And that gingerbread house is amazing!<br />Our family loves playing games and the ones that we played over and over again this past holiday were Lords of Waterdeep, Pandemic, Code Names and the oldie-but-goody Game of Life. Lords of Waterdeep requires a bit of strategy - never thought I would enjoy playing it but it's addicting! Pandemic is interesting because it's a cooperative game. Code Names is perfect for anyone who loves word association games.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03939582498994800841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-45249336646802167632018-01-11T08:19:35.872-05:002018-01-11T08:19:35.872-05:00The card game Rook (which you can buy in the toy s...The card game Rook (which you can buy in the toy section of most stores) is very similar to Euchre.Cathy Akers-Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614155858703731761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-78336409578995385312018-01-11T00:46:13.279-05:002018-01-11T00:46:13.279-05:00One of tonight's games was Scattegories.

Growing up...Oh, I love board games and card games. Growing up it was Clue and Monopoly, and then there was the Barbie board game at one point. Playing the Old Maids card game was always tricky in my family because my older sister was positively livid if she got the Old Maid. Hahaha! And, for most of my childhood my father didn't allow us to play board games with dice on Sunday. He mellowed later on, and it wasn't anything traumatic for me. I just thought he was a bit dotty. Other childhood games I enjoyed were Mousetrap (anyone remember that one) and Life. I loved Life. Oh, and I can't forget Chinese Checkers. My brother and I were just three years apart, and our sisters were older, so when my brother and I had to accompany our parents to visit our aunt and uncle (which seemed often), there was only one thing at her house for us to do, while the adults talked about who all was sick and dying (hahaha), and that was to play our aunt's Chinese Checker game. Of course, I should have included plain old checkers in my childhood games, too. <br /><br />Since I got married, 41 years ago, the family game has been Aggravation. My mother-in-law is the Aggravation Master, as she and my FIL (deceased) played it for years with another couple. It can get intense, and there was a period we all had to take a break from it. I'm not sure my sister-in-law's husband will ever play again. But, we do have great fun with it, and some years ago I bought my daughter and my son each an Aggravation set from the old days, just like my MIL's original set. I got them off of eBay when they were each around $20. Now, they are out of sight in their cost. My parents played Rook when they were a young couple, before I came along, but they didn't pass playing it down to my siblings and me. However, I do have a deck of old Rook cards of theirs. <br /><br />With our kids, it was Aggravation, Clue, Monopoly, Yatzee, Candyland and card games (Old Maid, Fish, Rummy, Crazy Eights, etc.). There were the ones that came out while they were growing up, too. Hungry Hungry Hippo, Pretty Pretty Princess (wonder why they had to repeat that adjective?), Apples to Apples, and a Berenstein Bears game called something like Spooky Tree (I still have it). My son, when he was in his twenties introduced us to some of the more complicated games, like Small World. And, when the kids were in high school, they and their friends loved a game that I had bought that you played on the television. I can't remember the name, but something like Mystery Mansion. <br /><br />With the grandgirls, our latest card game we love is called Wig Out. So much fun. They are being raised on Aggravation, too. The eight-year-old has left me in the dust to play chess. She competes in it for her school. Apples to Apples is still popular though.
