JFF- What Is Your Favorite Game?

So addicted to Scrabble called (Words with Friends) on my smart phone. Soooooo fun.

BTW...Hope you are feeling better today :)

Drunk Pictionary
I loved The Game of Life, Operation, and Sorry growing up. I went through a Jenga and UNO phase. But drunk pictionary is a pereannial favorite.

Twister in the dark...don't ask.

I don't have just ONE game....

oooh UNO!! Love that!! keep a deck in my purse so that when I am out with the boys and we have to wait? Got it covered!!!

Parcheesi!!! FUN!!!

Scrabble!

My mom has this stone game - and I can't remember the name of it - a board that is the same size as a cribbage board (lots of fun too!!) and has "cups" to put the stones in. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This game!!! So do my boys! It's a thinking/strategy game!!

Backgammon

trivial pursuit

The boys love WAR, Poker (yep, startin' 'em early!), Torpedo Run, Battleship, Stratego, Sorry, Trouble....got a shelving unit filled with games!!

Yahtzee is my favorite! We also play/played Pig Mania, Skip Bo, Euchure (sp?), Rummy, Spades, Scategories (which can be hilarious w/kids)...
The list goes on. Our family was BIG game players growing up and we are the same way now.

My siblings and I love to play Balderdash!!
My kids will play yahtzee with me - I love it.

I host a girls game night once a month and recenlty found a new game that I LOVE. It's called Spontuneous. I bought it off of Amazon. The game says that it's for older kids, but it could easily be tailored to younger kiddos.

MIne are Yahtzee, canasta, jin and euchre

for my kids.. the quiet game!! Even if its only for 5 mins, those 5 mins can be golden!

I love all card games! My kids love Uno, and I love to play that with them. Texas Hold'em is a favorite of mine. I also love Scrabble, but I get frustrated because my husband usually wins, and I'm an English teacher. It just doesn't seem right. ;)

Oh, I just read through the answers, and they reminded me - Rummy is great, and I also LOVE Spades!

Tripoli, Apples to Apples, Monopoly and Pay Day!

I just learned Mancala...it is the game that Cheryl O. was referring to. I love strategy. My husband has played it his whole life and just taught the kids and I...

My daughter is actually getting really good she's beating us both all the time now. My son wins randomly because he isn't so worried about the strategy part he just trying to get the colors!

Uno and we used to play Taboo a lot.

As far as vidoe we love Little Big Planet and for my DS I'm obsessed with Quest Trio.

ETA: My daughter has also recently got into Rumicube...too many numbers for me. But it's helped her with math a little. Since we make her add them up.

Also Santa bought little man Uno Moo...and I'm so ready to play it! Looks like fun for my guy.

Mine is Monopoly or Sequence.

My daughters favorite game is "How many times can I get out of bed before I go to sleep, and how many excuses can I make for why I am out of bed."

I will say she is very good at this game. My favorite excuse right now is, "I got sompthink in my eye."

Apples to Apples, Uno, Rack-O, Flinch, Mille Bornes. I like Connect 4 too since the games are short.

My son is 8 and loves card games and board games, video games, oh wow, anything game! His fave is Uno too, but I recently got him Phase 10, don't know if you've heard of it, I really am surprised at how many ppl have never heard of it, but it's a great card game, I have a ton of fun playing it with him and my nephews when they come over. You have to complete 10 phases and each phase gets a little harder than the last, you make sets of 3 and runs of however many, like Rumi really. He's had a ton of fun with Sorry sliders, and still loves Trouble! something about that pop, pop, pop that kids really enjoy..Idk what it is cuz it annoys me, but it's worth it to see how much fun they have :) Idk how much video games you play or what systems you might have if so, but I know that the Wii offers several game that cater to game nights, they have tons of your fave classic board games, carnival games and such, and my son looooves the Wii..but we got the Kinect now for the xbox and he's so stuck on it..But one game he really loved for the Wii was Epic Mickey, it was a great learning game in ways.
Hope you get some good ideas..and hey, even if you don't like all the games, atleast you get to have fun trying them!!

I grew up playing Gin rummy and cribbage so those are my all time favorites. I can't hardly get my husband to play with me since I win most of the time. I keep telling him it takes practice and experience but he's not buying it. Other favorites - Backgammon, Parcheesi, Life (but not with the new board game/rules because it dumps too much money in the game), Careers (great for not too much thinking so pairs well with date night wine drinking).

We got a new game recently - Snorta - and that's pretty darn funny so I highly recommend that to people. It's fun for both adults and kids. It involves making animal sounds as an integral part of the game so how can you go wrong.

Apples to Apples - we got it in 2009 and haven't opened it yet...maybe we will this year!

My kids love Monopoly...my daughter is getting the Elexctronic one for Christmas because she says it will make her life easier :). Oh to be 8!

LOVE Uno and Sorry. Probably because all 3 of my kids can play them on their own...so it's a for real game and not mom or dad helping one kid.

Definately Solitaire and Uno!! When I was a kid growing up it was Life & Monopoly.

I love board games too! One of my favs is Cranium, love that game. Also Pictionary (we are a family of creative-types, so that gets FUN and out of control!) when I was younger we played Clue a lot, also Monopoly, Scrabble and Uno.

My favorite as an adult is pictionary--or maybe WAS pictionary. I haven't played it since my mom passed away. We were the pictionary QUEENS!! Neither she or I could draw worth a flip, but we were smart enough to start guessing just based on the category. The category could be "place" and she'd draw a straight line and I'd yell "Michigan Avenue" and I'd be right. My dad and brother would be so mad! We saved many of the drawings with the answer written on the page. I like to go back and look at them and wonder, "how in the world did we guess that?"

Good times!

Scrabble,,, but we do our fair share of pool, dominos , pictionary, dice and we play all the different games in the world with the kids,

phase 10, rummy or rummycube...these three are basically the same, scattergories, aggrevation, catch phrase, skip-bo. i love drawing games too like win lose or draw or pictionary.

Clue!

with my family. I also love Scrabble, Balderdash, Apples to Apples, and Shut the Box (which teaches kids to add, and can be played while having a conversation, holidays, etc.).
