Candyland

Go To The Head Of The Class

 

[tileman]

Mouse trap & Monopoly.

Ron.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Sorry

Monopoly

I really liked Life as a teen, and Sorry when I was younger.

But my hands down favourite is still Trivial Pursuit, although that came out when I was 20 so doesn't really qualify for your question.

Fun question C.Ann.

Monopoly and Stock Market. And I still play both.

 

[Meriweather]

Monopoly by far.
Also liked Life. Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders when younger/

 

[RunningGirl]

I loved board games!! I liked Payday, Life, Careers, Camp Grenada (has anyone else ever even heard of this?), and Clue. There was also one we had where you did a bunch of miniature carnival games.

Once they came along, Trivial Pursuit and Pictionary.

We liked Sorry, Life, and Kerplunk. I loved monopoly (and still do). Our entire family used to play on Thanksgiving afternoon.

Camp Grenada was based on the song by Allen Sherman, right? My cousin had that! Hello Mudda, Hello Fawda... He also had Lie Detector.

I mostly remember playing Chutes and Ladders, and Mystery Date at my friend's house. All we owned was Monopoly and a rip-off of Yahtzee called Kismet.

Yep, that's it. And I always wanted Mystery Date!

Mystery Date

Will he be a dream? .... or a dud?

 

[JessicaR]

Poppin Hoppies and Kerplunk were my favorites when I was little. As I got older I liked, Twister, Aggravation, Gnip Gnop, Stay Alive and Tip It.

I wish I could get some of these again! Thanks for making me think of them.

 

[scrapquitler]

Payday, Sorry and the Pop-o-matic games like Headache and Trouble.

 

[Lorix2]

Parcheesi was my fave and I'd play until 2AM with my girlfriends who were sleeping over at my house every weekend. Good times.
