If you played them, what was your favorite board game when you were young?

Chess. It still is. I learned it young from an uncle who was very good at it, and I also became good at it. University champion.

It depends who I was playing.

If it was my cousin ... I didn't like playing any board game.
No matter what it was, he always won.
The worse were CLUE and STRATEGO ... he would win in under 5 turns.

Anybody else, I enjoyed playing LIFE.

Monopoly and scrabble were both my favorite games..

Monopoly

Sorry (although I rarely won)

I loved, and excelled in, Chinese Checkers. 

We played every board game you can imagine when I was growing up.  My own family had games on the dining table a good part of the time as well.  There is nothing that requires power to compare.

Way too many board games I loved for me to pick just one. 

Both Mom and Dad played the games with us a lot. but more so, we three siblings had a blast playing together. That's probably why Mom and Dad got so many board games for us -- they saw how much we adored playing.

 

  In this order, which is also the order in which I learned how to play them: checkers, chess, Chinese checkers, Monopoly, Battleship (I’m not sure if that last one counts as a board game). My elder brother loved the game Sorry, it was his favorite.
