Board Games circa 1980-89

Yes! I was scrolling down this thread hoping that somebody had had enough common sense to mention it. I could never get the damn thing to work, though.

Jen-ga.... Jen-GA.... JEN-GA... JENGA
Jen-ga.... JEN-ga.... JEN-GA... JENGA
god i loved that game... nothing like the look of fear when the tower started to tremble

too many games listed here that are still being made. anyone remember "merlin"? precursor to the gameboy?

Shut the hell up! There is no way something so awesome could exist in such a cold and godless universe.

Connec-four was kinda fun...Jenga, definetely...

Heroquest, bitches.

Heroquest.

My parents wouldn't buy me any game that relied primarily on luck. I could only play games like Chess and Sequence and Scrabble.

I always wanted Don't Wake Daddy

Trivial Pursuit owns all. My family and I turned that shit into a bloodsport. It was in sharp contrast to the other game my Dad would want to play with us when we were kids.

Worst. Shit. Ever.

I vote the original Talisman , with all the expansions except for the dragons one . That made the game way too deadly & a lot less fun . Also , I had Darktower too & it was a blast . Heroquest was pretty great , but we always referred to it as death in a box . The only game we played at home as a family was pokeno , which was pretty lame in retrospect .

Monopoly, although for some unknown reason people don't seem to like it.

Yes and yes.

If it's not Risk, Scrabble, or Trivial Pursuit I don't want to hear about it.
