I purchased a board game from a charity shop the other day. It was 'Mouse Trap' as I remembered playing it as a kid. It used to be great fun and I thought I could play it with some of my younger family members who I am visiting over Christmas. It then occurred to me that perhaps board games are 'old fashioned'. Many games seem to have a digital equivalent now. Do people still play real board games or does everyone play online games?

@redurnet it used to take quite a lot of setting up between plays

I haven't played board games in a long time, but I would still like to play and I think it's a great activity during family gatherings.

I believe there are still children and families that enjoy good old-fashioned board games. I too remember Mouse Trap I think everyone will have great fun.

I loved mouse trap and played it lots when I was young and when my kids were younger. Have you seen the New Monopoly one, it just cards and not the Board Game, My oldest had it for Birthday at the beginning of the month, it's awesome as it only takes about 20-60 minutes per game to play. I know he was saying he's and friends at Uni have played it a lot since getting back there. It's kinda hard to explain how it works as it took me a few game to fully understand it.

We certainly still play board games, they will lose their appeal for family fun.

I haven't been much online these past few days, specially when I tend to sleep late.. Hope you have a good christmas. The only games that I played now are the ones in the Facebook.

My kids don't play them with me very often anymore but I have always loved playing them. Pay day, pizza party and monopoly Jr were always my favorites as a kid. I still have my monopoly jr game and my kids and I play it sometimes.

I love board games and I have a large collection. The only problem is no one is interested in playing with me
