I love Monopoly too but it has been years since I last played it. I remember when I was young, we used to play scrabble and monopoly on a rainy day. Sometimes we play card games like Uno and rummy. But now, I hardly play anymore because there is no one to play with. To start with, we don't have any board games and playing cards at home. We usually watch dvds on a rainy day.

Well, i would definitely say Chess and Scrabble since those are the only board games we used to own back then. Checkers is also good. I agree with you, Monopoly is great game since you can play with money and have ideas for business in a fun way.

I love the game of "Life" and I love "Apples to Apples". I love the game of "Life" because it is a lot like real life. You can come out a successful person with a wife and two kids, or you can come out flat broke with a wife and eight kids. The possibilities are endless. "Apples to Apples" is more about finding out who the people you are playing with are like. You find out what kind of people they are, and you never take the game literally and seriously. There isn't really much competition, and there aren't really any winners or losers, just more of getting to know the people that you are with.

scrabble is our family past time. I kinda miss it. Most of us are busy so we no longer have much bonding time.

I like playing scrabble with friends. Having my mind thinking on as much words as possible, scrambling letters to form them without forgetting the points i get from it. Even forming weird words is fun. Chess is also good, while it rains there's a sort of competitive air around even friendly competition. Lol, I just like mind games.

Me and my big brother used to play chess during rainy days. He bet me 1buck and if I win I get 2bucks. We enjoy this bonding time with this game even I never win againts him. LOL

Oh I love board games. For me, the best games are the trivia games. Trivial pursuit is one of my favorites. But I also love Scrabble and Huggermugger. Word games are a lot of fun. There's nothing quite like sitting around the dining room table and playing board games with your family. We used to do it all the time when I was a kid. Not so much when we got a little older, then a few years ago we started playing board games together again. It's a lot of fun. Mostly we play Scrabble. Have you tried any of the card game versions of the classic board games? There's a Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and Monopoly as far as I know of.

I would also like to play monopoly. Since I do not have opponents to play monopoly, I chose to play mobile games. Mobile phone games that I played, among others, sudoku, Zuma or Tetris.

I love carom board.After caroms i prefer chess.I feel its get to pocket those colored coins especially as it involves a lot of skill in taking shots from difficult angles.These days its mainly in vacations that i get to enjoy these games.

i havent played monopoly game. but when i have met my bf, he introduced me board games like chess and scrabble. although, im familiar with scrabble and chess, i havent had the time to play it. and in chess, i do not know the moves of every chess piece. when playing scrabble your vocabulary words enhanced, and in chess, your logic in thinking become more complex. i love playing chess, i dont know the strategy of the game, but to know how the chess pieces move, it some kind of a pride in myself. we also bought dominoes, it a kinda tricky game. first and foremost, you should know the rules governing that game. you will enjoy it also playing with your family and with your special someone. you will have the quality time you needed. :)
