old board games

[lovemyshiba]

At work the other day, we started talking about games we used to play when we were younger. We have a little variety in age, so some of us hadn't heard of some of them.
One that was new to me was called "Pass the Pig"--there are actual little pigs that you roll (like dice) and your score depends on the way the pigs land!!! We were discussing games like Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Cooties, silly stuff like that.

Anyone remember any cool games from when you were younger???

Ohh!! CandyLand was my FAVORITE game ever! I used to play it a lot with my great-grandma when I was little.

[lovemyshiba]

Candyland was definitely one of my favorites.


Here's the pig game

Anyone remember "mouse trap"? It was a complicated game to set up, but I don't ever remember playing it, just setting the whole thing up....


or how about "operation?"

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Operation is fun, but I wasn't very good at it... How about... Twister? Not really a board game, but it's fun.

LOL. same with me

I don't remember the exact name of it but my brother and i used to always play like dynamic dominoes. It was very complicated to set up but we loved it. My parents hated it because of so many pieces.

I also forget the name of these bu the one with the marbles... The marbles are held up with little sticks and each played pulls a stick. The marbles fall sometimes and whoever ends up with less marbles wins.

Also, the game with the blocks. It starts with a 'J' i think. Where you sit up the blocks 3 by 3. Each played gets a turn taking one off. Whoever makes the tower fall, loses.

Jenga???

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

KerPlunk is the one with the marbles and Jenga is the blocks one.. both are fun, especially KerPlunk.

[Kfamr]

Yes, not exactly boards games though. They were so fun!

Have any of you played Penguin Shuffle? It's a cute game.

[lovemyshiba]

I don't think I ever played Ker-plunk

Twister, lol!!

Aly's foster pups know how to play that game:



lol

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

I usually stick with computer games.

OMG I LOVED Mouse Trap! I actually wish we still had it but my parents gave it to my younger cousins several years ago. It was sooooooooo cute!

I also enjoyed Guess Who, Life, Scrabble, Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, and others. I still play some of these games, but we've lost most of them. We still have Scrabble and Snakes and Ladders, and Life may be hidden in the garage somewhere.

LOL @ Aly's puppies! That DOES look like Twister! Twister was a silly game but great exercise!

My favorite games were, and still are, Life, Guess who, Clue and Jenga. We used to play that a lot when we were bored.

I hated Mouse Trap because it took so long to set up and then it never worked out properly. We gave up on it.

My cousin gave us a bunch of his old games. One was the Mad Magazine Board Game. I loved that one too. Lol

[RubyMutt]

Oh... I LOVED Hungry Hungry Hippos!! That was by far my favorite childhood game

[kingrattus]

I loved & still do play checkers, monopoly & monopoly jr., backgamon. I use to play care bears, mouse trap, hungry hungry hippos, twister,it from the pit, lizards, & god knows what else we had.

But backgammon is my altime fav, I play it online all the time.
