Judy Ev's discussion made me think. I like board games, but I don't really have anyone here to play with. I could play with roomie..but I don't like to lose to him. I could beat him at Trvial Pursuit I guess..but anyway, we don't always get along that well. I played Scrabble when my sis and brother in law were here a few years ago. Maybe when my son comes down we will pay Jenga. By and large I don't play board games though..but I loved them when I was a kid. I played dozens.

I played a few times on my sons Playstation but I am sure when you play with an AI as well they cheat

@FayeHazel I love it, surely my favorite board game. I do not like Chess a lot, too brainy.

There are a few board games that I do like to play, but I'll admit that I don't play them very often. I don't always have the time to play them, or anyone to really play them with.

@snowy22315 We did have it once. My girls definitely did enjoy playing it for a while. Maybe I'll take it out again and see what happens.

I love board games, too! Even though it's a kid's game, I love "Clue"

Yes, that was one of the ones I used to play, Clue, The Game of Life, Monopoly and others. Hands Down is a game I used to play, when I was younger that was a lot of fun.

Not very often nowadays, I do like scrabble when I have someone here who has enough English to play with, otherwise it is cards and Dominoes

No, not the board game anymore. I rather play online with other players. I have ever tried playing Monopoly online, and Scrabble Online, and I always lost! Never even win a single time.

Board games are great to play on rainy days! I have a closet full of games that I'll pull down when it's dreary outside, and the family and I will play for hours. Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly are favorite of mine.

When my son was little, sometimes we would play board games. Today he has to spend more time on study and I also have to study more time to earn more. We hardly play board games anymore.

They seem to be having a resurgence in popularity but you do need a partner. Thanks for the mention.
