Dear Fabbers, Friends and Forumites
Heavens to Betsey and good gravy, we are all in the grip of storm Desmond. (Only two more storms to go and its storm Gertrude, it’s a fact google it)
Pooch and I have been out and faced the wrath of jolly well 70 mile per hour winds. We could hardly stand up and to have a conversation we had to say a sentence and then run back ward to hear it as it was caught in the wind and carried off lol. What an odd spectacle of word chasing chums we must have looked.
Well now we are home and settled in front of a roaring fire , whilst the winds and rain surround us . Jolly well snug as two spiffing bugs.
We decided after a rather long conflab to dig out our board games and have an afternoon for dice throwing and counter moving.
Pooch being a jolly cerebral hound quite favours Risk , Stratego , scrabble or Boggle. Given his extensive knowledge of the English language and his propensity to military strategy games. I asked could we play snakes and ladders just to give me a chance .
So chums we are asking you this soggy Saturday afternoon what is your favourite board game , or non-computer, non- electronic game .
You may choose Subbuteo , flick to kick
Mouse Trap, turn the crank to trigger the bowling ball.
I am guessing Twister may pop up a few times, with a few amendments to the rules and added custard !!
So Chums what’s your favourite board game ?
Tinsel Taff and Santa Paws
Keep it classy , just a tad sassy, never too jolly trashy

Monopoly is a firm favourite, I do cheat if I'm the banker though. 
Scrabble, or a game of cards, would be up there as well. I know it's not a board game. |

"Do card games count, if so can never beat a bit of poker (stripping optional  ) if not I love a good old game of monopoly
heavens yes card games count too can you play strip snap as poker is a tad to complicated for me and I grin like a jolly Cheshire cat if I get a good hand   "
Never tried strip snap but I'm sure its doable. I have a good poker face |

Days like this remind me of playing Pontoon with my Nan. Wrapped up in a blanket, toasting bread on the fire, drinking hot toddies (minus the alcohol for me).
So a game of Pontoon. Or I do enjoy a good game of scrabble. |

"Cards Against Humanity...
Trivial Pursuit (the family version so we can answer the kids questions!) "
This pretty much covers it for me. Apparently there's a secret card hidden in the lid of the box of Cards Against Humanity. I think I might go look. I'd really like a properly X rated offensive selection of cards... I'm quite hard to offend it seems.  |

The Really Nasty Horse Racing game is a good one.
Not really a board game, but I love the Murder Mystery games too where you dress up as a character and play a part. They are excellent fun and recommended. |

I don't have many board games now, of even sure what I've got, but had a variety when my son was younger and one night a week was board game night he always chose monopoly and I bloody hated it. But I used to put a two hour game limit.
I bought one called cranium I think and played it one Christmas with all my family, well it was hilarious I actually thought my mum was going to attack my brotherinlaw |

My family has a game called You Be the Judge. It has cards with old legal cases and in teams you have to decide what the ruling was. If you're right you roll the dice and tick off that number of spaces on your sheet. First team to.fill their sheet wins.
Also like Scrabble, cluedo and monopoly |

Used to love Risk, I went to boarding school and we used to have 2 boards joined together. Some games would last several days
Backgammon is my game of choice now, although living on ma own, I tend to play it on ma PC more often than not  |

It's because they are so so fun! Like, they're so easy to pick up, and incredible to play, but for some reason, they're not that big here... |

For us its scrabble, trivial pursuit and i doubt anyone will have heard if GO - loved playing this as a child and recently found it on ebay and my sons love it to, despite it being totally out of date xxx |

They don't seem to be marketed much and the major stores don't even offer the tiniest of selections....
There must be a board game group in Brum I can join - particularly since you're sooooooo far away! |

My grandparents used to have a gardening game think it was called "how does your garden grow?" You had to collect plants and veg for your garden plot. We would play it after Sunday dinner
