What was your favorite childhood game?

I loved Hide and seek when i was very young but then we played code and Kerby as well as football, i liked games like hit ad run, dodgeball, darts, water tag, we never played board games at home but i had a maze thing i could play myself,

electronic games were later from about 15 we played tekken, GTA, and Gran turismo, earlier computer games were sonic and mario, i liked time cop as well.

now i play games at the brain training group, we have a chess board and dominoes, checkers, scrabble and others

I was an only child, so most of my games involved my imagination.

I would often take my mothers cauldron, Mortar & Pestle, random kitchen spices, and make my own potions. I’d also love looking through her spell books.

No candles though, I was never allowed to have any in my room. (Smart decision on my mums part, or else I probably would have burned the house down)

  • Monopoly. My childhood friend and I would write our own additions and new rules to it and spend our afternoons playing it.
  • Risk when I got older, and that’s still one of my favourites, although nobody I know ever wants to play it now.
  • As a young adult/student me and my friends played Settlers of Catan endlessly.
  • When my son was a toddler I bought the childrens version of Monopoly and Catan for him.
  • Now he is a bit older we also play 30 seconds junior and Stratego.
  • But the game I love most now for myself is a game for adults called Dixit - it’s a very different kind of game, that needs imagination and empathy. I suck at it, but it’s a beautiful game.

So, that’s my life history in boardgames. :slight_smile:

I love playing Monopoly. I don’t know why but i generally always win at this game. Another game that i enjoyed was Payday. I used to be quite good at that as well. Hide and seek was always fun as a child.

My sixteen year old watches YouTube and solves the Rubiks cube without looking. He did not get that from me!
