My Age Shows Here, but it's my list. Without further ado, here are my favorite board games of ALL TIME. Now you kids get off my lawn....

  • Mouse Trap ★ Hasbro ★ I LOVED this game. The temptation to complete the trap all at once was often often too much for me.
  • Which Witch? ★ Milton Bradley ★ Remember? Yeah, now you do!
  • Flying Finnegan ★ Kenner ★ This is a quirky, rare and fairly anonymous game, but damn it was FUN!
  • Kerplunk ★ Ideal ★ I remember my hands shaking as it got down to the last few sticks.
  • Haunted House ★ Ideal ★ I didn't have this one, my cousin did, but oh how I wanted this game! Look at the pictures in the above link and tell me those shots of the manual don't drip with retro.
  • Jaws ★ Ideal ★ Remember getting this game for my birthday while we were on a family vacation. Remember playing it in whatever generic hotel we were staying at.
  • Talking Monday Night Football ★ Mattel ★ Got this for Christmas in the EARLY seventies (so yeah, I'm old, physically) when we lived in Balch Springs. This is one of those games that you wish you still had, a complete one of these will routinely fetch in the $200 range. Or so I hear.
  • Bonkers ★ Milton Bradley ★ Another relative unknown sneaks in the countdown. This was an underrated fun game. And who could forget the commercials ❝Bonkers is fun, Bonkers is nice, Bonkers is never the same game twice!❞
  • Payday ★ Parker Brothers ★ What could be more fun when your a kid, that paying bills like an adult. Strangely it was fun. Then.
  • The Junk Yard ★ Ideal ★ While technically not a board game, it's on the list because it was one of may all time favs.
