¿Question #4114?
shotokanguy: Did you often play games when you were a kid? If so, what games did you play?

ocdspectrum: Mostly Dungeons and Dragons. Board games: Tactic II, Blood Royale, Axis and Allies, Shogun.
Woelf: Not enough; mass-market stuff like Monopoly, Aggravation, Scrabble, etc.
Felimid: Yes. Monopoly, Waterworks, Mousetrap, Pay Day, Careers, Marco Polo (pool game), billiards, Pig, spin-the-bottle, etc.
Bl4ckcontact: Yes. Phase ten, uno, monopoly.
kathleenryan: No. My mom had a pile of chores so that I was always busy. When I did sit down to play a game with a friend, she would interup us about every 10 minutes. A real nag. Consequently my daughter and I invented our own game, play it together, and I have never once interupted her while she has friends over and they are playing video games or whatever. I believe it is more important for children to have fun time to just hang with their friends, than to be saddled with stupid "busywork" chores.
