<p>I played Monopoly a lot as a kid and in college (including an amusing cheating version, a lot like the current banking industry). My kids did not get into it, preferred Clue, Risk, Scrabble and Boggle. Lately My D and I have been playing a card game called SET. I regularly lose all games. I wonder when I stopped letting them win one, and started really losing for sure regularly.</p>
<p>The best online Scrabble game I’ve found is at The Pixie Pit, a British website. </p>

<p>It used to be free but now costs $12/year but I’d pay even more than that. It’s really a great site. </p>

<p>When I was a teenager I used to play every weekend with my siblings. It was a special time, we enjoyed picking up the pawns: My favorite the boot, the racecar and the ship were the other favorites. I developed my own strategies…recently I heard about monopoly competitions. Anyone has ever participated in a Monopoly competition?</p>
<p>I recently has played Scrabble too…nice game, but monopoly brings me great memories from my childhood.</p>
<p>We used to play a lot of SET, Bugmom. I really enjoyed that game. Lately when my D is home from college we usually play Syzygy. It seems like every single time we play it the winner wins by just one piece, and it’s about 50/50 whether that’s her or me. It makes it fun to play since we’re even competitors and it’s anybody’s game.</p>
<p>When the kids were younger we played Clue and Pictionary quite a bit.</p>
<p>Rentof2:How is the Syzygy game? A science game?
syzygy (pronounced /ˈsɪzɨdʒi/) is a kind of unity, especially through coordination or alignment, most commonly used in the astronomical and/or astrological sense</p>
<p>We’ve always been huge SET fans in our house, too. Along with many other games listed here, we went through a phase of playing a great card game called Fluxx when S was in HS.</p>
<p>I love games. My H is more competitive than I, but loses patience with games when others take them seriously. When he was a kid, he was known for announcing (a la Pogo) “Earthquake!!!” and gleefully knocking into chaos the chess, checkers, or whatever, board being played at the time.</p>
<p>LOL #15–SlitheyTove–the flying Risk board–OMG–you must be one of my siblings!! </p>
<p>I didn’t like Monopoly that much. I always felt sorry when people went bankrupt. I’ve never been a competitive person. And I’ve always lost $$ in real estate. </p>
<p>We like Apples to Apples, Scrabble, Boggle, Catch Phrase.</p>
<p>LOL…atomom said: I always felt sorry when people went bankrupt.</p>
<p>That was exactly my goal…that the other players went bankrupt…atomom you just brought great memories thanks.</p>
<p>I’m old…LOL. A makeover for monopoly!: </p>
<p>MONOPOLY Introduces Round Game Board for 75th Anniversary. It will have electronic bank and music effects!</p>
<p>Anyone has one of this…" Revolution Edition".</p>
<p>I hated Monopoly. Loved cards, Scrabble and backgammon.</p>
<p>Loved it as a kid, but now I prefer games that are shorter. We would set it up in someone’s basement and play for days! I also loved the game “Life” when I was a kid.</p>
<p>Lateley H, S and I have been playing Scatergories and Bananagrams.</p>
<p>I played a lot of Monopoly as a kid, but never liked it much. It got more interesting when we realized you could loan money on the side, charge interest etc. I played a lot of cards as a kid - spoons, hearts, canasta, gin rummy, and cribbage. We also loved Careers and Clue. When we were a little older we mostly played bridge. We started playing Monopoly with my oldest when he was four, but my younger son hated it. When he was old enough we went back to playing careers. Now we mostly play bridge. My oldest still loves games and plays Settlers of Catan and Dungeons and Dragons with his friends. He is also the house champion at Set.</p>
<p>We played Fluxx everyday on a trip through Japan, it’s one of the few games I know where no one really cared about winning we just loved the process of playing it.</p>
<p>I love Scrabble and other word games, but my boys refuse to play with me.</p>
<p>Monopoly, eh - kids never got interested. Now Scrabble on the other hand is multi-generational blood sport in my family, we even bicker over which dictionary to use…</p>
<p>Cut throat Monopoly games for days!!! Stashes of cash under the chair. Alliances formed and broken!!! Get the orange and red corner. They’ll hit it coming around the horn (Jail).</p>
<p>I taught my daughter and husband how to really play Monopoly. I bet if I called my old co-horts, we could put a beat down on someone - lol</p>
<p>Risk and Sorry,were fairly cutthroat, also. And Spades. And Hearts. and Bid-whist. Competetion was fun! :)</p>
<p>This may be interesting to some of y’all. I was watching a Elyse Luray piece on History Detectives a while back and came across something about the game’s origin which may surprise you.

<p>I attribute my career in real estate to playing and loving Monopoly. My favorite game by far.</p>
<p>I think I loved Monopoly more on aesthetic grounds than anything else. I loved the cool, whimsical player pieces and the title cards with those gorgeous saturated colors and copperplate type. I thought Risk was more fun to play, but it wasn’t as much fun to look at.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, that is interesting! I’ve read history’s of Monopoly that don’t say any of that.</p>
<p>NEVER liked Monopoly - it took too long to play and my sister always threw a hissy fit if I bought Boardwalk & Park Place…</p>
<p>I prefer a good game of Phase 10, Rook or online scrabble. Last night I played a gentleman from Romania. [Internet</a> Scrabble Club](<a href=“http://www.isc.ro%5DInternet”>http://www.isc.ro)</p>
<p>Tons of games of Milles Bornes, backgammon, rummy, hearts, and euchre while growing up. Now lots of Apples to Apples and this wierd little game called Elixer. And Book Lover’s Trivial Pursuit. Never much of a fan of Monopoly.</p>
