Favorite Board Games

[CrimsonTide4]

Growing up, we all played them. From Candy Land to Monopoly, whether you were bored out of your mind or stuck inside on a rainy or snowy day, what was YOUR GAME?!!?

We did not have many games, my brother and I, but one of our faves was DON'T BREAK THE ICE.

Pictionary

This is not a board game, but dominoes

When I was younger, my brothers and I loved our "Ants in the Pants" game...we couldn't go a day w/out playing it!!

In college, my friends and I went out and purchased a Monopoly game. We lived in a suite (8 people) and of the 8, 5 of us were seniors, and we only had 12 hours each, filled mostly with classes we didn't really need....so, when everyone finished for the day and was just having down time, we would pull out the board and go at it until somebody won!! And since we seemed to always have down time, we were always playing!!

When I was younger we played the game of Life, Monopoly, Sorry, and Trouble. Trouble was my for real for real favorite.

This isn't a board game, but my sister and I would go crazy over Connect 4....lol! I was such a little nerd that I loved to play Scrabble (still do).

My brother and I were some LIFE and Connect 4 playing mojos.
We did not play a whole lot of Monopoly until both of us were teenagers and it would be an aaaaaaaalllllllll day affair.

We also played Trouble.

LMAO, I was the banker too and would either pay myself twice or just dip into the bank when the funds were low and the debts were high

I loved Connect four, Othello and Trouble.

'Trouble' was our family game with my poppy (RIP)

My mom normally beats the pants off me playing 'Scrabble' but I got her back recently by using all my letters TWICE during one 500-pt game. Needless to say, I beats the pants of HER that game.

My six-year-old almost always beats me in 'WAR', go figure.

When I get together with my cousins, uncles and aunts, we LOVE card games like 1000's (a wildcard version of 500 Rummy) and King's Korner (a modified version of Solitare but plays up to 4 people). We also play 'UNO' and 'Spades'.

'Spades' was the game back on campus though. If you didn't take it seriously and continually reneged, you would find yourself without a partner for the next few gatherings!

I love Scrabble and Trivia Pursuit.

Hungry hungry hippoes!

Spades!
Dominoes!
Battleship!

I didn't play a lot of games requiring more than 1 person because I was an only child. The neighborhood children were "bad" so my mom didn't let them come in the house a lot. But when I did play games it was:

Monopoly
Checkers
Connect 4
Memory
Hungry Hungry Hippos
