  • Favourite board game?

    Just seen this new version of Monopoly - looks fun!

    BBC NEWS | UK | Monopoly gets 'stately' makeover




    Monopoly gets 'stately' makeover...as the National Trust launches its version of Monopoly.

    Cheshire's Lyme Park, where Colin Firth's Mr Darcy emerged dripping from the lake, replaces Mayfair as the most expensive property. Old Kent Road becomes 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool, the childhood home of Sir Paul McCartney. London's top shopping streets are replaced by dramatic landscapes...

    The Trust is the first charity to get its own version of the iconic game.
    "Sales of the game go directly to helping us look after the real versions of the special places on the board," says Fiona Reynolds, director general of the National Trust.

    And a heaven in a wild flower

        My favourite is chess.
        I once met a friend in a café in France (Chamonix Mont Blanc) for a few drinks and a game of chess before grabbing some food and then meeting a crowd for a night out.

        Three games later (1-1-1 I think the score was, or possibly 2-1 to him) we were both so completely exhausted we went back to our flat and slept for about 14 hours.

        Brilliant game when you've got a good opponent of a similar level.

            Monopoly is, without a doubt, the favourite board game of the snuffer family. Believe it or not my youngest son owns more than 180 different versions of the game. This new one will definately be on his shopping list.
            It is the doom of man, that they forget.

                  We like Cluedo - who done it and all that! My youngest daughter is usually Miss Scarlett, my son is Colonel Mustard, OH is Rev Green and I oscillate between Mrs White (the housekeeper) or Mrs Peacock (the glam older lady).

                    Scrabble. play it on the computer, have it on my nintendo and have a travel set which we take on holiday.

                    And when your back stops aching,
                    And your hands begin to harden.
                    You will find yourself a partner,
                    In the glory of the garden.
