Board Games

Do you like to play them? What is your favorite? Least favorite?

I like to play. Nobody around here ever wants to play them with me.

So I'm pretty much limited to camping & trips to visit family out of town. That's when I end up playing.

I LOVE Cranium the most right now (for those of you that haven't played, it's a combo between charades/performing, trivia, word games/puzzles & drawing/sculpting.) Hilarity ensues every time.

Other faves: Monopoly, Scrabble, Outburst, Taboo, Jenga (yeah yeah, not really a board game, bite me.)

I don't really like Clue or Life that much, but if someone offers, I will play out of sheer desperation. The worst board games I have ever played were The Simpsons & Friends trivia games. They were very dumb, so we just read the questions out loud & guessed without bothering to set up the board & play.

Clue, Trouble, and Monopoly are my favorites. I'm not big on board games, I like cards. My favorite is Skip-Bo. I could play that all day long.

I LOVE board games and no one here will play either LOL.

Monopoly and clue are my favorites.

I like Monopoly, but it takes too long to set up and to play. I prefer Trouble or Chess.

It should come as no surprise that I'm too stupid to play chess.

Mark tried to teach me once. It didn't work out.

I really like backgammon! Some of my math buds introduced me to it in grad school, and whenever we got tired of studying or wracking our brains trying to write proofs for homework, we would play in the office as a diversion. We could play for hours, and we kept a long-term score sheet too. I don't get as many opportunities to play anymore, even though I now have a really nice board of my own!

I like Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit.

I hate Pictionary - I have no artistic tendencies at all!

Never tried chess, but would like to learn.

I like Skip-Bo, too! I think I started playing that after I got bored with Uno as a kid.

i enjoy playing board games...well i did when i was younger...but i have found too sometimes people dont want to play...in fact with age (that was some primo stuff!) i tend to forget the rules.

games of favorable past are scrabble, monop, checks, chinese checks, chess...

ok does anyone remember the dating game?

(wine edit: not the tv show)

Does anyone else out there play backgammon? I'm the only one so far!
