Do you still play them?

I've always loved boardgames. I love playing scrabble alot as well as Scattergories and i've really gotten back into Monopoly. I used to also love Game of Life, Mastermind, connect 4, Boggle and Trouble

Never got into chess or cluedo. Mousetrap was always fun but i never actually played the game - always just set up the trap and let it go.

As far as cardgames go, my absolute favourite is a game called Billionaire which i've played here many times with a group of really good friends. It involves no sequenced turns, but just everyone shouting at the top of their lungs at once!

UNO We still play it at work here when things get boring and the bosses are away. We've got Harry Potter Uno, I've got Barbie Uno. So many types

Don't play that many now - but liked Jenga, BedBugs, Operation and Hungry Hippos. Altho not specifically boardgames, still some of the loudest and annoyingest games for parents to buy their kids

Does anyone remember Mouse Trap? Stupidest game ever and so hard to set up!

I love Cranium!
Brought it a few months back and it's great to play with a group of friends.
Has lots of different aspects of the game with you working in teams doing stuff like:

- trying to guess what your partner is drawing when they are doing it with their eyes closed
- Trying to guess what your partner is moulding out of plasticine

Also love the game Scene It (movie version)
Great again for groups of friends

Yeah the gate keeper guy & he got older and more horrid as the game went on..


still like a good game of drunken chess every now and again. A mate always confuses his queen with bishop & always gets picked off early

I used to like an old "conquer the territory" type game (similar to risk) made in the mid 80s called "Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising".

That, and Hungry Hungry Hippo.
