rico Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 In seriousness fellas my Dad taught me to play chess, backgammon, and acey-deucey at a young age as well as cribbage and pinochle. Chess is the only one I still play to this day. My immediate family was big into Monopoly, Risk, Clue, Yahtzee, and Scrabble. Funny thing is euchre. It was like farming, fishing, and hunting. I just grew up playing it. That card game is a must to be in my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Rook is the big card game in my extended family. Daughter is only one in immediate family that likes it. Son and Wife won't play, so I have to wait until large extended family gatherings to get it in. When I was in high school and college, I was an expert at Hearts. Played it all the time, multiple times a month. Actually think I went 9-10 months at one point without losing. I was that good. Have not played it in years. No one in the family plays it and the crew that I used to play with have all drifted their own ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I had an electric football game. Frustrated the hell out of me. Never could get those suckers to move right. Half the time they just bounced up and down in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid, my bedroom was upstairs and had hardwood flooring. I used to crank the electricity to it's highest level and leave the house.

Reacher Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 I liked Clue as a kid but haven't played it since. My favorite with my kids was Stratego. My son would probably say Risk. At family gathering as a child we would play Royal Rummy for pennies. Hearts was another family favorite. I currently play Words with Friends with my son and have been doing so regularly for over a year. Its a nice way to keep in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never done one completely before now we do them on a regular basis. Does that mean we are getting old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to go party so I took over for him! Nobody hardly believed it when I ended up with the win! I have a Risk addiction. I really enjoy that game. Tribond is another a fun board game for a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
