What games did you play in your home or neighborhood?

My family loves games. Always has. And, we love everything. Board games, card games, puzzles, action games, word games, dice games. You name it, we'll try it, and we'll probably like it.

Some past and present favorites, in no particular order: Sorry, Life, Monopoly, Clue, Gin, Poker, a million other card games I can't remember the names to, Yahtzee, Pit, Chess, Royal Rummy, Risk, Bogle, Scrabble, Scene It... This is a bad idea. I could go on forever.

Yeah. My family loves games.

The “neighborhood” games don't stand out in my mind as much, but I remember playing kick the can, we went through a double dutch jump rope phase, roller skating (is that a game? Or a sport?!?). Mostly, with my friends, though, I remember playing with toys, Fisher Price Little People (back when they were small enough to swallow—it's amazing we lived to adulthood), Barbies, playing house (“you got to be the mom last time!!!”) etc.

I love games. I wish I could play more. But, maybe it wouldn't be quite so special to play games at holiday gatherings if I did it all the time. Who knows!
