Board Games and Favourite Toys!

We play snakes and ladders and children’s version of monopoly with the grandtwins

When I was posted to an Army Air Corp unit in 1970 within 10 minutes I was being instructed in the art of Uckers.  This originally was a game played in the RN and is a little more complicated than Ludo.  Hours of fun.  

Never really into Board Games as a child. Use to play Monopoly with the boys when they were younger and they always won even without me letting them!!! About a year ago someone showed me how to play dominoes and I seemed to win every game which was unusual for me, more due to observation and maths!!!

My Grandad taught me Dominoes, Fives and Threes! Not sure if there are other Domino games, but it’s the only one I remember.🙂

We had hilarious fun playing an adapted version of 'Pop-up-Pirate' on one of our boats - after dinner with friends. Basically, you had to answer a nautically-themed question (and I used to come up with some diabolical ones).  If you got it right - you were able to remove a dagger from the barrel.  But if you got it wrong - it was 'two fingers' of the drink you were drinking.  Obviously, the game became more stupid as the night wore on - but great fun

I had to look it up, but came across this link that might interest you OP, and R&R.

At Christmas, depending on numbers we resort to Bingo (there's always someone with a big voice who likes calling the numbers!) We also do pass the parcel and smoke everyone out with indoor fireworks (they're pretty awful.) Other games depending on effort required or children wanting to do them. 

Thanks TDA, we had our board painted on a table top

I used to love Board games. One of my favourites was a game based on Thor Hyeredahl's expedition.It was called Kon Tiki.  Educational at the same time. We used to have the Colditz game. There was Mine a Million, Totopoly (horse racing game), Mousetrap. 

As there were 4 kids in the house it was always a tradition at Christmas for us to gang up on our parents. I remember the times fondly.

I recall one Christmas when I was about 10 getting a box set of 50 board games such as Ludo, Dominoes etc. Hours of fun.
