Otras opciones comunes (que quizá podrían ser incluidas en la respuesta): juego de sala (for "board game"), baraja (for "deck of cards"), casillas (for "squares"), comer (for "to capture"). By the way, welcome to Spanish.SE! – Gonzalo Medina Jan 8 '12 at 16:48
Thanks! Agregué tus traducciones. “Baraja” especialmente es mucho mejor, un mazo puede no tener todas las cartas. – angus Jan 8 '12 at 17:42
