    old school games

    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?

    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
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    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.
