Have a favorite board game?
Comments (35)Left-Right-Center: a dice game that can be played with the chips that come with it or for money. Simple for all ages but still fun. Cheap to buy, easy to store because it is very small. Loaded Question: Player 1 asks question, everyone writes their answer, Player 2 reads answers so that P1 can't match answer to handwriting. We always play by just randomly picking cards & questions, we've never used the board and official rules. Some questions are fun, some seem fun until you realize you have to decide who each answer matches. For instance: if you could change any part of your body what would you change. Fun, until you realize someone wrote nose job. Now YOU have to say I think so&so said nose job. Well so&so might think why would you think I want a nose job? One of the silliest ones was a group of neighbor ladies. The question was what to do you wear to feel sexy. Lots of typical usual answers but someone wrote "white tube socks". Those type of answers is what makes it fun. And those type of questions can be skipped in a mixed age group....See MoreFun board games?
Comments (22)Another vote for Apples to Apples....we play it often...and do a lot of laughing. I have the regular game and my daughter has the junior game of it...they both play about the same. Pictionary Man is a lot of fun too... We have Friday night family game night quite often. patti...See MoreWhat are some of your favorite games? (board, card, etc.) :)
Comments (38)I love games....I picked up a game once on clearance at Marshalls. It was called Times To Remember. It's a trivia game with questions ranging from the 1950s to mid-90s. I thought it was very clever and have never seen another trivia game quite like it. (my description below) So if you're over 40, you'll love this game. You can play with two people or two teams. I forget the actual rules...but we play like this: You both have a big round disc with years marked. Then you have these big paperclips with 'year spans'. Questions are asked to BOTH teams at the same time and you must guess the year (with year span clips 1 thru 7). Be sure to whisper and point...you don't want your opponents to hear you. If you know a question 100%, then use your ONE YEAR clip. If you have no clue, use your 7 YEAR CLIP. First team to get rid of all their clips wins. It's currently on Ebay...if you're a game queen like me....get it. Just about everyone that plays it, thinks it's fun. Younger people tend to have a tougher time with it. But what makes it fun...is you don't have to be a genius! You might just 'kinda know' or have an 'inkling' or you remember what grade you were in when it happened....so it's a lot of fun. The questions range from super easy...to 'how in the heck would I know'!...See MoreFun Board & Card Games for 2+
Comments (27)Many good ideas-- thank you all. I think we are covered for my trip but also still looking for gifts so please feel free to keep sharing. Hopefully others get ideas from this thread also. Mtn, the candle is beautiful-- the whole site is! I think I need a lamp shade lol! Annie, a number of my family members enjoy the coloring books and jigsaw puzzles-- but I am not in that camp. I need to find some fun whimsy puzzles for mom-- the ones where the puzzle shapes reflect or are related to the image. I will get a Sherlock Files and an Exit (escape room) game for niece and her DH. They love them! Not sure about what I will pick up for others. I did get a Harry Pottery scrabble game for the Hogwarts obsessed 8 yo. I think it is a good age for him to start playing and his parents are scrabble players. What I loved about this game is that it has a card twist-- I thought it looked fun, a few examples ... I hope you can read them. Thank you all! So many great ideas here for 2 and for groups of all ages!...See Morebpath
