They definitely still sell it. I don't think it's too old but I don't know. I've had it since I was a teenager which wasnt that long ago lol

I looked it up. Apparently it was invented in 1981. I remember seeing it back in the day. The original was 8x8, the new one 10x10. They still sell it, and I guess a retro 8x8.

1981? I wasn't even thought of back then lol I think ours is a 10x10...8x8 would be really small. It's just a nice change from the ordinary.

Had the first of multiple game days at church this last week, and it went well. Learned a game I had never played, Jokers and Pegs, on a homemade board. It is similar to Trouble, but uses cards instead of dice.

Played some Catch Phrase as well which is great seeing the different approaches in communication.

Our family is recently on a chess-playing kick as well, with everyone playing each other and keeping a tally of wins.

Any ideas for some good games to add to our collection for Christmas? We've been looking into Exploding Kittens LOL I've watched some reviews and it looks like fun. :)

If you like games with exploding kittens you might like a game I heard about (but haven't played), Organ Attack. You each get an organ then others try to inflict conditions on your organs.

Sounded rather creepy to me, but the guy claimed it was great fun.

Give me a Hammond B-3 with Leslies. With the right amping, I could blow any other organ off the stage.

:) :) :)

It does sound really weird but also intriguing. I can see my family really enjoying this...might even be educational in a strange way. Thanks :)

It would be nice if americans still played board games. Most people don't seem to have time anymore. I won so many but no one wants to play. :(

That said I love tons of board games from Risk, to Uno, to even Solitare.

I hear ya. None of my siblings wanted to play so I played RPGs instead.
