    What Were Your Favorite Board Games as a Kid?

    Seeing Toys2Cool's other thread about finding a bunch of old games made me nostalgic for some of the games I played as a kid. Some I still have, others long gone. What were Your favorites? I've posted some of mine here in no particular order:

    Shenanigans http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3...enanigans-game

    Which Witch http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1613/which-witch

    Tank Battle http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2598/tank-battle

    Homestretch http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9730/homestretch

    Battlestar Galactica http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2...star-galactica

    Space: 1999 http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7559/space-1999

    Star Trek http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/27371/star-trek-game

    Yogi Bear http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5104/yogi-bear-game

    Cross Over the Bridge http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9...ver-the-bridge

    Plus lots more I am sure. I always seemed to get a board game or more on a birthday. Yogi , Cross Over, Star Trek and Homestretch I definitely remember getting as gifts.
    It's all good!

    One of my favorites as a kid was Dungeon!. Even though I still own my original I was really happy to see that wotc remade the game this year. I just picked it up and its a fantastic replica. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.a...dacc/dungeonbg

                If you want to see where your bunny lands next take ten hops and watch the Skeezicks look vexed. I LOVED Uncle Wiggily.
                Hang On Harvey isn't really a board game, but it was my other favorite.

                  Fitting the time of year, one we loved as a family was _Monster Mansion_, which featured a variety of tokens (you had to collect treasure chests), along with several with the images of Universal monsters.

                        Man....That is a bummer. I am sort of glad they re released Dungeon! but they didn]t. They CHANGED it entirely! I much prefer the old way.
