weed131: George Washington - Washington's War
resin: Cleopatra, Hive
beerbear: Dracula, The Finding Nemo Memory Game
bcooperok: Henry Kissinger, Twilight Struggle
Xandro: Jerome K. Jerome, Little Wars.
Corran Horn: I think I'd play RoboRally vs. Isaac Asimov. Or Arkham Horror with H.P. Lovecraft. Or The Lord of the Rings: The Board Game with J.R.R. Tolkien.
Septic: Erwin Rommel, DAK2
Cringing Dragon: I'm not that fussy.
Hendal: tough one, could it be from the future? the future history people?
Dubbelnisse: Hermann Hesse; The Glass Bead Game
mr. assist: cribbage, my grandfather
henk.rolleman: Jesus
tickmanfan: Any game with Helen Keller or Crokinole with Stephen Hawking.
Phil Fleischmann: Manifest Destiny with George Washington, or Khet with Isaac Newton, or RoboRally with Charles Babbage, or...
aleo09: i'd have to give that some thought
bigbadsteve: bonaparte at marengo with bonaparte
TheKeck: I don't know.
arkibet: Attila the Hun... and we'd play Hide the Salami.
shteev: I'd play Hungry Hungry Hippos with Socrates
Hector Vortac: Kohle, Kies & Knete with Walt Disney, Einstein, Mark Twain and Jesus.
Kafka: George W. Bush - Diplomacy (Someone has to teach the little bastard what diplomacy is)
DHEK: Hmmm... I think I'd play with anyone who'd be fun to play with, regardless of the game. But of course, it should be a fun game.
TheArchAngel: Gehgis Khan...Stratego
MadGonzo: Catherine the Great - Twister.
purvisa: JFK: Diplomacy
Ebon Wendigo: Ulysses S. Grant, Battle Cry
szilaj: Garry Kasparov / chess
karstenengelmann: Hannibal - Hannibal: RvC (I'll take the Carthaginians, thank you)
Admiral Fisher: Jutland - vs the real Admiral Fisher.
brainrob: Hannibal - against Hannibal
Helenoftroy: Shakespeare, Shakespeare the bard's tale
Deeghter: Hitler! Russian Roulette with an automatic gun, one bullet in the magazine and he's got to go first!
thugbert: I would kick Einstein's ass at ticket to ride then yell "who's the genius now!" because I need to do things like that to make me feel like a big man
mrspank: Napoleon. Risk.
Loquutus: Someone that wouldn't mind have boogers wiped on them.
Joanna Olsen: Jesus ... Feasome Floors
Beowulf: Dang, I was going to say "Robert E. Lee, and Gettysburg," only to find that the previous person said pretty much the same thing. Longstreet wouldn't be a good opponent, by the way. He knew they shouldn't have fought there. "On day one, turn one, I withdraw." Honorable mention: "Empire of the Rising Sun" with Admirals Nimitz or Halsey. "Pictionary" with Jackson Pollock. "Ouija" with Jesus.
otha62: James Longstreet, Gettysburg (Avalon Hill)
chrisisapimp: idk
Unitbuster: Teddy Roosevelt, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots

sourwyrm: supposedly peter sellers loved diplomacy, i'm not a huge fan of the game but it would be fun to play a board game with him
SteveK2: Helen of Troy, Twister
thoia: Tough call. First thought would be Jesus, but he'd win. Dr. Seuss would be cool but he'd have some weird interpretation of the rules meaning he'd win. Mozart would probably be interesting and would have some cool background music but he'd not hear most of the out of context banter that usually goes around my gaming table and would wonder why were all laughing, think we were making of fun of him and go home. Napoleon would be fun to play a war game with but if you did start to win, he'd probably have you executed. Mark Twain had a great sense of humor but after a few drinks he'd most likely walk off and start rambling about the humidity or moss growth on a tree or something and not finish the game. Billy the Kid was known to play poker a good bit, but pulling out a copy of Wyatt Earp might would make him shoot you dead before you could even open the box. A game of Acquire with Al Capone...now that might be the trick, he'd bring the booze but like Napoleon you'd be dead before you even knew it if he thought you were going to win. So boiling it down I'd probably go with P.T. Barnum. Yeah I'd like to play with P.T. Barnum...the game, I don't know but it'd have to be one that I felt I could get away with cheating at very well. That way when I won I could look him in his heart broken eye and yell "SUCKER!".....................Ahhhh that'd be fun. (come on people, that's a tip worthy answer to a GeekQuestion if ever there was one!)
