Any fond memories of playing board games as a kid?

The funnest one I remember playing was probably Mouse Trap. I have a Voltron board game that is pretty sweet too. I also still have Fireball Island.....all pieces intact (my 4 year old loves it). I'd post pics but I'm freaking lazy.

Fess up, post pics if you want. Let's see the awesomeness!

    Candyland and Chutes and Ladders when I was a little kid
    Monopoly and Life when I was a tween.
    Now with my own kids...Apples to Apples, Horseopoly, and Sponge Bob Cranium.

    My mom used to make us play Scrabble several nights a week after supper during our summer break. I hated it because I wanted to be outside with my friends. But now I love it and other word games. I can also see how it played an important part in teaching my brother and I to become better spellers. I also enjoyed Monopoly and Yahtzee! And since you only asked about board games I won't even mention all the card games and non-board games I loved to play! :wink:

    It doesn't have to be just board games. Feel free to list whatever you want!

    Clue was pretty fun, but I could never wait long enough before I blurted out my theory, so I lost a lot!

    My family is trivia freaks so we have played Trivia Pursuit since I was a kid, my mom usually wins. Spoons could get dangerous with my friends though. We broke my friend's sisters arm playing it. We were playing on a coffee table and on of the guys (6'2' 200lbs of muscle football player) fell on her arm.

    Funny, I just learned what Spoons was yesterday. My coworker was telling me about playing it over the weekend. What a coinkydink!

    No, no. It was Mrs White in the kitchen with the knife?

    I LOVE board games - almost all of them. Never got the hang of backgammon, though, which is too bad b/c it looks like fun. Anyway, my favorites are Clue (ever notice how it's only about 4 steps from the billard room to the library and a million steps from the kitchen to the dining room???), Scrabble, oh...just pick one & I'll play it with ya. Card games are fun, too.

    Diplomacy.

    Used to get together with a bunch of buddies and drink many beers and try to wipe each other off the map.

    AH! YES!

    I was hoping someone else here played REAL board games as an adult.
    My bf and I have over 100 games. I swear. I think he still keeps up with an account on BoardGameGeek.com, too. haha

    I really wish we had more friends who would come over and play with us, but theyre more interested in bars
