BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Board Games What is your All-time favorite board game?

Hi, and welcome to Board Games! I am your new Editor and want to know what your all-time favorite board games are. This will help me two-fold. First, it will allow me to get to know you better, and second, it will help me to decide which games to concentrate on while building my site.

For me to pick a favorite board game is a hard thing to do. I love Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Chess, and Scrabble. To pick one would be almost impossible, but would probably be Monopoly. I learned it at about the age of eight. My Dad taught me to play. I also have great memories of playing it with friends in High School. So from a fond memory aspect it would be Monopoly, hands down. For laughs and fun times it would have to be Trivial Pursuit, which we seldom, if ever actually play by the rules, but hey, it's a game, it's for fun, and should never be taken too seriously when simply playing with friends. Our hints to the other players come out something like a cross between Charades and an early SNL skit.

I love Pictionary! It is so much fun especially when played with a large group! Some people really can not draw!!!

Masterpiece

TRIVIA!!!

I am also a HUGE fan of the cranium games, both grown-up and kid.

It's a toss up between Clue and Trivial Pursuit (Genus Edition).

For quiet nights at home, I prefer word games (Scrabble, Boggle, Scattergories, etc.) I also like to play these games in foreign languages for practice any time I get the chance (although it is better when you have that language's modified letter set; French has lots of X's, for example, so it's not as hard of a letter to play off). For parties and large groups of friends, I like the new style of variety games, like Cranium, as well as the predecessors to that sort of game, like Pictionary, Taboo, Balderdash, etc. I'm also always up for a cutthroat game of cards (different forum, I know), I like Spades and Poker the best. With very young kids (2-3 y.o.), I like to make games out of the Melissa and Doug magnetic bug and fish puzzles (your turn, now my turn, etc.). With slightly older kids, (4-5 y.o.) I like concentration and go-fish, as well as games like Hi-Ho Cherry-O and Operation. Once kids are in school and learning to read and have developed fine motor skills, I like to play modified versions of adult games with them (Scrabble, Boggle, Monopoly, Checkers, Othello, Pictionary, etc).

I have 4 favorite board games.I love Sorry,Boggle,Clue & Monoploy.
