kid I remember my friends and I used to write down where we left off on these games so we could continue playing them later.
I remember one game of Risk dragged on every day for more then a month, good times.
Stratego, RISK, Pictionary, Monopoly, Clue, Life and Chess...

Railroad Tycoon...Nimmar...Axis & Allies...oh, and of course my game: General Warfare.

I'm not convinced that's real.
Railroad Tycoon was a board game?
As someone who loves old stuff, trains, train sets, board games, and Tycoon games I must own this, now!!!
It is very addictive...

Wait, there's another bumped thread that didn't need to be bumped? Stop the presses!

Tell me about General Warfare. Are you saying you designed it yourself? Do you have a complete description somewhere?

You, sir, have not played enough Sierra graphic adventure games.
Of course, I can't guarantee whether Nine Men's Morris actually exists in real life... but it clearly does in the world of Robin Hood.

Perhaps this might help... though it's not exactly a board game.

I designed it to be a continuous game: that is to say that while each player has a 'turn' everyone else also has a simultaneous sub-turn. All pieces have a move-range of a single distance during one's non-turn or else 2 distances during one's actual turn (a token is passed around to denote the turn of the given player). Alternately a player may choose to transport pieces in sets of three by getting them into a specific configuration: that is to say that a player may align them during their off-turn, but is only able to transport them during their actual turn. In this way one is capable of moving 3 pieces at a time during a given turn and only a single piece in-between turns.
It was designed for up to 8 players and each would have an army of 30 troops. The pieces begin in camps off of a central circular game board. A player begins by being able to move one piece per turn onto the main central board. Different sections of the central board allow for different movement patterns and rates (river, ground, bridge, etc.). Various staging areas exist to allow the grouping of troops as detailed above.
The goal is to invade and completely capture the camp of a rival player positioned directly across the board while losing as few pieces as possible to rivals on the main board who can capture one another during their actual turns by landing on the same space. A convoy piece (3 armies joined) captured in this way will lose all 3 pieces at once.
The winner is the one who has the most pieces make it into the enemy camp so one strategy is to leave some of one's own pieces at one's own camp to capture any would-be invaders.

Sounds cool. I've started inventing a game, but at present it is rather unweildly. I haven't really focused on it for some time, but ultimately I'm trying to figure out how to keep certain elements intact while simplifying others and keeping it enjoyable. And after that, who knows if it is even playable until I give it a good test?
Chess is my favourite board game. Chess is fun!
