Board Games

[Hostile]

With the advent of the computer age board games are not as popular as they used to be. Do you have a favorite?


Mine is Risk. I still play it with my nephews when we have a family get together. A close second is Scrabble. I had a neighbor for 5 years when we lived in some apartments on the other side of town. We played almost every Saturday. He is now a college professor of linguistics in another state.

I used to love to play Risk a lot as a kid, then my Uncle brought over Axis and Allies and that was the end of Risk. I haven't played either in years though. From what I've seen, Axis and Allies has changed a lot.

I used to love the game Life too. Scrabble is fun, but I burn out on it after one game and won't play it again for a long time.

Sorry and Clue were always fun too.

Cranium is my favorite game

My current fave is Scrabble. Me & my boys don't play as much as we used to but when we do it's usually for $$$! Growing up Monopoly & Parcheesi were probably the two I played the most.

Used to play axis and allies with some friends but like you it has been years ago.

You can't fool us. We know what your game of choice is.

Umm, that was me. ...well, without the overalls. That might have been Paint.

Scrabble, Life, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit

 

[Yeagermeister]

Scrabble, Life, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit

My family refused to play TP with me because I knew too many of the answers. :laugh2:

 

[bbgun]

Scrabble, Life, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit

Played those a lot as well. Add Pay Day to the list, too.

 

[CowboyDan]

I also loved Battleship, Pay Day, Monopoly & The American Dream.

Of course, nothing tops a good match of chess.

 

[CowboyDan]

Gotta love it.

Played that as well...but no that is not me in the overalls...would not be caught dead in them and that kid is way too skinny.:laugh2:

A great game for the family if you have kids is Apples to Apples.

I am like Yeag, no one liked playing TP with me because my head is filled with useless crap as most of you know.

As a teen and young adult, my older sister (by 10 years) and I used to have epic Scrabble battles. Haven't played in years though.

Every now and again the wife and I will break out a board game. I'm a big fan of Sequence. Simple as all get out.

But if you like board games, this one isn't as well known, but it's a lot of fun. This is our favorite game:

Full confession: I killed Professor Brainpaint in the brothel with a marital aid.

 

[BehindEnemyLinez]

Gotta love it.

Oh man!!! I had forgotten about Pay Day! Used to LOVE that game as a kid!
