I love board games. Specially those classical ones: monopoly, life, candyland, chuttes and laders, clue and clue fx, connect four, scrabble, operation, aggravation. There is another game that I loved and used to play with my father. I think it was from the 50's b/c the directions are geared to women (not players) and it's all about parking your car and moving your piece to each shop and buying a product there. It's fun plus it taught me logical thinking. It's called "park and shop", however I think it can be a challenge to find it. How about you?

I used to love board games as a kid and my parents would always get them for us for Christmas. Monopoly took forever but there were five of us kids so we always had enough to play. I really liked Sorry! too, because it was fun and because it gave you an opportunity to send the other guy back home. My favorite though has always been Scrabble. We used to play that late into the evenings. It was a family tradition that when my sister came home to visit, my mother and my sister and I would all play Scrabble all night. Oh, and Trivial Pursuit, that was fun until we had heard just about all the questions, lol.

I also enjoy the older board games and card games. My faves are monopoly, uno, the game of life, all childrens board games {I have two sons}. I also have this game called in a pickle. Its a cool game. You pick a word from the cards in your hand and the other person has to make a chain with a bigger word like: house, town, city, world, universe. Once theres no bigger words you get the chain. Its a fun game to play.

I like Scrabble and Cluedo best of all the board games. I'm not too keen on Monopoly... it gets a bit boring after a while, and I'm not too up on how to play Chess, so that's out. lol. Brightest Blessings.

I like to play backgammon and monopoly. I'm not good at chess. lol I also enjoy uno. I like the easy kind of card games that my kids teach me. I don't know how to play bridge or poker though. I used to love to play pictionary, as a matter of fact we used to have family night where my sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles and even my parents would get together once a week and play pictionary. And everyone would bring snacks and stuff. I miss those days, it sure was fun!

I play board games when I was in school. After that there was no more board games until I was introduced to one called "Cash Flow". It was a rather interesting game with many players, sort of like monopoly but the morale of the game is to get out of the rat race. It was fun.

My favorite board game is "go". Go is a traditional Chinese board game and it really practises your mind. I like it a lot.

Yep, I'm a monopoly fan, and scrabble as well. Just a month ago, we bought my four and a half year old son 'Spongebob Monopoly', as he, as are the rest of us, big fans of spongebob also! We thought it might help to teach about money!

I enjoy a bunch of different board games including CLUE, PARCHESI, and LIFE but my all time favorite is MONOPOLY by far. I can remember being around 15 in the summer me and my best friend used to stay up all night playing our own version of the game- we used to basically say someone NEVER ran out of money- instead they just borrow from the bank- as in real life I came to find out later (wink). But still to this day I find myself playing MONOPOLY and PARCHESI online.

Scrabble is one of my favorite board games to play, although it all depends on who I am playing against. Some games are more fun with certain people than others. Monopoly or life are good family games too, although they do tend to take a long time to play.
