gosh... I just LOVE board games! i pretty much love playing board games anytime, anywhere, anyhow.
monopoli money via jjjohn's photostream board games & fun memories so often go hand-in-hand for me! memories of playing one of my early faves, the game sorry, with my grandma in florida , seemingly for hours and hours each time we visited it. we both loved that game!
of sleepover 80’s board games over the years with pjs and pops and chips and payday & life until the wee hours of the night!
of trying to learn all the tricks with my dad and uncle on Friday nights as a child playing cribbage.
of crokinole, one of my other faves, at our wedding reception (that’s how much we love games!) and on summery nights @ home.
fortunately, little rikrak loves board games just as much as mr. rikrak and I do. we have lots of after dinner board game parties @ our home. these days it’s uno or blokus or cribbage for the 3 of us!
……………………..
and so I asked around to see what other cyberly folksloved in the way of board games… here are the results:
from 64 comments between my etsy thread here and on twitter, and the top 4 faves were: scrabble with 14 faves trivial pursuit with 7 faves monopoly with 6 faves and clue with 5 faves numerous games received 2 or 3 votes. interestingly, monopoly was both a fave, and the most popular NON fave (folks chimed in that any game except monopoly would be great!) ........................ here are some etsyans and their faves:
thanks for your votes, everyone! ..................... |

i like risk (if it's with the right people)- not the newer version though- we found the original version from the 70s at a junk sale in montana!!! the game can last forever, but it can be pretty fun!
ReplyDeletealso balderdash and scattegories and other silly word games are so funny!
Oh, I can't believe I forgot scrabble! Add that to my list with Trivial Pursuit and Clue.
ReplyDeleteI must admit we banned monopoly with the kids - until we discovered junior monopoly. Games can last for DAYS and always ended in tears!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Monopoly is certainly a NON fave here @ our home. But we LOVE Blokus (not many people seem to know it! Glad you like it, RR!)
ReplyDeleteAnd my other favorite would be Clue!
I LOVE backgammon, although I never can seem to beat my sister at it! HA! I also love card games like Gin & 21. I agree, a games night is a great way to spend an evening!
ReplyDeletegame playing is in my blood.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, my husband shares this love for games with my family (strangely, not with his own). We are always searching for new people to play with, as we live in a different province from my family...and he will only take so many "second places" at Scrabble.
what a fun post! i've always loved board games too! and so did my dad growing up! my mom would occasionally join us, but even still today when my dad comes to visit, we love to just sit and relax, play a game of checkers, or chess, or cards!
ReplyDeletesettlers of catan!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that game and all its expansion packs!
Thanks for your note:)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that I love monopoly, but really have to be in the mood for it...
I'll trade my sheep for your wheat. Siedler's fan here!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I put a link to you at Cribbaholics Unanimous. :o)
