I chose boardgames, because it's one of my favorite family activities. I love playing them, and have many of them....Crokinole, Settler's of Catan, Shadows over Camelot, ticket to Ride being some of the ones we play the most. So I had to challenge you guys.

That being said.....drumroll.....

Rockeman's NASCAR Monopoly wins it
I love the DoF and the background that is chaotic, yet so recognizable. I love how the car draws me into the picture and then I wander off to the tire and the tall bit, just to see the "MO" and then everyone recognizes what it is...

JohnB - Amazing macro closeup, great interplay of light and dark

monty - this made me laugh, 'cause I just played it a week ago at our friend's home - god did I stink at it. Getting down to 3 was a lot better than I did

Looking forward to next week. Thanks everyone!
