Board Games

Our Sunday night Sunday School class, which functions more like a home group, played WhirlyBall for our last get-together. This time, there seems to be a move to play board games. Now, I've been to social gatherings where Uno has been played. Or maybe a game called Taboo. I even wound up at a New Year's deal where Bunco was on the agenda.

But those were nights where we knew what was going to be played. You know, where the hosts said, "Come over & join the other couples & we'll play Russian Rummy and hang out."

What they're suggesting, from what I can gather, is that you have a selection of board games and folks pick the ones they want to play. So, there could be several games out just waiting to be played.

My choices would be:

Trivial Pursuit: 80's Edition (at least that way, when you hear the answer, you've at heard of it).
Life (old-school version, not the new one where you can make millions as a rock star & buy huge homes).
Phase 10 (or Russian Rummy. They're similar.) if you have to have a card game.

Not:

Boggle.
Twister (and not just because I'm old. I never liked that game, even in middle school when you were supposed to like that game).
Monopoly.

So, if your friends were going to get together & have a board game night, what games should be on the tables when folks arrive?
