I like card games better-although Monopoly is cool.

Cribbage is my favorite game of all.

I love trivial pursuit, scrabble, civilization, diplomacy, chess, and especially backgammon, and erm, everything after that is kinda boring, well Risk was alright. :-6

Cool idea for a thread! :guitarist

Red · Post by **Red** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 12:38 pm

df's always saying he will teach me chess but weve never gotten round to it, we found more time to make babies actually!!

Backgammon looks very complex also...im much more of a snap girl myself :rolleyes:

Thats it alright, you attack Oceania, and I will invade South America buddy, actually I had a game called Diplomacy that was like risk, but it was more fun, as there was even more backstabbing all the time! "How dare you Austro-Hungary!", I am going to move my Fleet into Trieste with the help of the Turks, and drive you out!", oh happy days! :wah:

I only ever got it to work once, did you have Kerplunk in Canada, or Operation, or Buckeroo, or them lot? I had operation, it was boring after a while.

Another general question, does anyone outside of Ireland know the card game called 25's? Its the best card game ever, it might have a different name elsewhere, its low in black, high in red, 5 of trumps always beats the Jack of Trumps, ace of hearts next, that one??? Anyone recognize that? I am very good at it, me dad taught me.

Last time I played I kept telling them I didn't want to own things but they kept making me buy stuff. Then they decided they were better off without me so they tried to buy stuff from me and I wouldn't sell it because they wanted it so bad.

See?

OK, I admit it, I was on the school's top chess team when I was 8, I am a nerd really, I did play this Russian guy, but he beat us all (as usual) that ruined my chess career really.
