So what's everyone's favorite board/card game? We LOVE games! Some of my favorites are Settlers of Catan and expansions, Slamwich, Apples to Apples.

Rio Grande Games and Mayfair Games have some really neat ones. You can find them online or at specialty game shops.

    Love Apples to Apples! So fun - especially when you have a crazy bunch to play with!

    Also Cranium - my husband and I get really competetive! We usually win.

    When I was younger I loved this game called "Winning Ticket" you eaned money and bought lotto tickets and held drawings... it was fun :)

    We play Scramble with the Scrabble tiles too and that's fun. Love Yahtzee when hanging out and talking with the gals. My kids love Monopoly so I made a Monopoly board - chore edition - it works great too - no more complaining about who has to do what chores. Only problem it takes forever, but at least things get done eventually. :smile:

    Besides being a Chess nutcase. I really like Cranium and oh gosh... forgot its name.

    What is the game where one person pulls a card, reads a word, and everyone has to define a word. The person than reads the definitions and you get to move spaced depending on how many people picked your definitions... is it boulderdash?

    I think I was hoping back to the last thread with Boulder Dash! ~smiling~

    Balderdash...

    That and anything that you have to draw at... like pictionary or Cranium!

    Its always good to be a "sales person" at games like Balderdash! Its not really lying is it?

    If there is luck involved, its not nearly as much fun as when you lose that its your "own damn fault"

    Also: Taboo, Guess Who (with the grandkids) and Compatibility (anybody heard of it?....don't think they make it any more)
