Subject: Board Games You Used To Play

Posted by: milesprower18

Do you remember what board games you used to enjoy playing when you were younger?

My favorite board games to play when I was younger were Fraidy Cats and Mouse Trap. I also played Monopoly, which I still enjoy playing.

What were your favorite board games to play when you were a kid?

Still love Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly and Scrabble. Haven't played it for a while, but Chinese Chequers (? spelling) was also good. Card games - Canasta is great.

As a child I loved the game Uncle Wiggly and also Candyland. As I got older, I like to play Chinese Checkers and Life. Of the newer board games, I really like Apples to Apples.

My all time favorite was Monopoly.You really don't see youngsters playing board games any more. They have the expensive hand-held games now.

I still play "Battleship" and "Risk" with friends and my children. I dislike the "Risk" game for two players, because my son and I have had games go on for 2 days.

Must change up my strategy, because my sneaky son always wins. I have been playing this game my entire life, and now I am losing to a 10 year-old. Complete humiliation. :(

As a child; Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, Sorry, draughts and chess.

As a student; Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, chess, Risk and numerous weird and strange games from other parts of the globe..

With a husband but Before Children; he couldn't and wouldn't play chess, I always lost by a billion points when we played scrabble, Trivial Pursuit was a none starter, so we decided that board games were off the agenda for a while.

With Children; we now are back to random games; Sorry, Tumbling Monkeys, Snakes and Ladders anything where your education and age count for nothing.
Three of us play Trivial Pursuit, three of us play Cluedo, two of us play Hnefatafl, Thud and chess.

Scrabble is still off the list, even though we restricted husband to one language, daughter takes after him.
Some games are just too dangerous to play in some families. :)

Likewise card games involving memory for images, Boy wins every time.

I remember a game called "Go to the Head of the Class" from the early 60's, I think. I loved it! I guess it was one of the first 'trivia' type games.

I used to play Sorry, Candyland, Life, Scatagories, Imagine If and Worsed Case Scenario as a child. These days it's true that kids are not as into board games or playing in the great outdoors as they were 20 years ago. It's amaizing what technology can do.
