Come walk down the darkened alleys of your game store's shelves and breathe deep the dark miasma that wafts from the assembled multitudes.
They come to worship him that has risen from fell Rilyeh, and to dice with Nyarlothep in the forests of EuroAmeriAbstractia. But first we needs to alter -- altar? -- those other games that lack our most wonderous cyclopean Elder by tossing him into the mix.
What shall be the result, I wonder? Does it matter, you say. No, I suppose not.
Dread Cthulhu shall now infest these games that have heretofore ignored him. And boy is he nonplussed.
Which games need more Cthulhu and why?
------------
Cthulhu calls kids through >Candy Land<. Start them young on the road to insanity.
Oooh, Candyland Cthulhu. My son would love that. And while we're at it, what about Chutes and Ladders. Monopoly - Innsmouth Edition?

Ooh, how about
"The Call of Cthu-Clue?"
Here is >Haiti< a small *zombies* expansion for the board game Puerto Rico.
It has downloads.. oooh.

Lawn darts.
... the original premise of tossing the dart into the ring now becomes a frantic bid for survival as the ground opens up and gibbering horrors start climbing up. I am especially fond of the metagame stage where you realize your lawn dart partner couldn't hit the ring if he were standing right next to it - adds a completely new level of fun and competition to the game as you try to shove HIM/HER into the ring so you can make the get-away.

This game is started by you and your fellow players casting a spell out of the dread Necronomicon. The rolling of the dice into specific combinations is actually a unique counterspell mechanism necessary to stop the arrival of whatever horror it is that answers that fell, arcane call you did to start the game.
Tic Tac Cthulhu?
Kill Doctor Llanfer?
Hungry Hungry Hasturs!
~laughter~ Good one, Heathy!
Nearly everything is better with Cthulhu.
Ooh, how about
"The Call of Cthu-Clue?"
I would kill for that game.
Uncle Wiggly makes a very good Cthulhu game, especially if you use the board as an alternate board for Arkham Horror.
The same can be done with Candyland.
Anybody remember that game, Don't Spill the Beans? Take a shot at that one.
Oh, that's easy: The Fungi From Yugoth's "Don't Spill the Brains"
Axis & Allies -

Mr. Mouth in Tsathoggua and Cthulhu editions. Flick your investigators into the gaping mouth of madness!
Proverbial Wisdom - Necronomicon Edition Starry Wisdom
Barrel of Monkeys - Barrel of Mi-go
Rockem Sockem Shoggoths?
Old Maid
More cTHuLhu?
hahaha; run in fear; all the Old One are the prime evil protagonists in my game and they are almost awake from their eons of magical slumber.

Monopoly has done special editions for everything else, so why not do Mythosopoly? You can guess what replaces boardwalk. >:D
You could have cultists and idols for houses and hotels. Your playing piece could be one of those adorable Cthulhu statues I saw at the online store.
Rock, Paper, Cthulhu! would be my other idea.
A fun party game for a group of 5 to 30 people to play. The rules of the game can be learned in less than 3 minutes. One person acts as moderator, overseeing a village of people, one (or more) of which are secretly Cthulhu worshippers! The worshippers begin sacrificing the other villagers one by one.

Heh, he wouldn't be the first to try; as evidenced by things here, here, and here. Needless to say, anime fandom is rife with little dance crazes that pop up now and then (ie. Caramelldansen or Hare Hare Yukai).
Sacrifice Dr. Lucky?
Stonehenge?
Parcheesi! (You don't wanna be pushed off the board!)
Animal Crossing.
Anything with Super Mario in it.
