Well it is hard to say our favorite because of the ages they children all have their favorites Colton's is 3-d snakes and ladders, Clayton's is the Game of Life. Jessica's in the CD Pirates of the Carribean Game. Mine would probably be Clue. I am really good at that game and anyone who plays against will lose. Muhahahaa

The Pirates game is actually really fun once you get into it. At first I had to get used to the controller and where to go. It was a bit more expensive than so of the other games but for us it was worth it.

We have a ton of games in our house, a lot of them my girls have outgrown. We like to play Clue, Rummy-o, Dominoes and Mad Gab. Games like Scrabble and Boggle are just too easy for me. We will play them as a family but since I am a reader and a writer I always win those games. I keep telling them they don't want me to play but they insist. We got Mad Gab for Christmas last year and we have had a blast with that. It is such a fun game that makes us all laugh.

Me and my family enjoyed to board games. There are for Bingo and Pogo. And we are the rival to each other when active on these game boards. We try to topple each other for highest points or scores as the highest declare as the champion or winner.

Scrabble - A Scrabble Board Game.
I often play board games with my son and granddaughters. They love to play them. My favourites are Scrabble and Cluedo, but there's another where you're given a clue and have to write down on a piece of paper what you think the answer is. I can't remember what it's called, but it's good. I detest Monopoly most of all... it's so boring and drawn out. I guess if the money was real, I'd perhaps think differently but then I couldn't take it off my family and friends, anyway! lol. Brightest Blessings.

We are Monopoly addicts. In fact, when the boys were small, we got them the children's version and then when they got older, they played the adult game. We are a bunch of wheelers and dealers, dealing in real estate, making people go bankrupt, buying up whole neighborhoods, hording several railroads, and such acting like big time capitalists.

So far memory is the only game that my son likes to play. We have candy land, Chutes and Ladders, and a few other kid games but he just doesn't seem interested yet. My favorite board game is Monopoly. Sometimes my husband and I play it, but it's not as much fun with only two people.

Hi Hun! My daughter is only 16 months right now, and I'm sure we will get candy Land for her soon. We have Monopoly, Sorry, and Life right now. We need to get a bigger collection but as I said she's only 16 months right now so we have a lot of time lol.

I don't play board games, but my favorite has always been LIFE. I'm single, my family is lame and I don't have friends who would be interested so I don't really have the chance to play games much. I don't like card games. So i play life on the computer (i have a version on my computer I bought once) I'd love to have dvd games too. but whatevs. my favorite game is LIFE though. it's cool.

Well, my son hasn't gotten into board games yet. Soon, I hope. When I get together with my family (mom, sisters, etc) we usually play a few board games. My favorites to play with them are scrabble, trivial pursuit and hugger mugger. I can't wait to start playing candy land and games like that with my son.

Oh! I love pictionary. Pictionary is my all time favorite game! Unfortanatly no one ever wants to play it with me, family or friends! I rarely get to play...and the only times I do is when my dad forces my brother to play with us or my mom gives into my bothering her about it lol. You need at least 4 players, and I can always get three (me, my dad and my younger sis), but it's always hard to get that last person! It's a pain X.X

I still like to play Candy Land with my friends kids. Candy Land is such a classic game. Operation is still really fun too. I always liked Clue and Life and I wish I had both of them now. Monopoly is great. You can't beat a good board game.
