Board Games..

[Oscar Namechange]

Did you have a favourite as a child ? Ahhh the days when the whole family sat around when I was a kid and we played Totopoly, The Horse Racing board game.

What did you play?

We played checkers, Monopoly, Life, Sorry, Card games like War (Rummy with Grandma), me & dad played chess. Oh, Careers. Bought all these same games for my son. My first game was Candyland, as was his. My father & I played Dice (would lose my 5 cents! allowance every week, which I only got if I took some smelly thing everyday---cod liver oil?---it was awful)

Sorry is like Chinese Checkers, which we also played. My older sister made up a lot of games, like we would throw all toys on the floor & "fish" for them with strings that had hooks.

& a lot of games were made up by us & friends. I still love board games.

Monopoly was a regular in our family.

Dad's family had one of the first edition game boards.

Chinese Checkers, and Parchis were other games we played. And Chess.

Your sister's games sound like a lot of fun!

My favourite as a youf was Risk

But I was brought up on card games - crib, whist, solo and, later on, bridge. Kept me quiet for hours

Monopoly!! My cousin and I used to stay up half the night sometimes playing Monopoly! There's also a game that a lot of us play around here, I've been playing it since my daddy taught me as a child, it's called Rook.

mmm we never really played board games. Bits were always missing.

My mum never liked board games, because when she was little and her dad lost at playing a board game, he used to chuck the whole game though the room.. Bad case of sore loser syndrome.

We played cards instead. Mostly blackjack, or Rummy.

Cluedo... That was another.

Colonel Mustard In the Library with the lead piping and all that.

[AnneBoleyn]

Yes! Clue & Parcheesi were definitely played a lot.

The Rook game that I referred to earlier actually is a card game so I guess it doesn't count as a board game.
