Toys from our youth

LOL....sort of an old school toy boy I suppose.  Scott would be proud!

FWIW, if they existed, I bought my son the same things I had growing up.  

He was a big fan of "Twister" when he got into HS!

Hopefully you taught him it was a game best played with girls!

So not necessarily a toy from youth but didn't want to start a new thread.

Played trivial pursuit last night with my wife.  It was her first time playing it. Surprisingly she liked it. 

I forgot how much I liked playing it. Random knowledge does come in handy sometimes.

I had actually forgotten about that board game.  Played a lot of it back in the day.

We have some battles on Pursuit, Scrabble....and every once in awhile when I'm getting beat consistently I go get Acquire just to make myself feel good for about 2 hours.

...and here I had you pegged as a "Gnip Gnop" guy.

Haha....not my cup of tea. Loved Stratego, Sorry....few others. 

Hell, I still got my "Stratego game"....My son and I usually play a game or two during the holidays.  Now, "Sorry" was THE game for me as a young lad.  As was "Trouble."

All really good one's for sure...Battleship as well. I look back and never could figure out why I didn't like Risk.
