I love playing Snakes & Ladders, Dama, Chinese checkers & Monopoly

Back in the 1980s? Car Wars.

Nifty little game where you drive around in armored vehicles armed with rocket launchers, machine guns, mine droppers, and that sort of thing. Set 50 years in the future, sort of a cross between Mad Max and The Running Man.

The real fun (if you didn't mind math) was designing your own vehicles, and trying to balance speed and acceleration versus space considerations, firepower, hit points and maneuverability. And don't forget arena combat.

Lots of cardboard counters and dice needed. But it was a blast (pun!) And I'd even designed a weapon, sent it in to Steve Jackson games, and they published it, sent me a check for $5 and a game book.

Uno for me, I used to spend hours with my family playing that. I also used to play Chinese chess a lot, and the occasional game of BattleShip.

Now I'm into bridge and Big Deuce (Chinese Poker). Card fanatic.

my favorite non-video games are:

chess, backgammon, fficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=de&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=661&sei=tsjDTvLBAYOp4gTOzP3EDQ#um=1&hl=de&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:de%3Aofficial&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=abalone+spiel&ampbx=1&oq=abalone+spiel&aq=f&aqi=g1g-S7&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=2258l11228l0l11970l6l5l0l1l1l0l3767l10336l9-3l4l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=49e201693b6891d3&biw=1280&bih=661">abalone (i liked to play it but sadly i have it not), monopoly and talisman (an adventure game).

For the moment it's Chuck the Sheep by John. Isn't this thread supposed to be in the Flash Game-section?

I like Uno or Monoply either one is a good game in my opinoin

Dungeons and Dragons (RPG 3.5 version, not the "stupid" society game).

That's my fav because you can do all what you think or at least try =P
An other nice point of this game is it never ends

Probably monopoly for me.It's so addicting.

Rung is my fav non video game

I would say that it is the card game presidents made-up by my friend at a summer camp.

Chess, clue, stratego, monopoly, etc.

I would have to say monopoly or chess. Risk is pretty fun too.

Ok, this game is kinda old but still extremely fun. It's called settlers of catan. They have it as an app on the app store if anybody knows it from there. Its kind of complex so it's hard to explain. Anybody else play it?

Monopoly. Just to make someone else bankrupt and take their money.

They are called board games, Television has erased your memory. I'm a big fan of:
Monopoly
Battleship
Connect 4
Chutes and Ladders
I also like to play tea party with my dolls on tuesday.
