Do you find board games are just for kids or do you still play them to ? Do you play them with your kids ? What board games do you have and like ?

We still play monopoly the UK version, I never get tired of that game and I have played it from a child right through to an adult! It's a great game for whatever age you are, and some board games can be enjoyed both playing as a child and as an adult. Monopoly is great because you can get so involved with it and it does take hours to play but it's entertainment especially for the family or if you have friends coming over, a few drinks and nibbles and a games evening. We also play scrabble from time to time but monopoly is the most favourite and more played out of all the board games in our family.

I don't play board games and I didn't when I was a kid. I am not much into playing games cause I would just rather hang out with friends and talk then play a game but I think they are for everyone to play and not just kids cause it shows adults on the box playing them to.

I would definitely play board games quite regularly if I had any! My favourite uised to be Trivial Pursuit and there was another game I used to play as a child called the Game of Life. They can be a lot of fun and enjoyed by all ages.

Yes I still play board games although not as much as I did when I was younger . I do believe that even as adults we can still enjoy a board game as much as when we were younger :) The children have many board games but don't seem to be into them as much as I was when I was a child , now that everything is more computerized they would rather play on the wii or the computer then sit down and play a board game .

I do still play board games. I like monopoly and will play with my younger brothers and sisters when they want to play a game. I don't think that board games are just for kids because everyone can have fun as a family playign them.

I still play board games when I can talk someone else into playing with me. I don't have kids, but my mom and siblings and I will sometimes play games. I grew up playing board games all the time. I personally like trivia games like Trivial Pursuit. I also have a game I got for Christmas called 'Buzzword' and it's quite fun. I absolutely love Scattegories. It's probably my favorite game. I still play the classic kid games when babysitting, like candyland, aggrevation and sorry.

Well, my kids aren't old enough to play board games yet. But my hubby & I still like to play them. We get together with family or with friends of ours & play Risk, Monopoly, or these other really neat board games my brother has. They're from makers like Rio Grande Games, Mayfair Games, etc. They're really fun, and a lot different from other board games. Some of my favorites are called Age of Empires, Puerto Rico, and Caylus. You can go to www.fairplaygames.com to learn more abotu them.
