Of all, I like monkeys best

Monkeys are very cute, playful and quiet smart. Most people don't have them as pets because they like to play and throw and finger paint with pooh. The monkeys I liked the best when younger were a barrel of them - and they were first created by lakeside toys. You can read about them if you like, right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_of_Monkeys This past time kept me occupied on many a rainy day when I couldn't be playing outside. My question to you is what old game - not just Milton Bradley (did you know Oiuja is classified as family entertainment) - but any older version game you remember playing in your childhood. Yahtzee, boggle, pictionary - maybe just a game of pretend - perhaps one involving monkeys or elephants or giraffes - or maybe you used to pretend to have a pet dog or cat?

I love the Barrel of Monkeys! My fiance has a couple of barrels from when he was younger, and he had a spare "barrel" piece that I use as my pencil holder at work. :) The games I remember from when I was younger were Candy Land, and later Scattergories. My family also had an obsession with Dominoes for a while; we played it at just about every family get-together. :)

I remember those games - I remember really liking CandyLand for some reason. I love monkeys anyone - despite being bitten by one as a toddler - according to my sister, one of her friends had one as a pet and it bit me and I dreamed of monkeys in my closet that night! I'm starting to like games again. I like the ones like mylot.
