Along the lines of the other thread here..did you have favorite board games when you were youn ger? Do you still play them now..I mean real board games, not computer versions.

I liked Monopoly, Scrabble and Life. When I was a kid there were games we played called Mystery Date and Mouse Trap as well.

My favourite were Yahtzee, Frustration and The Enchanted Forest. Shame kids don't seem to play them so much nowadays.

No my son does have board games but I don't know many friends kids who do. They play Playstations, etc.

I love Scrabble too and it's good for kids to help them with spelling. My son wants the Junior Scrabble. Gotta get him that.

Pass the Pigs sounds cute.

The name reminds me of Hungry Hippos, my little brothers and sisters had that one.

Hungry Hippos is fun!!

Pass the pigs is alot of fun, one of our favorites, two little pigs with dots on them, you throw them like dice, depending on how they land is how you obtain points...Very simple but fun game. Good for math skills for the kids.

Pig Pile is another fun one...card/board game with pig cards...alot of fun similar to uno...but different:)
