Good thread.
Monopoly is my favorite. When I was younger my friends and I would play Monopoly in the hallway of the apartment we lived in for ours on end! I haven't played Monopoly in a minute, but I still LOVE it. This thread reminds me that I need to get a new Monopoly board. I use to have one, but I have no idea where it is anymore because I've moved a lot since my teen age years.
Reply: Wasn't talking to you Alumoron, was replying to Juice about Kate Upton you happen to post at the same time.
Plus I doubt you even have anyone to play board games with maybe you should look at playing online.

The games are REAL board games. You can't download a REAL board game. But cyber versions are available. But NOT like the REAL thing.

5 does not come after 3 when you are counting. Sorry you too dumb to realize that. LMFAO! And if you can't count to 8 or 9 you certainly can't to 10! LOL!
Growing up, we were so poor, we couldn't afford any board games. In fact, we were so poor, we couldn't even play tic tac toe. It was only Paper, Rock, Scissors for us.
Somewhere, my mom has one of the original Monopoly games that her mother bought. Sometime in the thirties, I think.
I should try to find that, it might be worth some money for her. Of course, they actually *played* with that game, so it might not be that valuable.
I like axis and allies, risk, and monopoly. The version of monopoly for the iPad is actually pretty fun to play.
I used to play axis and allies in a friend's house and another's friends garage all weekend long or sometimes until the sun came up on Sunday before I started my strip club hobby.
Years later I became one of the skilled players online with axis and allies. I think my email to Hasbro helped them create a patch for a number of bugs. I saw their patch addressed items I mentioned. That was a patch for the original software.
I thought it was entertaining to go to war with people you can't stand online and beat the crap out of their empires.
I did that in one game of axis and allies. It was interesting when other countries were being played by people from those countries such as Germany and Russia, and elsewhere.
A good online game, Total Annihilation.
Online when I played games with girls from the UK, Canada, and Australia on a free chat site while it lasted, we used microphones to do voice chat, there was truth or dare and the moaning game.
Funniest moments was when one girl in the UK thought I was one of her friends from the UK and another time when I was chatting with a female deputy in Greenville SC and she was moaning real good. I was wondering what are the odds some of her male buddies could be listening in laughing at it all? The moaning sounded like sex, maybe.
I thought paying for long distance might be a thing of the past or the site would get shut down. The site got shut down.
Always enjoyed:
Clue, Scrabble, Chess, Monopoly (the original)and Fortune (which I recall was a clone of Monopoly.)
Milton-Bradley Co. made a lot of board games in the 1950s and I enjoyed most of them. Some of them buried trivia in my brain that popped out on computerized tests like the SAT or LSAT and sometimes while watching Jeapordy (sp?).
"Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Candlestick"
(The Game of) LIFE
Not a board game, but spent countless hours playing the old electronic football game
The spoiled kids had Operation. We were left out of that equation. But we had rocks. We use to skip rocks a lot. A whole lot. Damn growing up poor sucks. James, I fell ya bruh.
The ultimate evil, old school game was lawn darts. How the fuck they ever got these javelins of destruction past the PTA, the ACLU, and the Democrat Party are beyond me.
"The spoiled kids had Operation"
Lol. Me and my sister were far from spoiled. We really weren't poor, but we were far from rich. I always thought we were "middle class" until I took a sociology class my senior year in high school and realized we were "middle to upper lower class."
Anyway....my sister loved biology and medical stuff so I we played it a lot. She liked it better than I did.
Board games. My hobby on Saturday night used to be playing Axis and Allies with modified rules during most of the night. We liked starting out with massive military forces using 300 monetary units to buy things at the start without knowing what the other two guys bought. Then one guy moved and we quit playing and I started going to strip clubs. The PC version came out but never had the fun option to allow humans and AI's to start with automatic purchases. The original PC version was buggy for years until I emailed Hasbro and they came out with a patch fixing most of what I mentioned.
I will check it out. Thanks Yahtzee.
I don't spend much time at all playing computer games but updated one I had played for months yesterday. Diablo 3. I had to download a 5 gig file to update it and then the game setting was too easy. Turned it up to torment level 1 and it's still easy. However it is kind of enjoyable to see my character supposedly get caught in an ambush and after a minute it said the massacre count was like 116. There are harder settings, I might make it harder.
I like the games Alucard likes. I also liked Risk ( taking over the world ) and Dogfight ( WWI biplanes ).
And I liked the Avalon Hill War Games:
