Board games...I bet you can't remember the last time you played

What do I win if I remember? It was about a month ago and it was the game of Life, my son's favorite board game. We have others, but this one he absolutely loves and I am getting kind of sick of it and may check into a newer game for us to play. As if they ever become popular again? Maybe, if for some reason the TV and internet are not available, that is what I believe is replacing this pasttime activity and I am just as guilty and anyone else..

Hi Autumngold, Welcome to myLot :) I played chess with my son over Easter as he was given a board, had to remember which pieces went where etc but we had fun, he went round and played a neighbours hubby too and they were quite impressed. Prior to that I think it was Boggle at Christmas. Huggles. Ellie :D

When I was a kid, my parents didn't let my brother and me buy any board games other than Chess. I was introduced to Chess by my classmate in gradeschool, and my parents thought it was a good strategic game. I was only able to play other board games like Scrabble and Monopoly at school with other students. I wanted badly to have those games available at home because they were so fun! However, I only had one person, my brother, who would be available to play with me, because my family doesn't believe in "Family Game Night" or things like that. Playing games like Monopoly or Sorry with another person isn't as fun. Also, I've asked my brother a few times if he would ever play with me, if we got the games. He's always said "no". Now, I've met a friend who has Monopoly, Candy Land, and Checkers, and sometimes, if we really don't have anything else to do, we'll just sit down and play. I've once found Monopoly on the internet, and at that time, it was as if my life was completed. Lol, I know, but I really liked that game when I was younger. Now, I don't think I can find another free Monopoly game online that allows you to play with other humans, but I haven't checked recently.

I play boardgames from time to time, it's fun! The last one I played was Trivial Pursuit a couple of weeks ago.

We have so many board games it is a shame that we don't play them more. My favoite was Tabboo, my husband gives some of the funniest clues with that it makes everyone laugh, but he gets mad cause no one knows what is talking about. I just got some board games for my daughter I really need to teach her how to play. She has played the hungry hungry hippos already and liked that I think it is time for CANDY LAND!!! I used to beg my sister to play that with me all the time. I was my favorite game as a child. We really need to start playing board games and card games again now if I could just find the time and get the family together. Thanks for the idea.

I agree. I do enjoy playing scrabble online or different games online but I would much rather sit with my family and/or friends in person to play. I play a game about 3-4 months ago. Played Trivial Pursuit. Love that game. But yeah, wish people could spend more time together rather than sit infront of the computer all the time. $-MrDollars-$

The last time I played a board game was 2 weeks ago. Every week or every other week, my friends and I get together for a games night. We each bring some board games, have a couple of drinks and make a whole night out of it. It's always a lot of fun. Before we started doing games nights, I couldn't remember the last time I played a board game.

as a matter of fact i havent played board games in my life. used to play monopoly in my nes and then there was computers. but if you consider chess board games, then more than 8 years ago in a tournament.

I can still remember the last time I've played board games... It was my fourth year in high school. I played scrabble and I used to play Chinese checkers with my friends and classmates too...:)

My friends and I in college played all the time. We played Trouble and Sorry. But we also played long games like Risk, Tanhausier, and Zombies
