When you were bored as a kid, what was your go-to board game?

Sorry, not a board game, but the amount of hours my siblings and I played Clean and Dirty was ridiculous. 6 decks and no mercy

I can tell young people I had many lives. In some I was even a lawyer or doctor. Up to four kids.

Do you remember the ad from the earlier (60s?) version where the girl sadly announces "I got sent to the POOR HOUSE =( "?

The updates to the game are interesting

We had the usual assortment. Clue, Monopoly, Life, etc. I can't recall favoring any particular one over the others.

Sorry and Uno or other card games were tops, no one would play Monopoly cause it took too long, lol.

Cards- solitaire if I was alone, cribbage with 2 or 3, spades or hearts with 4 or more.

I don't know the name but it had image boards you placed and you had to match 2 pics that had an asso iation with prongs thingys. If it was correct, the light bulb lit.

My go-to wasn’t a board game but rather LEGOs!

Games I'd play against myself included Sorry and Yahtzee. Sorry was also a top choice when having someone else to play it with.

As a little kid, it was Sorry. As an older kid (and adult) it's Talisman (although there were a few years where Axis and Allies held sway).

Today? Nuclear War and Catan are the biggest hits.

Loved that game, but finding working batteries was always an issue.

Oh yeah! My dad had tons of rechargeable ones. I wish I still had that game! I guess it has become a holy grail item.

We never played the game, just set it up to play with.

Candyland, and Chutes and Ladders. We had Mousetrap, but never played the game, just played with the contraption. Also, checkers with grandpa.

Um... I had this Honey Bee Tree game... that you could build a tree with. and it had plastic bees. It was really relaxing. It would calm me down after my drunken parents raged out at me and locked me in my room.

Even to this day, when I see bees, I just kinda feel calm.
