I love board games. Especially at Christmas time with the family. Im particularly fond of Pictionary. My Dad and sister are crap at drawing whilst my Mum and me are the artists of the family. I used to have Monopoly competitions with my friend at university!

You?

eh, they're hit or miss with me. Some I love, some I'm not too keen on.

I loathe monopoly.

Why? Dont you agree with its capitalist demeanour?

JDInteractive said:

I hate it because it takes FOREVER. You can play for hours and hours and hours. I don't think I've ever actually finished a game. I've always just gotten bored and given up.

Even when you´re winning? Do you go for the dog? I love being the top hat.

Othello/Reversi master here.

Backgammon rules

Yes! Scrabble, Cranium, Trivial Pursuit...they can be a lot of fun with the right people.

Balderdash.

omg, I love balderdash!

Taboo is really fun too, but I'm not allowed to play it anymore as Darin and I played a lot a while back and we practically have the cards memorized.

We should force everyone to play Balderdash high at the Invasion.

Oooh, I love that game!
But to be honest, I don't remember how to play it, since it's been like 10 15 years since last played.

It's simple. You pretend you're America and try and rule the world.

I play the online version of it.

I love the different versions of Monopoly now. I saw a Candyland mini board game keychain in Target. I just had to get it. I haven't played it in years, and it just reminded me of childhood. I doubt I'll still enjoy all of those childhood board games. I remember having the hardest time setting up Mouse Trap.....only to have it work half of the time.

why not just say with "smart people"

Don't Break The Ice.

I love them!

Scrabble's my favorite...I like Monopoly even though it can be long. There are a couple others I really like but I'll play almost any of them unless it's like "Dora the Explorer Attacks" or something like that.

Crainium is so awesome!

I LOVE board games. Expecially Trivial Pursit!

Ouija is a great board game. All though to be honest, the daft threads about it that pop up here every few months are far more entertaining.
