.....today I'm off to spend the day with my brother and sister-in-law. We're supposed to play Monopoly but DH wants me to just sit there and watch tv b/c board games with them is just too stressful! (They are very competitive and intense and do a lot of shouting and rabble-rousing.)

Let's hope I survive an afternoon of board games with the family!

When was the last time you played a board game.

Good luck Rachel

I played Scrabble Junior with the kids yesterday! We play boardgames all the time here

I hope you have a stress-free day Rachel!!!!

We played Monopoly with the entire family at Christmas. When the boys were younger - we played games all of the time.

Good luck Rachel - I hope that day is not too stressfull for you!

We love board games. We played Cranium the other night, and Jalen had to be on both our teams b/c it's a 4 player or more game. It actually turned out all right.

I like Scrabble. Grace likes Monopoly. Rachel likes card games.

I don't remember the last board game but last Saturday I won at Jenga.

You may be surprised, but as a college graduate living with 2 same-age guys, we have a HUGE collection of "bored" games. In fact, we try to have game nights once a week or so where all our friends join us for complete and utter childishness.
Our favorites are the Trivial Pursuit Pop-Culture DVD game and Clue. However, we absolutely cannot have Monopoly in the house, because the game usually ends with one or all of us kicking the board over and throwing houses and hotels at each other in rage. There's just something about that game that inspires homicidal tendencies in people.

I have an 11 yr old so we play every now & then. We have several Disney games.

Rachel!

I couldn't tell you the last time I played a board game, so let's just say, "it's been a while".

[Bert & Sully]

Board games are big in our house during hurricane season. Scrabble mostly.

[Cam22]

We played over Christmas with Luke's family but we all just are in it for the fun.

[Teresa]

We play all of the time. And, we always stress that winning is NOT important, how you comport yourself is (stems from a neighbor family long ago that let their kids win all the time, and then when the kids played other people - like us - they would throw tantrums and cry) We just played Monopoly last week, Cranium Cadoo and Zoo something or other from the same company a couple of days ago, and Pirate Dice (Disney's POC version of that old dice game "BS") last night.

Good luck on the relaxing.

LOL... too funny, dude!

I think that's how my M&D felt about it, cuz they always set a 1 hour limit on it... I hated that!

I wish we played more... played TONS when my SIL's and BIL used to get together... but we've moved away, and it's just the 3 of us anymore.... waaaaa

I will NEVER play Monopoly with DH again. The last time we played was 15 years ago. I was winning. I refused to sell him any of my railroads. He would not stop asking. He was driving me nuts yelling that to make the game interesting, you have to sell things. I was winning, why did I need to sell anything??
