I have a closet full of board games that we like to play. Clue, Sorry, Candy Land, Scrabble, and my favorite, Monopoly. We still like to sit down and play them as a family. It is not something we do all of the time, but we do still enjoy playing them.
I was wondering, with all of the available video games and systems, and the access to gamesa on-line, do you still play the traditional board games?

I love playing board games! I played them a lot with my family, as a child. And it's something I still enjoy doing. My fiancee and I sit down, when we have the time, to play some board games. One of my all time favorites is Yahtzee. I like Life, Scategories, Scrabble, and many many others! I can't wait to have children of my own and have game nights with them. I think game nights are a great idea.

The problem with video games is the limited number of players that can join in the games. Also, it can never really replace that feeling of closeness when one plays boardgames with family members and friends. At home, I thought my nieces and nephews to play video games but we still prefer to play boardgames - scrabble, chinese checker, chess and monopoly - or just to stroll out and play kids games on the park. I know that it is important for my nieces and nephews to know and get accustomed with modern gadgets/games but I there are other things that can't be thought through computers/videogames. With boardgames and other outdoor games, kids will learn more the value of teamwork and getting along with others.

My husband and I play scrabble almost every night. We just finished a game (he won) I'll get him next time :)
We often play games with our kids like monopoly, trivial pursuit, etc. and with the younger ones we play kerplunk. They love it.
When I was a teacher's aide in an elementary school, we used board games when teaching life skills to some learning disabled children. You can use it to teach patience, how to wait for your turn, not butting ahead and also for kids that have a hard time making friends, some times it is just good to let them join a game with a few others.

We play a lot of Uno. Actually, I should say that we play it in spurts. I wish we played board games more often. Last week we purchased "Battleship". I had this as a kid and my daughter mentioned that she loved that game so I ran out and got it. She is difficult to talk into playing games. She has a difficult time losing (she's 10 and I guess that's understandable). So I thought this game would be a good idea. We've all played it several times since. I think board games are a great bonding tool for families!

Well you might not believe this but I recently learn how to play Monopoly. Am an only child so my parents never saw the need to buy board games for me to play, so my husband has taken it upon himself to buy the game so we can play it together. I really like it's really fun I see why it's such a classic game and am I happy I learned how to play it.

Well yes, I do still play many board games. I have never got bored of board games, I love to play them with my family as it really helps in spending a good quality time with them. Anyways, I really think that most board games are timeless classics that can never be stopped playing. I love the board game Monopoly and play a lot of that game, however, I also play the board games like Scarbble which has actually helped me improve my vocabulary. Anyways I think it is much more intellectual to play board games than sitting on the computer and playing PC games like dumbos.
