Board Games

[DanaC]

My abiding memory of board games as a kid is that other people's board games were always more interesting.

We had loads. Monopoly and Cluedo, and Snakes and Ladders, Draughts, and Ludo and Trivial Pursuits, Connect Four and that game with the mystery faces, and Scrabble and Boggle, and Scruples (great fun for all the family, or grounds for divorce: you choose) and stuff that lit up and stuff that made noises and games with notepads and little pens.

But ahhhh....my cousins had Mousetrap! and Bucking Bronco, and Operation and KerPlunk. And my best friend had Game of Life, and a pirate treasurehunt game with little chests full of miniature ingots and maps with X marking the spot.
