[Special1920]

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.

My other favorite games are:
Double Dutch (D-I-S-S, choice, Sleeping Beauty, Criss-Cross, Around the World, Pop-Up...), 5-4-3-21 (straight rope game), War, Crazy 8's, Monopoly, Connect Four, Sorry, Pac Man, Red light, green light, and Red Rover. zetafg, the hand game you mentioned is actually called, "Miss Mary Mack." Zetaphied, the hand game you're talking about is called "Numbers." I used to like those games as well.

Thank You for the correction!

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

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!


One more thing......Rubik's cube (spelling), The Snake, Whipit
