I won't share everyone's Top Ten List, but I'll put the top two favorites.
Kayla: Rummikub, Freestyle Apples to Apples
 |
Jasmine: Escape the Curse of the Jungle, Tsuro
Tyler: King of Tokyo, too many tied for second place
 |
| Ty is the one who finds most of the new games. He watches videos about games and learns about new ones he wants to try. Lately He discovered King of Tokyo, Get Bit, Roll for It and Tsuro this way. |

I have a hard time choosing two favorites. On one hand, I love children's games and can't wait until River and Winter are old enough to play games. Candy Land and Shoots and ladder will be the first ones.
But the games I choose most often now are:
- Rummikub
- Roll for It (another of Ty's Christmas presents)
- Yahtzee
- Dominoes
- Battleship (I played it tonight literally for the first time in about twenty years)
- Boggle
- Catch Phrase
- Tsuro
- Apples to Apples(If I'm in the mood and we have the right group)
- Sorry
- Princess UNO
I haven't played Scattegories since I got married, so that's almost 30 years. It requires a lot of people to make it fun.
Ricks' favorites are Rummikub and Yahtzz
Your turn! What are your top two, or top ten, board games? And does your list change by who you are with?

Other than chess, I haven't played board games very much since I left Indiana. The first couple of years that I was in Nevada I played Connect 4, checkers, and chess. (At least that's all that I can remember at the moment.) I haven't played anything other than chess for around 20 years. And I haven't even played chess in over 15 years.
Pictionary and Mexican Train. We like Scattegories too when we have big group. We played a lot of SkipBo with John's mom and Grandma while the kids were growing up and Rummikub too.
Our family enjoys Uno, Trivial Pursuit & CLUE the most. Sometimes Monopoly and Sorry but it depends on everyone's mood. I remember playing Trivial Pursuit with my parents as a kid. So many good memories!

Our whole family's favorite game is Bubble Talk. It's like Apples to Apples, but with hilarious photos that you choose caption cards for. We love it.
We also love Skip-Bo, Exploding Kittens, and Life. I have always loved Scattergories and Clue.
Megan-- I haven't played either pictionary or mexican train! I will have to check them out. I can't draw worth poo.
Emily--Bubble talk sounds like one our kids would like.
Anon--do you play original Clue or the new version with rumor cards and such?
Ken--you should still be playing chess!
