Do you still play board games? What ones?

[Marie5656]

My niece and I have a tradition going back to when she was a kid. When they would come from Conn. for a visit, we would set up a Monoply game and have a marathon game, lasting her whole visit. When we would pause, we would have a not that said "my turn" as a place setter.

Here one of the other tenants in the building loves Scrabble, and would often bring his game down to the community room, and will set up a game.

I played Monopoly with my mom when I was a kid and my dad loved checkers.
When my kids were small I played Shute's and Ladders with them which was their favorite.
I haven't played board games in years. Sadly, my grandkids are more interested in computer games.

The board game our family played when we were kids was Parcheesi.

My kids got into computer games.

I play Monopoly Jr. with the little ones. We sort of make the rules up as we go along.

I get a big kick out of the 5 year old, who always tries to talk me into "fronting" her the money to buy property and then tries to get out of repaying me. I see a great career in finance ahead of her.

The 8 year old doesn't like to spend her money buying property, but doesn't understand why she always ends up last.

The 5 year old is ruthless.

I always played Scrabble with my late mother when I visited her. She was good at it.

Scrabble


and

Checkers, but hardly anyone is serious with that game.

I used to play Monopoly, but quit after I figured out a system for winning that worked about 75 % of the time, at least against my husband.

I love playing Scrabble.

The game I love the most is a card game: Bridge.
