You know the games where it takes you at least an hour and a half just to set up before you actually start playing? I think Monopoly taught me to budget. And Mouse Trap led me to my IT career (putting things together)...ok, I'm being silly but, do any kids play these games nowadays? I wish I had taken better care of them. I could probably sell them on Ebay now for a grip.

We always play:
Monopoly
Trouble
Candyland
Connect 4
Mouse Trap
Also, alot of scrabble, helps kids with language and spelling!!!
plus card games: old maid, crazy 8's, go fish, war, rummy, etc....
I do my best to keep them away from video games (they do play some), what happened to the good ol' days of using your imagination and making up games with your friends?
