Growing up, what was your favorite board game?

For me it's a toss up between Monopoly and Risk.

    Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo and Pictionary.

    Though I did love Hungry Hungry Hippos..... and Kerplunk....and Taboo. Hell, I just love board games.

    I still love Trivial Pursuit.

    I get a real thrill when I can beat my own mother at Scrabble. We usually make it into the 300 score.

    Full House and Payday :happy:
  • Monopoly, and Sorry! - they were the only ones we had, though.
    I always played Hungry Hungry Hippos when I went to my friend's house and we loved it!

    Payday--a great game where you got to do "fun" things like pay bills, save money, invest, and get paychecks.

    The runner-up would definitely be The Game Of Life where you get a car straight away, then get to choose an education and/or career path, and build up a nice little family as you cruise through "life".

    Third place would be Monopoly.

    My dad always got them secondhand from flea markets and there were always pieces missing. Bad experience. Hate board games...:cry:
