3 games played as a 8-15 y. o.(other than RISK)…


  • 1)Monopoly(maybe I should disqualify this one , too)
    2)Scrabble
    3)Jumping off my bed as a super hero, in my undies with my bathrobe tied behind me and my robe belt criss-crossing my chest.

    Damn, if I don’t feel like I’m at a pajama party!

    Flashbacks…

    What do you think? Should I disqualify Monopoly?


  • monopoly is awesome, but it can get really competive, ive played a few games that almost ended in fights.


  • I like the game of LIFE. :)


  • ever play mousetrap? that game owns.


  • @Janus1:

    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:


  • @Janus1:

    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
