Okay I should state right now that things like Buckaroo and Jenga which aren't technically 'board' games can be included here. Here are mine! 10. Guess Who Good game if played correctly. Funny game when you say "Does you look like a sex offender?" "Are you a gay man?" or other dumb questions. "Hmmm, are you Alfred?" "No" "Crap, let's start over"  9. Ker-Plunk Pretty fun game, though the marbles will eventually get lost...  8. Pop-Up Pirate A very good drinking game. Who ever pops up the pirate downs a drink.  7. Jenga An even better drinking game as the person who downs the drink starts to get more and more useless at the game and therefore more and more drunk.  6. Hungry Hungry Hippos Cath all the balls, catch all the balls!!!! Turns adults into giggling kids in seconds!  5. Contraband Sadly a little known game, but a family favorite.  4. Mousetrap Would be a perfect game.....if it didn't rely 100% on a roll of a dice...  3. Twister Another great party game, for fairly obvious reasons.  2. Monopoly Great game, shame it takes years...  1. Cluedo My favorite. You can play it without paying attention too much, but rewards really smart players.  Now 3 I can't stand! 3. Frustration- The clue is in the title. 2. Pictionary- Always ends in a big family argument. 1. Scrabble- Any game in which you need a dictionary isn't as fun as it thinks it is. How about yours? |

5. Contraband Sadly a little known game, but a family favorite. Tim, were you born in the 1930's? I'd offer my top ten, however I cant even think of ten board games I like, sorry  My favourite is Trivial Pursuit though, if that helps  |

I know the game looks old, I would like to know how old because I have that exact same edition of that Contraband- I am looking at it now, but it top fun. Indeed as it says on the box- A 'Fine' Game.
Trivia Pursuit is good fun, though my family never liked it. Stupid lot.

Well monopoly was banned in my parents house, it caused too many fights between my Dad and my brother. Monopoly is also banned in my marital home as it was leading to divorce...

Haha.
Sounds like our house during Pictionary. My Gran never understands the rules at the end of the game and won't listen to reason.
You seen the Simpsons episode where they all get into a fight over Monopolly and Chief Wigan turns up at the scene to be greeted by the hat playing piece being thrown out of the window "Another Monopolly related domestic dispute. How do those Parker brothers sleep at night?"

Monopolly? Is that a Polly with a case of Mono or do you mean monopoly woo?
Yeah as for the ten things, I'm like Kel don't have ten to list. Although once I had this fantastic board game based on the hit tv show The Bill. It came with a cap gun!

You both said you couldn't name 10 Games. Did you not notice that I already listed 10 games I like and 3 I don't and the fact you both listed 1 extra (even though I think it hard to imagine a game based on the Bill could possibly be any good) that means you already have 14 to choose from.
Okay here are some more since you can't remember any;
Operation
Mr. Pop
Battleships
Chess
Draughts
Backgammon
Ludo
Snakes and Ladders
Don't Wake Dad
Crocodile Dentist
Tell Me
Game of Life
Go For Broke
Risk
Mah Jong
Connect 4
Boggle
Ding Bats
Downfall
Pass The Pigs
Dare
Barrel of Monkeys
Now yo must be able to list 10, surely?

The bill game was fun.
Um no, none of those game are games that I'd consider fun. What about strip snakes and ladders?

Yeah that's fine...well not fine you clearly have issues but it is eligible for the list. I had Pop-Up-pirate and Jenga on my list because they are fun drinking games. So I guess yours now goes: 1. The Bill 2. Snakes and Ladders. Btw I guess you take an item of clothing off when you hit a snake? Oh I just thought of- Coppit, Uno and Top Trumps. |

1. Battleship
2. Risk
3. It's a race, it's a chase, hurry up and feed their face!
Who will win? No one knows! Feed the hungry hip-ip-pos!
Hungry hungry hippos! (open up and there it goes!)
4. Connect 4
5. Checkers
6. Jenga
7. Twister
8. Don't Break the Ice (basically Jenga with an ice-skating polar bear)
9. Clue
10. Ants in the Pants (I'll be honest, I have no idea what this is. I'm just rounding out my top ten to fulfill Woo's demands.)

lol. I love the Hungry Hippos song. I was just looking for more old school games and there is one called Mr. Bucket which is apprently famous for it's song which sounds quite rude;
That's right, I'm Mr. Bucket!
I'm Mr. Bucket, toss your balls in my top
I'm Mr. Bucket, out of my mouth they will pop
I'm Mr. Bucket!
We're all gonna run!
I'm Mr. Bucket! Buckets of fun!
Announcer: The game's Mr. Bucket! The first to get their balls into Mr. Bucket wins! But look out, 'cause the balls will pop out of his mouth!
I'm Mr. Bucket, balls pop out of my mouth
I'm Mr. Bucket, a ball is what I'm about
I'm Mr. Bucket!
We're all gonna run!
I'm Mr. Bucket! Buckets of fun!
Kid: I win, I win!
Buckets of fun!
Announcer: Mr. Bucket, from Milton Bradley
Buckets of fun!

I wonder if Mr. Bucket is a registered sex offender.

There's a commercial on YT? I'm going to have to find this.
I reckon he is, he's gotta be. He seems like he'd set off amber alert.

lol. I just watched it and I do actually remember seeing this game as a kid. Me and my mate Jay thought it looked really funny (funnily bad not like it looked like good fun).
If it weren't so perveted I would buy it for my sister. I think Hungry Hungry Hippos (or just Hungry Hippos as it's called over here for some gay reason) would be better.

My favourite is Trivial Pursuit though, if that helps
