Thanks everyone also who has given their input in this current thread and the more input the better.
Yayyy....It really isn't that old of a thread!

I'm trying to remember to tag all the threads that interest me so they don't 'disappear.'

I have lots of fond memories playing this game!
Wendy thanks for the reminder about Aggravation. I haven't thought about it in decades but my grandmother LOVED that game. I always played it with her when I was a kid.

I don't have direct experience, but I think the Richard Scarry Busy Town Eye Found it and the Airport games would be fun. (Saw them reviewed on Mel's Kitchen Cafe some years ago, reminded me that my niece's kids are old enough for these now.)

thanks for the tip.

America Says has an online option for free. after round 3, you have to watch one of the ads by their sponsors to continu playing.

I recommend Wingspan. We got it last winter and it was fun to play during the pandemic when we were stuck in the house. My husband got me the European expansion pack for my birthday in Sept (haven't used it yet) and the Oceania expansion pack is coming out soon. It is for ages 10+

We also have the Pandemic games but I hadn't ever played it and was in no mood to do so after coronavirus hit. However on a short family getaway this summer we did play it. It was OK. It is a cooperative game so for those with hypercompetitive gamers, this one might be good.

I'm glad I could bring you a fond memory.

Code Names is great for a group. There is an online version of Scrabble called: Word Chums. It is adorable, with funny characters, etc. Rummikub is fun.

I also like the German games: Ticket to Ride, Keltis, etc. I have hated Monopoly ever since I was a kid.
