Well, when I played that, we’d be too lazy to actually go through the game, so we’d just set up the trap and set it off until we got bored. Yay, instant gratification! :roll:
Played Life with the kids. It’s not my bag.
Mousetrap broke quickly so bad memories there.
Monopoly has a lot of regional rules I think. You gotta nail down the rules you use/don’t use like mortgage 10%, auction, Free Parking(free, $500 each time someone lands there) or more than one hotel on a single property.
I must say I recall Stratego as my first real foray into the world at war.
1-axis and allies
2-axis and allies pacific
3-stratigo
Loved Stratego, Chinese Checkers, Monopoly (still play that with my oldest).
did you disqulify Risk- Love that one!
Stratego was awesome, before they bastardized it with the 4 player edition
I’m an old Chess player myself.
chess is good, only if you have a good opponent. i played a friend once ,and (i swear to god) i pulled the same 4 move checkmate on him twice in a row
Silly me. I thought everyone would understand…
1)A&A
2)A&AE
3)A&AP
were given perpetual 1, 2, and 3 position and needn’t be included!
Of course, Risk is the perennial 4th position!
Has anybody ever played
1. Panzer Leader
2. Luftwaffe
?
2 great games from the 70’s. Panzers is all about tactical warfare on the western front, Luftwaffe is about the allies bombing Germany.
Both excellent, not quite as good as A&A or A&AE but still good.
Ah, yes. Pre-PC.
Panzer Leader…little cardboard squares maneuvering across a board with hexagonal spaces!
If I’m right, I just had a gameback(game flashback.)
Hex games rule …
as long as the rulebook is more than 12495 pages :)
Damn straight!
I was gonna say that LJ :cry:

You are not old enough. :P
That’s an early '70’s comment.
You’re right. :wink: Today’s generation has barely enough of an attention span to learn how to play A&A. My friend got a hex-based game about carrier warfare in the pacific-we attempted to learn how to play, but when the rulebook proved to be written by a team of attorneys, flipped a coin to determine the winner. I won twice, followed by a couple of wins from him. :P
1.Stratego
2.Monopoly
3.Axis and Allies
Damn Straight!
Does FRP’s like Dungeons & Dragons count?
Or at least the wargame Rules AKA CHAINMAIL?
ok Hex games:
Third REich anyone?
Yes… everybdoy loves Third Reich :D
But I had my fill of hex based games ever since the dread Campaign for North Africa
