Dad and I use to play rummy and UNO a lot. I hated it that I'd get down to one card and then he'd drop a 'wild card draw 4' and then a 'reverse', a 'draw 2 cards', a 'skip', then another 'skip' and a 'reverse', when its only two players, those skips and reverses were fun, unless the other person had them. Anyhoo, I'd go from 1 card to, like 12, in less than a minute. I sure miss him. :(
 
Does anyone remember playing this board game as a young child? :p

Is this thread supposed to be about board games or "real" games? Lol

I was thinking track and field when I lived in Eugene Oregon. We literally had a meet every weekend, every summer I lived there. I have more ribbons, medals and cups than you can imagine. There was nothing like that in Canada. No wonder the sport is so strong in the US.

After my Dad got his PhD my Oregon days ended! The winters were long and I took up competitive badminton, a nice, fast indoor game. One year, our family one "Most Active Badminton Family" award where we played, because we were literally there all the time! Plus both my parents played in singles ladders, and mixed doubles, and men's and ladies doubles.

There simply was no time for board games!

Oh right, I played golf all summer and hated every minute of those 6 hour rounds, mostly spent in the rough looking for lost balls, I had a long, wicked slice, and all the lessons in the world from the pro couldn't straighten it up for more than a few days!

What about Oregon Trail on the old floppy drives? I did enjoy playing that in elementary school.

"Any" games as a child!(says the joefizz who made this thread lol!)
 
I liked the outdoor games a lot, Chinese jump rope, hopscotch, freeze tag, kickball and I grew up living next door to a cemetery, so at night we'd go there and play flash light tag and ghost in the graveyard. We had so much fun in that cemetery at night.

I used to play Candy Land with my Brother and we also had the game Barrel of Monkeys and Ants in the pants. When we got an Atari I loved playing Pitfall and Space Invaders. We also had a ping pong table and we played that a lot.
 
Played a lot of Monopoly, Risk and Clue. Also learned to play chess which is not the easiest game to learn and master.
