Most recently Sunday night. My family was huge on board games growing up. We have played epic Monopoly games but most are finished within 1-2 hours due to the cuthroat way we battle each other.

Beckers 1,136 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I need an upgrade I don't have the pop up castle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I need an upgrade I don't have the pop up castle25 years ago it would've been a big impressive hard plastic castle complete with eye gouging pointy turrets and spires. Now, sadly it's probably flimsy cardboard that you have to spend and hour trying to insert tab A into slot B before you can start playing. I would imagine the majority of the people probably never put it together after the first couple of times playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Getting slightly off topic (still pertaining to games) has anyone been as disgusted as me with the costs of kids games and the poor quality? We have been buying games and puzzles for the granddaughters from Goodwill and yard sales for the last few years, so now we have a closetful, and if we had paid full price it would be over $1000. Yes, we look up the original prices on line either in the store or when we get home We get the games from $1 to $3 and sometimes will splurge on a $4 one (Deluxe Scrabble with the revolving turntable board). Some are reissues of old classics, Connect 4, Rebound, Mouse Trap, etc. All are a lot flimsier, poorly made and a lot more expensive when they were first released. The newer Scrabble Turntable version went from heavy larger wooden tiles(we still have ours from about 1975), to lighter slightly smaller wooden tiles to now cheezy plastic ones. A lot of the games are by these smaller companies that are supposed to be educational... they may be or may not be, but what that does is allow them to jack up the prices sky high. Many of these games are just variations of others they have made, with a different name, pieces, etc. Since we get them so cheap, we figure even if we play it once or twice and end up hating it, it's not a big loss. We can either take them to the consignment shop or back to Goodwill. We have found some hidden gems in those odd games that we all enjoy playing. We look for ones that everyone can play and also ones that just the adults and our 9 year old GD enjoy. We have found a few of our childhood games that we used to love, and about 95% of them our granddaughters think are lame! What a let down. Rant Over... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a let down. This is why when my parents moved years ago, I grabbed ALL the board games. I've since shared a bunch with my nephew but still have the classics... Clue, Monopoly, Scrabble, Stratego, Battleship... Does Princess Monopoly count? Yes!! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Speaking of board games. Spot it! is tons of fun. Adam just got the camping version for Christmas, plus it's small so I can carry it in my diaper bag and we can pull it out whenever. And it's fun for adults and kids.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's probably because my family is from the island where all the original Monopoly streets are from that I love it. And the subs. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
