barryk32 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 We're stopping in tonight and the eldest wanted to play board games. I has a reminisce back to my youth when we had countless hours/days/weeks/months/years of fun with the likes of Space Crusade and Hero Quest etc. So we goes to Toys R Us and........... theres fuck all. Yet another thing the Playstation generation has missed out on. Quote
Smiley Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Bought my kids Monopoly & Frustration at Christmas. We had hours of fun with them. Can't go wrong with Frustration - for any age. But I know where you are coming from Baz. Kids have PS3, Wii, DSi, games on their phones, iPad, etc, etc, etc. Quote

jules_darby Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 My favourite as a kid was Hotel Went to see my family the day after Boxing Day and my 13 year old nephew shunned the console to try and get the family playing a board game, just a shame the game itself was pap; summat about knowing Britain Quote

Ghana White Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Tried playing subbuteo with my 8 year old nephew.. he genuinely had no idea how to do it, couldn't get his head around flicking the figures just kept picking them and hitting the ball with them.. play him at FIFA though and he's unbeatable.. depressing Quote
Walkden26 Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Subbuteo was quality, also the cricket equvilent Test Match was a great table game. Board games - Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit (Junior version ), Sorry, Mouse Trap - all great board games. Quote
Breightmet Boy Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 Kerrplunk, I used to love watching the richer kids playing that on Christmas Day, too many kids and skint in our house to have luxuries like that. Quote
The True Marple White Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 My favourite as a kid was Hotel I still have this, great game Quote

leigh white Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Beating Gubbins on his own turf at subbuteo was the highlight of my finger flicking life in 73. Quote
