Quiddler, Scrabble, Boggle, Hand & Foot (we hear it's similar to Canasta) and Perquacky.

Except for the lone card game, I'm mostly a word person :-)

Settlers of Catan and Quiddler are favorites of mine, too! I have every intention of bringing Settlers to the hospital with me during labor (I seem to take more then 24 hours to get the deed done) and I get bored easily. Last time, I made my sister bring Trivial Pursuit cards and I was the only one allowed to answer the questions.

I like card games best...especially Rook. But a hand of Hearts or Spades is always fun too. :)

love your post!! I have never ever heard of the settlers of Catan- I will have to research that one.. I love playing games, me and my girls are into playimg scrabble slam. Fun and improves spelling skills.

We MUST be soul mates!!! I absolutely LOVE games (of the mental and board varieties)! My favorite has to be the electronic monopoly my hubs and I just bought...or scrabble - as long as I can use a dictionary!

I grew up in a house hold of weekly family game nights and weekly mario cart marathons (two seperate events, all my mum use to kick out asses at). They still go on as far as I'm aware. All my grown up siblings and mother meet weekly to do this. If I wasn't in a different country I would so be in on that.

I started playing with my Husband but don't anymore because he cheats

Scrabble, Monopoly,CRANIUM, cards.

Reading through the comments has reminded me of some of the games my family played when my brother and I were children . It was wonderful! My dad even made a putting course in the garden.

Sadly, we don't often play games in our home. Hubby's the god of the t.v. remote control and hardly budges off the settee in the evenings. I can't blame him though as he gets up really

I'm still in love with Battle Ship.. Man my brother and I would just nearly kill one another over where to hide those darn ships.

I love games too but my hubby doesn't. So I have to wait until the kids are all here to play.
You are doing so good with your posts...I can't think of anything interesting to blog about. Guess I need a life. lol.

I'm a huge disappointment to my husband in this area. He loves nothing better than a little bout of my team-your team, and I couldn't be more apathetic. The other weekend we were with friends and they wanted to play poker. Everyone was trash talking and I was falling asleep over my cards. I just don't think I'm very fun.

2010-02-09T22:31:32.034-05:00

I love games, especially word ones. My favs are Boggle and Scrabble. My husband always says I make up words so he doesn't play very often. I also enjoy a few rounds of wii boxing when I get frustrated with things. Nothing like taking my aggression out on a animated version of my husband. :)

I love playing games too. I think it is a great way to spend time with someone....that doesn't cost you anything.
I love card games. Hubby and I play all the time AND HE WINS 90% OF THE TIME.
grrrr.
We also do crossword puzzles together.
Is that a sign we are getting old??

2010-02-09T21:12:12.976-05:00

I LOVE games! My whole family is a bunch of board and card gamers, but I am the QUEEN. My favorite is Euchre, but nobody in my fam wants to learn it. We play scrabble, sequence, and risk, plus presidents and rummy. I also love other people's Wii's, how could you not?!?

2010-02-09T20:57:46.052-05:00

Oh my gosh, my friend & I used to play Mahjong for fun!! Her mom and aunts would play for hours at a time, and she taught me how to play. It's just like rummy, but just with the Chinese Characters!! So fun!

I grew up with board games & cards too. So much fun!

Life, Monopoly, Scattegories, Sorry, and so many more!!

2010-02-09T20:53:53.347-05:00

We love the Wii! We play it all the time...Mario Kart...Super Mario Brothers...Wii Sports. My kids are still a bit young for the board games like Monopoly and such. But we do have the younger kids board games. I just bought 4 shelves for our games. Now if only I can get my husband to put them up :-)

2010-02-09T20:00:37.888-05:00

Did you hear there is a new Monopoly coming out? I think I am going to have to get it. That is the greatest game of all time (well at least in my opinion!!). :)

2010-02-09T20:00:01.085-05:00

I started playing dominoes with the adults when I was 8. They were short one player, and decided to give me a try. I had watched enough games to know how to play. Dominoes is a very competitive game in my family.

After I married and had kids, Monopoly was our game of choice. Always fun, and we didn't do the shortened version either.

2010-02-09T19:58:14.856-05:00

My husband's favorite game is Settlers of Catan, but I just can't get into it. I do love card games though. My inlaws are HUGE into Euchre and so am I. I also love games like Scattergories, Apples to Apples, Yahtzee, and Gestures.

Oh man I use to love playing games when I was younger. I've tried with the boys but the boys just don't have an interest I hope when they are older ;)

I so very much enjoyed your post, Debbie!!I like games, too.! I 've visited Vegas once with my husband, a long ago. I use to play cards with friends very often.
