Games

[Anat]

Do you still play games, other than computer games that is. We play risk and monopoly with friends when we get the time - about once every couple of months. We play bridge and hearts with my future in-laws and that's about it.

Not as often as we used too. We do still play cards once in a while. Rummy, poker, euchre, spades. Couple others I can't think of right off the bat. Board games we've not played for a long, long time.

We used to play a game called Parchesi a lot. I like playing Uno, only we modified it to make it a speed game.

I forgot about that battleship game where you face each other and put the little pins in the board. We used to play that one a lot.

Has anyone else ever heard of Parchesi? I don't even remember if that is how you spell it.

A lot of my friends play bridge or hearts, but I don't know how.

Our family is big on any games. We get together with my in-laws and my family to play any and everything. We have just about every board and card game there is.

Song Burst we play with my sister-in-law and her husband. You have to actually sing and it is hilarious. I am so bad at knowing what the real lyrics are to begin with much less trying to remember them. We have the 50's -60's and 70's - 80's versions. I haven't seen the 90's yet.

We love pictionary, balderdash, mexican train dominos, for groups.

For just my husband and I we play dominos, uno, boggle, yatzee, and cards.

We make up new games all the time with cards, boggle and domino's. Thats alot of fun.

Oh gosh, this is really gonna date me.. but does anyone remember a game called Caroms or Karums? It was a big board with little green net pockets in the corners. There were bunches of green and red plastic circle things and you used your finger to flick a white one at your own colors to knock them in the nets. Kind of like billiards. Anyone?

How about chinese checkers? Twister?
ok, I'm going to go hide now.

My grandparents and I used to play all sorts of games. YAhtzee, Parchesi, Sorry, Chines Checkers, Connect Four, Uno, Rummy cube. I know there were more but I can't htink of them all. I used to love Twister: Left foot green, right hand yellow!!!! Ahhh!! I think I'm gonna get one for the kids for Christmas!!

we have Monopoly, Life, Jenga, Outrageous Journalists, Ad Mania, Scattegories and Richard Petty's Nascar Trivia...We play the trivia game most.

Hubby likes to play his playstation more than any game though.

Oh Blinc, I do know the game you are talking about!!! Gosh I hadn't thought of that in years!!! My grandma used to play that with me when I was young, if it is the same game I am thinking of, I remember the green nets in the corners, and the little plastic green and red rings!!! She always beat me!! Thanks for the blast from the past!!!Funny the things we forget, makes we wonder what else I have forgotten. She also had a chinese checkers game she played with me, with marbels. Wow. Forgot about that too! Of course all my grandparents are gone now, but I love remembering things like that! Thanks!

The other day my stepdaughter and her boyfriend came home with a board game they bought in Des Moines, and it was the game of "LIFE" I was amazed, i didn't know they still made that one! I remember playing that one when I was a kid!! And does anyone remember Pitch?

[Moe]

My family and I play Monopoly sometimes. We also have Life and Uno.

[Debby]

oops....Just read my last post I made on here, and I meant does anyone remember Pit....not pitch...

My husband and I just bought the Millenium Edition of Trivial Persuit, which we have fun playing. We play Monopoly and Jeopardy onthe 'puter.

When we visit our friends (Mertzes and Ricardos nite haha) we play cards - Spades and another game I don't know if anyone else has heard of - '*sshole' it's fun. Kind of an offshoot of Spades, but turned into a drinking game. Anyone else ever heard of that game?

Debby you're the first person I've met who knows what the heck that game was! Yes, the little green nets in the corners!! And I remember playing chinese checkers with the marbles in the star shaped board. That was a fun game! Haven't seen it around in years though.. wonder if they still make it? Didn't your fingers get sore playin Karums? My fingers used to throb with pain, but couldn't stop playing it! Those were fun games. Simple, but still fun. I don't remember Pit right off, although the name is sounding familiar... did it have a jungle scene on the box?

Military Mom, I love the trivia pursuit games. We haven't tried the Millenium one yet, does it have good questions? I love monopoly, but can't get the hubby to play. I womp him!

I don't tend to play board games very much - however, the rellies insist on giving me a few more billion every Christmas, and if I've got friends down for a sleepover we tend to play them as there's not much to do in this town.

[Debby]

I can't remember what scene was on the Pit box, but I remember the cards had pictures of wheat or something on them.
