Why? Because what more accurate representation of life is there? For every ladder you climb, there is a chute waiting, ready to beat you back down. - Cut La Rock Wed, 14 May 2008 15:09:49 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_2076 Scrabble. Just last weekend i beat my mother-in-law for the first time. ever. she's a super-sweet lady, so there was no grudge there . . . but it still felt pretty good. oh . . . i also have memories of NEVER finishing a game of Monopoly. Is that odd? - e house Wed, 14 May 2008 15:08:30 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_2073 Scrabble always intrigued my mind. I would love to see Scrabble come to the 360...anyway, I remember holding the q and z for a long time, and finally getting to play when my opponent made the classic mistake of leaving this open: TIPLE WORD SCORE (Blank), next letter to the right was a U, then an I after that, then a blank. Well, I was loosing by 30 points. Well, low and behold, stick the Q and Z right there at the beginning and the end, and voila: 64 points racked up in one play! Yeehaa, for the win by 34 points! I QUIZzed my opponent as to whether he knew that I had them and whether he was paying attention that UI was indeed a phiony word and that I was not going to challenge, him, because i was indeed going for the win. Anyway, I hope I get my name drawn for one of the board games. That would be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! - SKirkham1967A Wed, 14 May 2008 14:00:27 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_2068 Playing Pictionary in college with my fellow fraternity members. Due to a disagreement over what a "tumbleweed" blowing through an Old West town looks like, my wife still won't play with me! I've mellowed since then. 8) - Biohazard92 Wed, 14 May 2008 07:58:07 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_2043 Me and my wife love this game. would like to have it on the xbox360. - RAVEN Tue, 13 May 2008 03:33:34 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_2022 I love board games! One of my favorite memories is playing a board game called Nightmare with my sister and neighborhood friends when we were younger. It was a VCR game with a creepy guy that came on the screen and talked to the players (and called everybody maggots ;D ). You got the try and scare people throughout the course of the game and try to beat the timeclock that was counting down on the screen or nobody won. It was so much fun! - DancnDude Mon, 12 May 2008 05:33:49 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_2016 So many great memories one that stands out has to be playing a 12 hour game of Monopoly with 6 friends. Watching years of friendship slowly fade away as trust was lost, and pride was forgotten. When it got to the point where someone wasn't able to pay the rent, virtual possessions came into play like titles in N64 wrestling games. There were no winners that day, sure someone was victorious, but seeing how everyone turned on eachother and phone calls were ignored for weeks, led me to the belief that Monopoly is not a board game, but one of the devils most sinister creations, coming in second only to the internet. - Carlito33 Sun, 11 May 2008 22:16:20 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_2011 My best memory from a board game is from playing Diplomacy. Diplomacy is a bit like risk, minus the dice rolls, the only way to win is to by making deals with other people. I formed a four person alliance and one at a time back stabbed my partners. After we offed the first person, I made plans to take out the next one. I straight up lied to the person, convinced him to attack another player, and while he did that I attacked his defenseless country, wiping him out in one turn. He didn't talk to me for like two weeks. - SEANX0R Sun, 11 May 2008 04:29:27 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_1987 One of my favorite memories was playing battleships with my cousins and the game would always end up one of us being forced by our parents to pick up all the pieces because somebody got mad and flipped the board. ;D - One Thousandth Member Thu, 08 May 2008 16:04:38 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_1986 One of my favorite memories of playing board games is while playing Trivia Pursuit. A friend got a question about octopusses and mistakenly answered testicles when everyone assumed he meant tenticles. Well the joke was on us because testicles was the correct answer. We all laughed endlessly and still will refer to getting "kicked in the tenticles" or the likes as an inside joke. Good times. ;D - TyGuy22 Thu, 08 May 2008 14:54:23 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_1975 My favorite memory is playing the Simpsons version of Sorry with my two younger sons. They really love that version because of the characters and get into the game. - One Crazy Idiot Wed, 07 May 2008 20:19:15 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_1974 I've got to say that playing Monopoly during a power outage with a 20 sided die was the most fun. Made things move much quicker. - AstYak Wed, 07 May 2008 19:41:16 +0100 http://talkingaboutgames.com/content/view/997/56/#pc_1972 Probably the best memory I have of playing a board game was with Balderdash. You had to put your initials on your answer sheet. The guy reading the answers to the question would always laugh everytime he saw a BS answer signed with the initials BS. - BrotherJohn Wed, 07 May 2008 19:03:08 +0100
