I think our monopoly board folds into quarters. Everything is made so cheaply. The kids however don't really seem to notice the difference.<BR/><BR/>For some reason that I haven't analyzed we're not big gamers. It may have to do with what sore loosers the kids can be...and that can take the fun out of it! We play chess with Nick, and he plays with his brothers. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder. Playing a board game might be more fun now that the kids are older.Melissaand3boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965516656354593717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-55694571842916274922009-01-08T14:03:00.000-08:002009-01-08T14:03:00.000-08:00Bonanza!!

We loved Monopoly, although we were all so competitive that the board got upturned a couple of times by a sore loser. We also had The Game of Life and we never did figure out how to win or lose it. <BR/><BR/>Rick and I love games, too, but hardly find anyone these days who wants to play along, so we play the ones that are good for two, mostly Scrabble and a few card games, mostly Cribbage. I have started collecting games on my iPod touch, my current favorites being Scrabble, Monopoly, and Hearts. I would love to play Bridge on the iPod, but for some reason there are no Bridge applications for it, and that is puzzling.<BR/><BR/>Rick's mom and dad loved Bridge and other games, and always at Christmas, Rick's mom would bust out a party game for the whole family to play, to the delight of some and horror of others.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-20950643741767275612009-01-08T09:13:00.000-08:002009-01-08T09:13:00.000-08:00Me, I'm not much of a gamer.

However, I did grow up playing endless games of Sorry! and Clue, and I also played a mean game of Hearts by the time I was 9, thanks to rainy afternoons spent at the Wells College Boathouse.<BR/><BR/>If forced to play games today, I like games that you can play while still drinking and being social, you know, games in which you <I>don't</I> have to strategize (how the hell do you spell this word?!?) too much, like Apples to Apples, or Taboo, or the like.Me, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-86548459566531800062009-01-08T08:46:00.000-08:002009-01-08T08:46:00.000-08:00You do have a good game stash!

Mike got me Booby Trap on Ebay for Christmas a while back, it's no longer available on the shelves. But, our game as of late has been Carcassonne.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06434151165867029916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-39872620172996163902009-01-08T06:59:00.000-08:002009-01-08T06:59:00.000-08:00Dang!

And playing backgammon on Christmas in your driveway (<I>Dang!</I>). And cribbage. <BR/><BR/>Mistah is anti-game, the bastard. Although sometimes I can get him to play Trivial Pursuit with me, when we're camping, if I do <I>everything</I> except answer his questions. And, of course, Pass the Pigs, which you guys so generously donated to the Westy's gameroom. <I>Before</I> Moki was around to eat the piggies and poop them out.<BR/><BR/>Blech.<BR/><BR/>EllieMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-4813343221793515392009-01-08T06:49:00.000-08:002009-01-08T06:49:00.000-08:00Oh, you have Operation!

I definitely like the old-school version.<BR/><BR/>My favorite games as a kid were Husker Du and Aggravation. Ahh.
