Haven't played Snakes and Ladders in like... FOREVER!!! I'm kinda craving it now...

And Ludo is really simple to learn, one of the first games I played in my life =] I can't really explain it but its a simple kind of "make it to the end" game

Ahahah, me too. xD

I played a game of Chutes & Ladders on my first date. XD

Ok now I REALLY WANNA PLAY XDD

Is there like a online multiplayer version of that epic game?

All require registration, of course.

http://www.bigmoneyarcade.com/index....ame&gameid=792 this one is nice, you even get to move the piece on your own.

Parcheezi used to be one of my favourites, until I figured out Sorry. Haven't played either in eons though, and I always had the most horrible luck with Snakes and Ladders (I've seen some in tins still called Chutes and Ladders but Snakes is most common where I am).

My copy of MouseTrap never worked properly. Took it back. I still remember some of the theme song along with that for Grape Escape. My favourite game -and the one I'm sure mom most hated- when I was really young was Hungy Hungry Hippos. What wasn't to love about that game? Put marbles in the middle, smash game as fast as you can. Great fun for kids!

I personally have mastered a variation of Risk made by my family called Riskaan. It can be played using any board with clearly marked borders and here's how it works:
-Setting up the game, each person gets 5 units which may be placed on any space on the board. One unit is to be placed at a time and players place units in a sequential clockwise order. (the blank spaces left will be explained later.
-on each turn, players receive troops the same way units are received in Risk (3 spaces per unit received) and players include the bonus from continents.
-there is a occupy phase in which adjacent and empty spaces may be occupied by troops.
-there is a attack phase which occurs only after the occupy phase and works in basic Risk principle (which may be varied for the convenience of all of the players before the game begins)
-there is a reinforcement phase after the attack phase which works like the original reinforcement phase in Risk except that territories may be completely evacuated of troops. This movement is called "unoccupying" and only can occur during the reinforcement phase.
-Players would also have to note that "unoccupied" spaces cannot be attacked and can only be occupied during their occupy phase.

So yeah, it's a different game.

Sounds like an interesting variation Funkduder, I kind of want to save this and try it one day, though it sounds like it would be a LOT of fun with 6 people rather than the 2 it would likely be here D:

Chutes/Snakes and ladders... I was always so unlucky on that game. Either that or so lucky the game was over in 10 minutes >>

I once tried to play it by myself just to see how many rolls it would take me to get to the top. I think I took around 90 at one point, and most of that was because I kept landing on the snake that took you from square 29 to square 2, and missed pretty much all the ladders.

I love my Monopoly games! I am addicted to winning at it every time I play with the family. The other games I like are bingo and Rummy. Just don't play those two much with the monopoly addiction I have.

I remember I tried to get my family to play Monopoly once a week or so. It didn't always work but I did enjoy playing it. We also had something called.. Star Quest, I think, that was in a way similar to Monopoly but in space. I really enjoyed that one too. Ahhhh memories ^^

My stepfamily is big on Trivial Pursuit and we play that quite often with friends. We all have categories that we're good at. When I play with them we have the regular game and the 90's version. I have both the Star Wars and Disney versions. The Disney one is surprisingly difficult, even the kids questions. Seriously, "What is the name of the smallest mushroom in Fantasia?" Nobody talks in that movie!

You know how you mentioned the game of Life..? ;) it was made into a video game back on the PSX~

That makes me want to find it just because xD

@Quiet, Trivial Pursuit is crazy. I'm good at remembering little odd facts and the like but the questions are always REALLY obscure, I'm sure I remember something like "How many buttons were on this guy's shirt in..."

lol

Heh. The weirdest question we had was someting to do with the name of a tractor magazine.

I'm usually okay at the literature and oddball stuff, my sister is the entertainment queen, my brother does sports, and my dad is the history buff. Having a degree of some kind does tend to help because of the random knowledge one gains, as well as watching a lot of TV :D.

I love a lot of different board games.

Chinese checkers is one of my favorites.

I also love the Game of Life and own the Extreme version, Monopoly and I own the Electronic edition, and many others.
I even have a Pokemon board game that came out when the first season was released. It is so cute and fun to play still.
I own Sorry, though I have never really played it much. I own Aggravation, a fun older game I got at a Good Will store. I have a Disney version of Trivial Pursuit. I have Adventures in Neopia, a Neopets board game. I have Candyland for my girls.

There are many games I would still love to play.

Candyland is always popular it seems, even though it's among the most basic games in the universe. I used to love playing it and it drove my older stepsister nuts.

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

Yeah, it is super easy, made for younger kids to play.

I have never seen someone play Candyland in my life @___@ Falls in the same place with video games xDDDD

Game of Life was def my fav.. I always ended up the richest xP Also.. I liked playing Mastermind... I enjoyed thinking

I found out about two board games that I really want. The Game Oh No... Zombies, and the Hobbit Board Game, both available on the ThinkGeek website.

Oh No... Zombies sounds like it would be awfully fun xD

http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...links/orbs.png

Those both sound like lots of fun. Apples to Apples is a fun game too.
I just need to save up more money for more board games.

Twister was fun but insulting when your obese. Now a days I play kinky Twister which is the same rules apply but with no clothes BD

Everyone takes a shower recently beforehand :D

Kinky Twister sounds fun xD I don't know anyone nearby who'd be willing to play that way though :P

I'm not sure if I've played The Hobbit or not. I have the Lord of the Rings which I quite like since it's a cooperative board game though most of the important moves happen in the last three turns or so.

Tales of the Arabian Nights is great fun. It's like the choose your own adventure books but it's a board game. Each move you are given an encounter that you must choose your raction to, which can be affected by skills you have and such. It's great fun because the apprently "safe" choices arent't always safe. For example, you see a rich man and can either snub him, praise him, ignore him, ask for money, give money, etc. If you snub him you may insult him or make him curious, and if you praise him he may like you or think you are just a groveler.

In a couple more rediculous encounters, my brother went exploring and found a gem. A creature came out of said gem and attacked him and he wound up in a cave somwhow. Bandits came into the case and attacked him. Then he called for help and a passing monster heard him and beat him up some more. That was the result of him being curious about a gem.

In my case another player controlled my choice for that turn or I was feeling silly, not sure which, and I punched the beggar I met. The story went that the beggar was a barber who gave me a bad hair cut and wouldn't stop talking to me until I hit him. He kept talking to me, I ran out of the store, he followed me, we got to talking and turns out he was smart and had a rich friend. Impressed with my skills be invited me over to meet said influental friend and I was showered with riches. Yeah. For punching a beggar or man of modest means. Can't really remember.

The story telling book is the size of a small text with charts that randomize the stories so they'res lost of replay value. Even if we've hit a passage we've heard before they have often had different endings. Great fun, but be prepared to spend 3 or 4 hours playing. It's a long game.

lol, I actually bought the cd rom for it years ago, shortly after having the board game. But it won't run on this operating system for sure xD

Monopoly is the best. xD
I actually love board games. Everybody else I know hates them, I don't get it. Oh well. I like just about any kind of game.

I loved board games as a kid.
o u o

I liked Connect Four, Guess Who, Life, and Trivial Pursuit the most.

I used to love board games as well, but I don't really have the time for that anymore...

I used to like playing Pay Day, Monopoly and some random tridomino thingie, and I had that mouse trap game as well that was fun when it wasn't broken xDD

Hmmm, I wonder, do Cosplay Chess count as a board game? xD If so, then I play it every year lol.

Like.. Pokemon Chess?

Uhhhh, no, more like real life chess, where cosplayers are the pieces on a giant chessboard and if a player makes you 'knock down' another piece you have to go fight the other cosplayer ^^

Something like this:

I've seen a cosplay chess match once. It was quite a lot of fun :3 I wouldn't be able to participate in it but I do love watching it.

My favorite was Life lol (and it's the only one I can really remember) but I remember another one called Trouble or Don't Get In Trouble and it was fun. I also liked Monopoly too, though it takes FOREVER to finish that game sometimes.

I like board games. But nobody will play them with me. I love monopoly and cluedo. Cluedo was always my favourite.

I find it interesting that most of the games mentioned are the ones I would stil say are fairly popular. We don't have many of those around though since their haven't been that many kids around. Most of the games my brother has are for teens and up.

My niece lately has been big into Chutes and Ladders. My mom adn I were going through a box of old games and she seemed to find it all fascinating, especially since she knew several of the games from computer versions. She was quite enthusiastic about their real life versions ;).

I like playing the game of life. I think its funny how I always get the most kids. XD

I don't play board games...they require other people and a lot more space to store one of them.

People rarely come over. So no point in having them.

And I have no cards .-. Except Magic the Gathering .-.

I have board games but never played them because barely anyone comes over to my place as well as my games have to have more than 2 people over
