Anyone remember games from your child hood?
I remember battleship i got once for christmas. And snakes and ladders of course also yatzee was a good one i liked to play with my mum and dad. There was a cracking horse racing game that you wound up but i cant remember the name.
So go on what was your favorite?
Monopoly, magnetic football, Ludo, Sorry & Lexicon to name but a few.
Frustration, Operation. Being quite an odd child I spent more time reading then anything else!
Mousetrap.
I love Yahtzee - me, my brother, my parents and surrogate grandparents used to play at least once a fortnight. Fond memories. And of course, I was one of the original Trivial Pursuit generation :)
I've never played yahtzee..
I've heard of Yahtzee but never played it.
I used to play spillikins though can't exactly remember the rules.
Spillikins? I've never heard of it.. Ahhh I've googled and I do know it! My Dad had a set and we were allowed to play once in a blue moon..
Same as "pick up sticks". I wonder what happened to his set?
From what I remember it was played with thin plastic sticks of various colours.Quote:

Apparently that is how they train the new doctors in the N.H.S with operation. If they touch the side then they have o re sit that year.Quote:

Mousetrap and Operation.
Still play most of these with my youngest :D
Never heard of spillikins
some others \kerplunk, sorry, guess who,
ones we love now is the modern game of life, hobbit, risk and cluedo
Kerplunk was fun but like mousetrap it took too long to set up. I love snakes and ladders and when we got to the top we would go up the snakes and down the ladders all the way to the bottom.
Did any of you play Rounders? Boys vs girls.
I never played rounders but my sister did.Quote:

it seems like children played the same sort of games but with different names.
British bulldog was a fav at my school.
One of my favourites was my Sketch-O-Matic, sort of like the I-Pad of it's day
Chloe has a etch o sketch and Spirograph. Sh loves drawing with it.
God stella, that was a few years ago LOL.
Not something I was especially good at but the girls in that video sure knew what they were doing. Nowadays double dutch has been taken to a whole new level
