Board Games and Life




Do you remember when life was simple, eand every day has full of playful potential--completely free of responsibility? I spent countless hours of my childhood playing these (and other) boardgames. I especially liked Mouse Trap. The actual game wasn't fun, but watching the chain reaction was almost as good as the Fourth of July. Just looking at these pictures takes me back to my childhood.

This isn't a very ingenious post, but it does serve a distinct purpose.

I'd like to take this opportunity to challenge a certain young lady to a game of Jenga. You know who you are, and you are gonna drop like the crystal ball at New Years.
Yeah, I said it; what?

Well, you're going to drop like the pile of Jenga blocks that you'll knock over when YOU LOSE! Eat that.

I love board games...I miss board games. I can't ever find people to play with me! I loved Candyland when I was little. I love balderdash and clue a lot now. I think I always got mad when people beat me when i was little...i was the bad sport, bratty child.

My fondest memories of a family are playing Life and Monopoly. Board games are great-they get everyone together and involved. The introduction of computer games has ruined the popularity of board games, and that's a shame.

I currently have quite a serious addiction to Scrabble. My husband and I are crazy about it. I can understand your Jenga addiction.
