Thursday Thirteen # 9 - Thirteen Games That I Enjoy Playing


I was recently talking to a relative about a game night he will be hosting next month and it got me to thinking about some of the games I have enjoyed playing through out the years. Please participate in the poll on the right.

1. Connect Four is a vertical checkers game. When my son was a boy we use to play this game all of the time. I am not the type to let a child win to boast their self-esteem, they have to earn it. There came a time when I had a most difficult time winning.

2. Othello is another game of strategy that I enjoy playing, especially when I discovered the secret of being the first one to the corners.

3. Trouble - I remember first playing this game when I was a child in elementary school. It use to be a lot of fun, but I haven’t played in years.

4. Scrabble - An excellent game for teaching children how to spell and use a dictionary.


5. Monopoly - Who didn't grow up loving this one?


6. Pictionary - This is probably my favorite game of all times. Half of the fun is figuring out how you are going to draw whatever is on the card.


7. Life - The game actually did teach you about life.


8. Scene It - I played this game for the first time over the Christmas holiday. I throughly enjoyed it because it is trivia based.

9. Trivia Pursuit - I love any and all games that pursue trivia.

10. Scattegories - This has been a fun game to play as an adult.

11. Outburst - Only played it a couple of times, but it was fun.

12. Upwords - A stackable Scrabble.

13. Sorry - Another one of my childhood favorites.

What are some of your favorite games?
