I still love that game but it's hard to find. My favourites right now are Apples-to-Apples and In a Pickle, both of which are hilarious because they are so open to interpretation and the game always seems different depending on who you play with. We love playing games here, but just don't have enough opportunity to get together with other game-playing friends.

I didn't really enjoy board games until I was an adult and I still despise the charade games like Pictionary.

It is the one board game that we can play as a family now that we "kids" are all grown up, because my dad is so super competitive about things that it isn't fun to play most games with him for very long. By the time I was a senior in high school I refused to play Trivial Pursuit with the family any more because by the time we got about half-way through the game my dad was acting like a total jerk. So endearing! Oops, did I just over-share?<BR/><BR/>ANYWAY, back to Cranium...It is also the one board game that I can have fun playing without feeling like I'm at work (I ran after-school programs for years, so Monopoly, Life, Scrabble, Mancala, Jenga, etc. eventually all became associated with work. Tough day at the office, I know!).fairydogmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901824447445942886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-19346428490740233372008-07-23T17:24:00.000-06:002008-07-23T17:24:00.000-06:00I'm going on a family trip this weekend and bought...I'm going on a family trip this weekend and bought The Last Word to play with my family.

We've recently acquired a few, but like yours, they remain unopened. Just the other day, I was shuffling cards with some friends, and he was like, "I didn't know you could do that." (Obviously referring to the fact that I could bridge the cards.)<BR/><BR/>But I'm not ashamed of the kiddie games I played and loved. LIFE was probably my favorite, followed closely behind by Hungry, Hungry Hippos and Guess Who. Oh, and PayDay. And Mouse Trap. Oh, oh and Hands Down.

Seriously, I would rather scrub toilets. And when the kids want to play Candylan or Chutes and Ladders or some crap....it kills me. Makes me want to scream.<BR/><BR/>The one exception is Scrabble though....in fact, I play it on my phone before bed almost every night.<BR/><BR/>I can also tolerate interactive stuff, like Trivial Pursuit or Scene It etc.<BR/><BR/>I love to play cards!
