Christmas always reminds me of board games. As children, we knew that one of our shared presents would be a new board game, or something similar that we could enjoy with family and friends. We still occasionally play nowadays if we have family and friends around, although some of the games have been updated!

We got the old favourites such as Monopoly, Cluedo, Mousetrap, but I do recall some slightly more unusual ones, such as Escalado, Haunted House, and one we certainly still have, Escape from Colditz.

Anyone recall other favourites, or toys that they have never forgotten and perhaps still treasure?

Late entry: My favourite board game as a boy by far was Formula One. I  liked it because, if I am remembering it correctly, it was one of the few board games that did not rely on the throw of a die. 

Monopoly, Cluedo and Totopoly also featured in my childhood but never since - not really a board game fan.

I always used to say they were aptly named!!

Always played Scrabble with my in laws on Boxing day, a couple of years ago dad said heres a festive word, we looked on in anticipation, his offering was SEX, lots of laughing and blushes, sadly he passed away recently, I don't think Scrabble will ever be the same again
