Game night with my kids usually involved playing this.

My son would be a Warrior if Chaos, my daughter the Prophetess and I’d be Knight a great game.

I never trusted that Mrs. White.

Never played that. Looks interesting.

One of our favorites. My daughter often wins by being really bold. Or she crashes and burns. No in between.

Clue and then Pacheesi. Jenga  after that each of us won one.

My daughter pulled out chess in me last week. We can be snooty, but we can also do doughnut hole checkers. :)

Darned autocorrect kept changing “Jenga”. Didn’t notice until after you said that.

Pacheesi eh? I’ve heard the name but I guess I’ve never seen the board. Looks interesting. Weirdly I love Clue, mostly because of the movie, but we aren’t allowed to play it in my house because the boyfriend and his friends are computer/ data scientists and make it... unfun. I do have the “Masterpiece Edition” board, which is epic. Hard to get a good picture of though...

Sounds like a great night - though I’ve never heard of Jenna.

Why does “Dad” look like “Dud”?

:)

We quit playing Clue with my wife. She ALWAYS wins.

We used to play Risk, but my wife finally won and now refuses to play.

My daughter has been getti ng more and more complicated games. The latest is Pandemic. It’s a cooperative game we have yet to beat.

I tried to get everyone interested in X-Wing miniatures, but nobody bit. I think they are gathering dust in the closet.

I don't have kids, playing with in laws

The girls grabbed Pacheesi one day. I’d never played before two years ago.

I found the classic Clue at Sam’s recently and grabbed it. I prefer that  one from my childhood with Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, and all the gang. So I had to get it. They’ve modernized it two or three times since then.

Jenga. Phone kept autocorrupting it. I fixed it.

You missed this today.

Probably because I am?

That Pandemic looks interesting. I used to play Risk a lot as a kid. Not so much anymore.

I picked up this original classic Clue when I saw it because I’m just not feeling the modernized versions they sell these days.

My college roommate actually created a complicated board game with moving walls. I wish I’d made a copy. It was cool.

That works. As long as no one cheats with the dice rolls.  ;)

Glad you told me. I spent the whole day out.

We just finished a game of Monopoly! My kids figured out that capitalism basically only works for the people that get ahead first, and now they’re turning into Marxists. Oops. Maybe switching to  Settlers of

Catan or Pandemic will stop the leftist revolution brewing in my living room....

We loosen the rules on Pandemic, otherwise we all die every time. Fun game, and has a limit on how long it runs (unlike those marathon Monopoly games!) Bonus geography lessons, but don’t tell the kids they’re learning something....

How do you starve a university trustafarian wearing a Che Guevara shirt? Hide his dad’s credit card under the shampoo.

I wish we had a copy of the original Clue. We gave our daughter a copy of the “modern” version and were quite confused the first time we tried to play it.

My cousin developed a game. It’s a lot of fun and well reviewed, but it hasn’t really taken off like everyone hoped. It’s on sale at the distributor’s site. Pick it up while it’s cheap!
