I could be up for that. You got Mario Kart? That's another game I'd enjoy kicking your ass in.

I got it on Wii a few months back. Found a pretty good deal on it and traded in some old stuff that I never played anyway. My brother actually rather likes it too, but we're just more inclined to play on his giant, beautiful television. You can also play against the computer, of course.

I had several Napoleonic based war games...but probably enjoyed Panzer Blitz the most.

Absolutely! I've never done the online gaming thing, but I'm totally in. I'm headed out of town for a few days this afternoon, but will holler about it when I get back.

Boggle was fun when I was a kid. Probably still is, but I haven't played it in years.

We didn't play a lot of Boggle in my family, but we did play Clue and Mastermind.
I wasn't ever really into Yahtzee! either, but my best friend and his wife remedied that recently. We play pretty often...that's a good one.

My best friend and I played Stratego a lot as kids. And monopoly. He always one, until I figured out he was a big fat cheater. He stole money, and he marked the back of my statego pieces. No wonder I always was the same color.

There are several good ones on here, to which I would like to add Mouse Trap.

Mouse Trap always looked super duper cool to me, but my family never had it. Every time I asked a friend who did have it if we could play, they'd always tell me it wasn't worth the trouble of putting it all together, so I've never actually seen the contraption in action. :(

Tis true, it's a pain. But it's fun nonetheless.

Oh, Yahtzee! It's a/k/a BUNCO!

I was in a Bunco group in San Jose. I LOVE Bunco!

I had Mouse Trap. Who cared about the game? It was all about setting it off! Rube Goldberg beware. :-bd
