CCG: nah, too expensive. Once I sank a truckload of money into M:tG (Magic: The Gathering for those uninitiated  ). The one big problem is they keep producing more stuff so you have to keep buying. Good money making trick for the publisher but sucks for the players.
Boardgames: yeah, used to play lots of them. The games we played most often include Civilization, Titan, Starfleet Battles, Talisman, Kings & Things, and British Rails. You can tell that we were into silly games than deeply involved ones such as Empire at Arms. We played some of the games so much that we knew all the optimized moves, or at least an optimizing strategy. The rest are either too complex or random for that to take place.
These games were a major time eater. Civilization or Titan easily took up a whole night as we usually started after 2100 (that's when the grad courses ended). SFB might be longer, might be shorter, depending on the scenario. Anything more than a dozen capital ships and a few fighters would take forever to complete. As a matter of fact, we had a computer program to aid in bookkeeping for the game. 
Card games: mostly Bridge, Spade, Hearts, and something we called Back Alley Killer Bridge Substitute. I have no idea what its real name is  . We used to play Nightmare Bridge ("Play till you drop.") all the time in the dorms.
Other games: Chess, Weichi (Go), and a few others.

Personally, I'm fairly mundane. A bit of Milles Bornes with the wife on quiet nights. 3 player MB is so cutthroat though, it's a miracle if anyone ever finishes a race.
The whole family plays clue so much we bought some of those cereal boxes with the CD for computer clue inside. Couldn't stand it, though. Clue in hot seat play is a disaster area
Board games like life, Scrabble, Careers, Trivial pursuit, etc.
Card games like MIlles Bornes, Skip-bo, Uno, Phase 10.
You get the picture.

does anyone here play other games as in non-computer games? like board games, or collectable card games... or minitatures games? i myself have just recently gotten back into legend of the five rings, and epic card game set in a feudal japan type place.
also, i have a sizeable Dark Angels force for warhammer 40k. to give an idea of exactly how big, i have recently fielded 3 land raiders. and the terminators to go in them.

I am trying to get back into wargaming, the kind made by AH, Victory Games, SPI, etc.
I have a number of Civil War & Modern Warfare games, I even have a couple of WWII games. Recently I have started acquire the out of print games through E-bay.

I used to play Boot Hill, Victory in the Pacific, War at Sea, King Maker, Statego, Midway, and Risk fairly often.
I still play AD&D and Monopoly when I get a chance.
