Of the five games in the picture; I use to play four of them when I was a kid back in the 70's, Checkers, Chinese Checkers and Chess are the three I remember the name for. The forth one I can not remember the name for. It is the one with the plus sign on it. I do not remember playing the fifth game in the picture. If you are wondering; the picture is taken in a restaurant. That is a restaurant table under the games. I took this picture. It is mine.

From the right : I am not sure what game that is but it looks familiar. I don't think I've played it. Chinese Checkers is what we played (which is the star looking board), checkers is another game. I never did play much chess, and when I did I made my own rules up. I can't tell what's in the corner on the left wall.

I recognize Chess, Checkers and Chinese Checkers, but I am not sure about the other two. My brother and I used to play Chinese Checkers. I haven't played it for years, but I used to enjoy it.

@Scrapper88 Yes it seems to make the family close to do this. Families need more of that today.

The other one looks like Pacheesi. I don't know the one next to the Chinese checkers on the left though.

Parcheesi looks like it would be fun to play. I don't know anybody who has this game.
