When l was much much younger l loved playing board games with family members and friends. My favorite games in those days were Chinese Checkers, Snakes And Ladders and Dominoes.
Over the years so many more have come into play.Two which caught my interest - mostly because of the names - are : Cockroach Poker and Nuns On The Run.
Actually , Nuns on the run is the title of a 1990 movie as well.
Have you played any of those two games ? Which would be your favorite board games from back in the day?

I have never heard of either--Have you ever heard of nuns on the bus?

@Kandae11 it is! When I saw your title, it reminded me of them.

@Kandae11 That's for sure but not the kind of violent games that are played today on mobiles or laptops.

I never heard of those two newer games you mentioned. I loved the game Clue from when I was a child and continued to play it with my own kids. It's one of our favourites.
I didn't have a lot of games growing up, nor anyone to play them with. I remember getting two Kerplunks one Christmas. My dad would play rummy or crazy eights with me. My neighbour had a game called Masterpiece which we played a lot.
Since my kids were little I would have at least one new game under the tree every year. We had two cupboards filled with board games. We had to purge but we still have a lot of them (though very little time to get together to play). The girls and I like to play Ticket to Ride. With my husband we have played games like Inomia and a big party favourite is Apples to Apples.

I never heard of Nuns on the Run. I used to love board games when I was younger. One I used to really like which was kind of a combo of card game and board game was Hands Down. It was hilarious. Clue, Monopoly and the Game of Life were good too.

I remember those you mentioned first. There are lots more board games available now and some are really interesting. I play a lot of Ticket To Ride online but we also have the board game.
