We recently got the Scrabble game out and have been playing it almost every night. I love it because it's different every time. If you like board games, what Is your favorite ?

Since DH hates board games, I play "Scrabble" on line called Words with Friends. Any day, I may have 20 - 30 games started with as many people from all over the globe.

Always Scrabble , since I was a little girl in the 50's. I loved

playing Scrabble with my grandmother. Now, only my grown son and a long time friend are the ones who will play. My husband won't. He knows he can't win.

Whenever my brother would come into town to visit, he would always get out our Trivial Pursuit game. I swear he had memorized every question and every answer imaginable. I never came close to beating him. Why would anyone know what size socks Ty Cobb wore?

My DH also hates all board games. He disappears when a lot of family comes over....we love board games on my side of the family...his side never played them growing up; won't even try them......only poker they consider a board game.

We like Scattergories and will be playing it when we have our family Christmas lunch here on December 18th. Though not a board game, BINGO with prizes too. We just bought a dice game called For-Get-It. It's fun & easy for anybody to learn. 2,3, or more can play it.

Monopoly! But people won't play with me. I am ruthless and I win.

@Sooner I'd play with you - win or lose.

Hate Scrabble - I need action. With Scrabble you have to sit and listen to the

clock on the wall Tick....while you're opponent holds chin in hand and (quietly) thinks and thinks & thinks.

I'd rather go clean the bathroom!

@fthunt Good! I buy quickly, build and then take all your money! It won't last long! LOL!!!

I'm like you about Scrabble though. Just put some letters down and get on with it! My husband thinks and thinks trying to make a big word or something unusual. I have no shame and throw down some letters for high points. And I win.

But he looks smarter.

Scrabble is fun. I like Mexican Train which is a domino game. Have tried to enjoy Monopoly, but it bores me. Perhaps that's because we never had enough people in the family to get a really good game going.

Backgammon! DH taught me how to play @40 years ago and I've been hooked ever since!

I like word games, but I never cared for Scrabble. Don't know why. I have two shelving units in the basement full of board games, and one game we can always agree on is Ticket to Ride. It's a simple game kids could play, but everyone likes it.

I love Scrabble. Have you read Word Freak by Stephen Fatsis? It's about competitive Scrabble players and is very interesting. I highly recommend it for Scrabble lovers.

Some of my friends take WAY TOO LONG with Scrabble....we tell them we've could have read the entire novel of "War And Peace" with what it took them to put down their word.....😄😄😄 But I do enjoy playing it online with robot opponents!

My FAVORITES are: Domionoes (Mexican Train), Scattegories, and Trivial Pursuit.
