Love a good board game. Cards too. Unfortunately my habit of being fiercely competitive makes it hard to find partners. (My kids stopped playing with me after a rather tragic Scattergories incident) ??‍

Had a whole bunch of Avalon Hill and Victory games titles myself, late 70's through mid-80's.

Favorite of all time is the Mad Magazine board game! I still have all the parts! Clue and the dark tower are favorites as well

Never died out for me as I've been active in board games all my life.

Currently attend a weekly board game group that meets at a local pub
A board game cafe just opened in town as well.

Hard to pick a favorite game as I enjoy the social interaction of the game. Can be just as happy explaining a game to newcomers as I am playing a game with others.

I teach high school, and frequently bring in board games for the students to play at lunchtime. The kids really like the social interaction of the games. Currently, I have a group playing a strategy game centered around the "Big Three" Allied leaders in WWII.

Oh gosh we always play these board games at the senior center, it can get cutthroat sometimes, we are not allowed to bring our canes to the table anymore. They had to ban gambling also, some people were betting their depends and losing, phew! Good games though; Chutes and Ladders, CandyLand , Game of Life, Operation, Battleship.

I love Scrabble. Learned bluffing at the feet of the Master: my older sister. Lynne used Latin roots of words to make up words that sounded real. She explained the meaning. Challenge her at your peril.

Ambi- both, ambidextrous
Aud- to hear. auditory, audience
Bene- good. benefactor, benevolent

To make the game faster with satisfying, high scores, we kids created the Miller Family Rules. I still play by those rules. Adults love it.

Purists would disapprove.

I Board games. I used to own many. Now I am
down to Mostly trivia games. I miss playing board games but it’s hard to play board games when you live alone.

Also, there are multiple Meetup groups for board games in almost every medium to large metro areas, as well as college towns. St. Louis had about 5 Meetips per week for board gamers....but good luck agreeing on what to play.

I like trivia board games and Mario

Love ‘em(I’m from the dark ages, myself ?)
I’m a killer backgammon player: seriously, it once caused a breakup.

I never really had people to play with. Sure, I had Clue, trivial pursuit, scrabble, but they weren’t the same playing them alone. However, playing them alone, you learn to not favor the black checkers over the red, to remove emotion out of it. It’s hard to remove that bias, though. Play each side in checkers and try to set up a move that the opponent won’t counter. I think it may be impossible to play both sides to their fullest.

Risk is my jam. I have every version of it that I could lay my hands on.

Scrabble? Candyland? Battleship? Uno? Oh & the new CAH! ?

I still enjoy board games.

O' man ... I thought I was the only weird one left... Love board games, though didn't ever get to play them as much as I enjoyed doing so ... Video games, on the other hand, no sir, thank you very much, you can keep them. When I was in High school and college after that, way back in the Bronz Age, we played Risk, Diplomacy, Shogun, Junta, Kremlin, Conquest of the Empire, Axis and Allies, not to mention party games like Trivia, Scruples and, of course, card games, though I was never very good at Bridge. Also an avid chess fan ... and I've been amused to see a few friendships 'break-up' in Diplomacy...

I love the old Avalon Hill game Rail Baron. I also like some newer ones, in particular, Splendor and Dominion. Best thing about holidays was sitting around with close family, binging on those games. I miss that, a lot.

I love Steve Jackson Games for their roleplaying games as well as Munchkin and Castellan.

It is great that we have made a circle back around to board games. I grew up on a variety and still love to drag the friends around for them. Especially any role playing games.

I am a bridge player. Never liked video games.

It's not just that board games have come back (I question if they ever left), it's that they've evolved into a bit of a luxury. Kickstarter has some crazy examples of board games that can easily cost over $100 with elaborately molded figures, metal coins, and high-quality illustrations.

It's a welcome change, though my wallet may disagree. Fortunately, I live 4 blocks from a board game pub where I can go to play Scythe or Blood Rage and not have to buy those expensive games, though I honestly just spend the money I save on board games I want in my home.

I learned what good board and card games were like in the early '90s. Settlers of Catan kicked off a new interest, and I find it fascinating to see how games have evolved since then. I like both Euro and Ameritrash games.

Unlike most board game snobs, I do not hate on Monopoly. I do recognize it as not a great game, but I also know that it can be played within 2 hours if the rules are correctly followed.

I enjoy games played in a group. Also, the 17th century? Man those were the days

17th century ehh? Anyway I like them, it is just hard to get multiple people together to all play a game they either know how to play and/or enjoy at the same time. Hence, online video games and player vs computer video games. However, games like Monopoly and Risk are not the same without the group, pizza, beer, and "other stuff".

Settlers of Catan is always fun.
