I do not play chess at all, but I know how to play checkers and tic tac toe board games. From USAopoly comes the Super Mario Checkers and Tic Tac Toe games. Fun for 2 players, ages 6 and up.

I played lots of board games with my siblings when we were younger. One game in particular that was fun to play was the classic Screaming Eagles (1987) board game from Milton Bradley. Roll the dice and pick your cards. Somewhat similar and a little more complicated is Fantasy Flight’s new X-Wing Miniatures Game.

January 9, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Today, toy company Hasbro is generating some PR buzz for the classic board game Monopoly by retiring one of its classic tokens. The public will get the chance to vote on which classic token to be saved – either the car, thimble, boot, Scottie dog, battleship, hat, iron or wheelbarrow.
You have until February 5, 2013 on Monopoly’s Facebook page to decide. My vote is for the “Iron”. Vote!!!
Vintage Games

This is for vintage game snobs! If you don’t like the cheap feel of budget board games from the corner drugstore, might I suggest these retro vintage style games?
This Vintage Giant Deluxe Scrabble uses special wood and is also a Lazy-Susan, so the board can spin around to any player and raised grids to keep the tiles from moving. Weighing in at 17 pounds and 50% larger than regular Scrabble board games, this pricey board game will endure the rough and tumble Scrabble playing madness!
MSRP: $220.00USD
Buy it @ Restoration Hardware (RH) – Vintage Giant Deluxe Scrabble.
