What were your favorite boardgames?

[Mr.Marion]

For me it was Sorry!
I've heard multiple times that the Battlestar Galactica game was really fun, is there another sleeper gem that most people didn't own.

[EmergencyIan]

‘Sorry!’ for me, as well.

I liked the game ‘Trouble’ a lot, but I don’t guess it counts as a board game. Another board game I always thought was fun is ‘Life.’ As a late teen and young adult my friends got me into ‘Axis and Allies.’ That was fun.

I preferred Parcheesi to Sorry. I liked the wooden pieces better than the plastic ones and the small dice and dice cups that Parcheesi had.

I had a lot of board games as a kid-Monopoly, Pay Day, Life, Clue (which was a particular favorite), Family Feud, Hangman, Fat Albert, Star Wars: Escape from the Death Star, Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, and more.

When I got to jr. high, I got two of my particular favorites-Dungeon (a board game version of D&D) and Dark Tower.





around that time I also got Crossbows and Catapults...



which combined board gam-like play with the way I used to play with army men.

I loved the original SW board games, especially "Escape From Death Star", plus Survive, Risk, Stratego, Clue, Dark Tower, and a lot of others.





I also played Hero Quest a few times at a friend's house, and thought that was a great game.

[MRP]

I think I had that BSG game, but I can't remember if it was mine or cousins.

One I wanted but never got...



something I still keep an eye out for whenever I am at a toy show.

D'oh, how could I have forgotten Stratego and Risk, played those all the time.

Chess.

But my fave modern era geek ones...I grew up and played Monolopy a lot, as family members were crazy about that one. I also loved Battleship and Stratego. Dark Tower too.

I never got into Dungeons and Dragons...loved the miniatures though...

[enyawd72]

Survive, Mystery Mansion, Ghosts!, Spy vs. Spy

[Mikey]

Chess.

...

I love Chess, but i'm a moron at playing it.

My 4 year old niece could beat me at it even if I try

[Werewolf]

TSR Dungeon
Superstition
Whodunit
Bermuda Triangle

[Brown Bear]

Happy Days boardgame was my favorite. Wish I still had it.

Close second is Six Million Dollar Man, which I still own and still play with my kids on a regular basis. We actually played it last night.

[Mikey]

I always wanted Mouse Trap but never got it or played it.

The commercials made it look super fun

[Falstaff13]

I loved classics like chess (more so than checkers, and I always wanted to learn backgammon). Of the "famous" ones, my sister and I (along with a neighbor) used to play marathon games of Monopoly. When younger, we loved Candy Land, and I've always like Sorry. My all time favorite is probably Trivial Pursuit.

But in terms of a vintage type game, I think my favorite is Monster Mansion, which involved navigating a haunted house and collecting treasure tokens while avoiding tokens that had the Universal Monsters on them.

[Spawn67]

MAD Magazine board game...still play it with my niece.
Battleship
Hungry Hungry Hippos
