I like playing a 2-3 hour game with 3 or 4 friends
What is your favorite board game?
Right now I like a game called Scythe - it is settlers of catan meets risk. Set in some weird alternate europe
Oh yeah i have heard of that game! i read somewhere that it cost $33000 to fund the initial release. Youtube has some videos about it that are very interesting!
I haven't ever helped funded a game. It sounds cool. You typically get a special version of it. Most of the games I've played recently got funded on kickstarter. 
Yeah kickstarter is where that one was funded. What other games do you like. Monopoly is a classic long game. Not necessary complicated but those can go on forever!
I played recently and actually read and followed the real rules - it didn't last long at all. Apperently any space that is landed on is up for sale, if the player says "no thanks" its auctioned off to the other players. So the properties get sold pretty fast.
Wow! I dont think anyone really reads the whole set of rules. For example, I did not know that if you hold all of the cards in a color group then you charge double rent. 
oh yea. that can drain your opponents funds fast. They've made some new versions that have added features too like the ability to steal from other players or using a credit card rather than all the cash
What other longer  video games would you recommend?
video games? i like Fallout 3 and 4 a lot. those can take a ton of time
