Growing up, my sister and I played lots of board games. I just saw an ad for the Guess Who game a couple of days ago and remembered all of the games we used to play together. Nostalgia big time.
- Guess Who. You had to guess the person the other person is by asking yes/no questions before they guess who you are. It was a fun game, using logical elimination from the answers. I guess the grown up version could be making your own personalized version.
- Monopoly. One of my all time favorites. My parents got this when I had removed my tonsils, so I remember it and the ice cream I got to eat. This one is more fun as u grow older because you understand the strategy aspect of it better.
- Battleship. My sister and I would play this in the car on long trips.
- Scrabble. I am a word lover so natural Scrabble is another favorite. I even enjoy playing solitaire or online Scrabble.
- Operation. My dad was an orthopedic surgeon and we would nag him to play with us. My favorite on was the “funny bone”
- Connect Four. We played this for hours.
- Risk. I remember playing this one a whole summer before university, trying to conquer the world, thinking it really was our oyster.
