I'm not much of a board-gamer (Except Clue, nerds! Traverse Family Christmas Clue Showdown is the highlight of my year!) but I understand that Settlers of Catan is a favorite of board game aficionados.
If you enjoy Settlers, and also enjoy putting sweet goodness in your mouth, then you might enjoy Cupcakes of Catan:Cupcakes of Catan is a fully playable version of the game made with seventy-three cupcakes by Flickr user “QuintanaRoo.”
Traverse Clan, I'm making Cupcake Clue next Christmas. Which is fitting since I always get stuck playing Mrs. White.
