Monopoly...it's a great family game...I always let my son play banker cause it helps him learn to add and subtract. Scrabble...again a good family game that I enjoyed as a kid...helps younger ones build their vocabulary... There's also a game out there called LRC...it's a simple dice game, it's great and easy for everyone...

How fun Max. Blackjack is a good way to learn math too, Curious! OK..slight glitch. They want each basket to have an 'anchor' item. For example one basket is a DVD player (anchor) with tons of DVD's or Coffee time with a nice coffee pot as anchor and then filled with tons of coffee and accessories. So what would be a good anchor for board games? I have maybe $200 to work with total.

I had some friends over and we were all playing Life (4 of us). Well, my best friend's husband kept landing on every single have a baby/have twins/adopt space. He enede up with so many kids that he literally had to get another car for them. I've never seen that happen before and it was funnier because they were about a month away from having their baby.

For the anchor item you could get one of those 6-in-one wood boxes that coverts to many different games.

I have seen the tables, but not a box. Where would I find one?

Scrabble, and Backgammon, played constantly on the computer. My real people players have all gotten the heck out of California.

Huggermugger is my favorite all time game. It's similar to hangman, because all 6 players are trying to guess a word. However, to be able to "reveal" a letter to yourself you have to do things like guess definitions, spell words, unscramble words, make new words out of a long word, rhyme words, etc. Great English teacher fun! My other all time favorite is Dutch Blitz. Four players (or 4 teams) have their own deck of cards. You have a pile of 10 turned upside down in front of you w/ three cards face up in a row next to it. It's like a "community" solitaire game....you build piles of cards 1 - 12 in the center of the table (4 different colors instead of 4 different suits), and the first person to get rid of their pile of 10 wins. I've never seen it anywhere other than the Family bookstore in Michigan.... Here's a link if anyone's interested! link

I love Taboo and Cranium! True Colors is really fun but not for the sensitive. My family jokingly pick on each other all the time so we love this game. I think their new version is a little toned down.
