Board Games

Tis the season to refresh...what's new?

Bought connecct 4, kerplunk and operation for my boys. They are 2 and 4. My wife has bought The Chase for her nephew as he is a fan of the show.

Not board games as such, but we enjoy Munchkin, Yahtzee and Carcassonne.

Cluedo and Game of Life get an airing now and then.

Not Monopoly though. Monopoly can 'do one'.

Erm...just bought Monopoly.
And
Trivial Pursuit Family edition.
Haven't played that for years. It will be interesting to see how the kids find it.

My eight year old loves Monopoly although we haven't actually finished a game as there aren't enough hours in a weekend. We start off with a few properties each, allocated at random from a shuffled pack, to make it more interesting and quicker. We always fight over Park Lane and Mayfair.
We also have a Blockbusters board game from 1989

Cluedo and Monopoly make an appearance most years. I have just bought Carcassonne for this year.

I love monopoly got it on the wii which does mean you can stop and return to it later if it goes on too long.

My family love rummikub. It's a good game to get you thinking.

This is the one for me:

Always fancied world domination.

It's a good job Hitler didn't play this game.

"Risk" Now that's a blast from the past. I've got the game up in the attic somewhere, alongside "Battle ship". Hav'nt seen em for yonks.

 

[Boab]

Pandemic is good fun and a bit different

 

[antdad]

I was looking at Articulate...anybody like that?

 

[Ewan E]

We enjoy playing Mah Jong, Backgammon - does anyone know of any similar games ?

 

[mattlad]

Don't mention chess. I was never a brilliant player, also very rusty, a couple of Christmas's ago I taught my nephew to play and he promptly took me to pieces.........

 

[joe mcclaine]

Risk led me to Warhammer 40k and about £3,500 later I gave my head a wobble and sold the lot on ebay.

Mah Jong, now you're talking. Uncle of mine was stationed in Hong Kong for his National Service (RAF) and has a set worth more than my house.
