Remember those toys/games what was your favorite? What do you miss?

As a youngster all we needed was a deck of cards. From War to gin to pity pat to bid.
Or some chalk and a ball for $ corners.
But the CLICK CLACKS, were great, 2 big marble balls on the end of a rope, would drive my mom crazy.

Thank You for the correction!

See...what had happened was....:p ...as children we didn't enunciate the words.....so I grew up saying the wrong thing....:rolleyes:

Another game I liked was Operation...where you had to put the bones back without touching the metal sides.....BUZZZZZZZZ

I forgot about Perfection.

Question: Does anyone still have some of their childhood board games? I recently got rid of my monopoly....it was OLD and you know the money was gone!
