I loved scrabble, we played a lot of cribbage when I was young, we still love it.  My family also had a game that was kind of like Life, but a little more for grown ups than kids.  You collected little plastic hearts through the game.  I loved it cause of the hearts.  I also liked upwords and ad-lib (kinda like scrabble).  It was always great when we would beat my folks, they are tough competition

When I was really young, my favorite games were Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, and Operation. A little later, but still amazingly fun was Risk and the Settlers of Catan.

Answer 10

Upwords (a more sophisticated version of Scrabble)

Lots of holiday memories associated with that game.

Answer 11

Thanks for bringing back memories, guys. I'd forgotten about those games, and I played most of those. The only one that is still around my place is scrabble, and I bet I could take any one of you. Maybe.

When I was young, most of the time we were playing outside. Anyone else play night games in the neighborhood?

Answer 12

Chess was my game.  I was on a mission to beat my uncle.

When I was a wee girl it was a game called Cootie.

Answer 13

connect 4

Answer 14

My favorite board game as a kid was Parchesi, probably because we had that one and didn't have much else.  We did have checkers, but Parchesi seemed to be more fun.  The favorite overall was a deck of cards.  With it we could play crazy 8's, go fish, old maid, a game we called "120's", solitaire or "patience", hearts, gin rummy, do numerous card tricks, etc.  As kids we got hours of fun and entertainment from a deck of cards.

Answer 15

Battleship. I got it for my 12th BD and had it for years. Movers lost it. :*( NOW, I didn't even know they amde it anymore like that and my nephews got them for Christmas. Can't wait to play!

Answer 16

Hungry Hungry Hippos

Answer 17

Candy Land!  My mom used to stack the deck so I'd always win.  She didn't tell this to me until recently.  Completely shattered my gaming self-esteem.
