Well, more like an ultimate compromise, really. Obviously we all have different favorite, but rather, a game that we, as a community, would all be happy to have represent us as our "favorite game".
Well, really, this is more for the people who have played this game. If you haven't, shame on you, go play it right now.
I know it hasn't won any contests and probably hasn't been represented very well in general in board contests, but the answer is:
Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden: Chapter 1 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa
I *know* that anyone who has played this game would be quite happy to compromise with a large community and deem this as their collective favorite game.
