I used to love the classic games, Monopoly, Clue, etc., when I was a youngster. They mostly had a good balance of skill and luck. The ones that were all or mostly luck, like Chutes and Ladders, Sorry, and the cursed Candyland, were just irritating and not much fun. And I was never much good at the all-skill games like chess. I like the balance.
I never cared to play for blood. The men in my family did, and they liked Risk. I spent most of my time being slaughtered.
Later on I played hundreds of hours of Backgammon and cribbage with my husband and enjoyed them. But it’s been ages.
Do you count Mastermind as a board game? I guess that might be my favorite now, looking back.
Q: Anybody here ever play crokinole?
