Boardgames

[luvs]

i wanna get a boardgame fer me & jake & guests. apples to apples is an excellent game, what else would you recommend?

 

[quicksilver]

I would love to know too.
I haven't played since I was a kid, except when Janga?,
first came out. But that's not a board game, either.​

One of our favorites is Cranium. We also like the various Taboo, Jokers and Pegs (or Pegs and Jokers), Pictionary, Trivia Pursuit (board version, don't care for the DVD version), Scene It (both the board and the DVD version). There's one that I can't remember the name but it's not a board game but rather an electronic version of Hot Potato meets Password. I'll have to look that up. But these are just some of the few we like.

scattagories is fun, so is trivial pursuit and musical catch phrase. Ahh, Pictionary is FUN!!!

 

[plumies]

I like scattagories but DH isn't too hot on it. We also like Catch Phrase!

i made my grandchildren learn to play aggravation as soon as they could count. now i am getting a new crew of great grandchildren to train. lol

we have had a lot of fun with it over the years. grudge matches, etc.

have played many old time ones , but enjoy this one the most.

Taboo and Scattagories are great

I'm still a Monopoly fan.... I can't help it!!!

 

[GotGarlic]

We have a game called Tripoley - it's rummy, hearts and poker, all in one. We don't play much, as DH is not a game-player, but I remember it being fun.

I vote for Trivial Pursuit, the Original version. Play in teams!

thanks, guys! always a great crew of people. thanks. it's between scattergories, monopoly, & pegs & jokers. open to more suggestions!

 

[love2"Q"]

trivial pursuit ... but the DW hates it ...

 

[Maverick2272]

Shoots and Ladders? Candyland? Oh wait.. that's the kids.
Scene It, Scatagories, and still love Monopoly. We have a new one called Camp that has four levels of questions per card so everyone can play and it teaches you all kinds of things about wildlife and the environment.

pegs & jokers would be my choice. We use to play it with friends while camping.

 

[buckytom]

gotta go with a classic: backgammon.

yahtzee or monopoly are also fun.

our other fave, not necessarily a board game, is jenga.

My family likes Boggle (and Big Boggle) as well as Upwards (a variation on Scrabble).
