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

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:

You'd probably love chess if you ever learned. I like the strategy of it.

I haven't played Mousetrap for a long time. But I loved all the gizmos

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?
