So... What happened to Board Games?
 

Well... This forum is overloaded with games I don't play and don't plan on playing because I'm not into video games. Also, there's this whole stigma thing going on that video games are the only games allowed here.

BUT I'D LIKE TO CHALLENGE THAT!

With... Board Games.

What happened to Monopoly? The Game of Life? Pictionary? Charades?

There's so many board games, and family games.. They were here LONG before the electronic ones and the consoles and the systems.

What happened to a good game of drafts? or chess?

What about the card games? the hand games? the puzzle games? the tic-tac-toe or hangman?

WHAT ABOUT MAH RUBIK CUBE!?!?! D=

Does playing only these games make you not a "gamer"? I'd like to think not.....

-------------------------------------------------------

Discuss your favourite "classic" games here! Whether from your childhood or what you play now! =D

I personally -love- Pictionary. It's insanely fun for me and I love trying to get people to guess what I'm drawing within the time limit. It challenges my skills and makes for a few good laughs XDDD

I also liked beating people playing chess and drafts. xDD I remember when I was first taught how to play chess.... and then the second game, I came around and won. *sigh* good times. I forgot how to play now though.

I can't play Scrabble to save my life. Words are definitely -not- my strong point. I always lose... ALWAYS =[

Oh god... Rubik cubes. xDD; I hate HATE those things.

But board games aren't completely lost! My mom, sister and I have board game nights once a week. We'll do scene it, and uno, and trivial pursuit... we all suck at them, but its fun regardless. xD;

Rubik Cubes are awesome ;A; I can't solve one though >__>

We here do "family night" as well... not as often as we could tho. But when we do, we play Pictionary, Scrabble, Bingo, Ludo, and whatever else is lying around.

One of these days... I'll get them to play Girl Talk... or my Twister Moves. MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!

OH MY GOD. TWISTER. That was one of my FAVORITES when I was a kid.

Probably because I'm limber and flexible. xD; No one here would play that with me. ;3;

I have both Pokemon and Bunnings Monopoly :P

(Bunnings is a large harware store franchise over here that i used to work for)

<.< They have a Doctor Who monopoly board, I think. And a Scene-It, too.

I want both. SO very badly.

There a Pokemon Monopoly? O____o *runs to Google*

We have this ToyStory Monopoly... and a Cars one... both Kids versions. Which end WAY too quickly imo. *shrugs* I heard about the SceneIt one.. but I've never played that game.

AND YES TWISTER IS AWESOME!! Except if someone falls on you..... and that person is heavy. That's not so awesome

pokemon monopoly is expensive now

I've seen it at Big Lots, Duchess. <3 Only once though... and I never thought to grab it.

AND OMG YES. xDD; I've had that happen before. My entire body went -SMUSH!-

I nearly accidentally deleted Ashy's post .___.

And yeh... I see it for over $100 on Amazon. Crazy...

There's a Pokemon Sorry as well @______________@

Lmao, that would have been tragic!

i would have posted again :P

theres also pokemon master quest that was pretty awesome

I know there was a dice game, too. I don't remember exactly what it was for, and how to play it, but...

I think a trip to big lots is in order.

And yes, this is off topic, BUT PLEASE GET JUSTIN BIEBER OFF MY DAMN TV. ><
/moms watching the billboards, because I'm refusing her Doctor Who.

Hahahah XDDD Everyone seems to be talking about the Billboards =/

I haven't seen much Pokemon stuff around these here parts.... Just a lot of Monopoly, Guess Who's and Connect 4 xP

I miss playing Connect 4....and Jenga.......

is the tenth doctor on said billboard? cos id stare at it too >.>

I like Risk, though it takes forever and takes too long to set up/clean up xD Same with Settlers of Catan... I also have Dork Tower but I haven't gotten to play it in a while. The last board game I played was Life, Pirates of the Caribbean version, and that was pretty fun xD

Do card games count too? I like Apples to Apples and Munchkin, but again not enough people to play with xD
