Beautiful Day: Favourite Board Games - Xanga home

to answer the question?

What is your favourite board game?

Oh gosh, I could talk about this for hours, and I think I will do just that!?

Nostalgia washed over me when I Googled board games to see all these old favourites!?

When I was young, we loved to play

Mousetrap

Boggle

Monopoly

Scrabble

and some really ancient ones were

The Patty Duke Game (at my Dad's friend's house)

Robin Hood

Mastermind

Chinese Checkers

Draughts

Snakes and Ladders

Ludo

Trouble

Yahtzee

Connect Four and

Battleship (with my cousin)

Also, we played a ?heap of card games like Snap, Fish, Clock Patience, Patience, Rummy, Up the River Down the River (at my neighbour's house, with matches for winnings), Old Maid, and later on

Uno,?

and Skip Bo.

We also had Bonkers!?

?Wheel of Fortune:

And Trivial Pursuit

But my favourite one of all time is The Game of Life. I love that game!

We used to play this when we went to Mt Barker each year to stay on a farm with my Dad's cousin's family. Such good times, feeding orphaned lambs during the day, and playing board games at night.

Even now we play the Game of Life. Other board games and card games we have played with Jack are?

Monopoly (we have a few different versions),?

Deal or No Deal,?

YuGiOh,?

and Pokemon.?

Did you ever play any of these games??

These days, computer and video games have taken over in the game playing department, and we don't get the board games out much anymore. Mainly only when camping or in power blackouts!
But they are always fun, and a good laugh.

This was a great trip down memory lane. Thanks Lisa!
