Board Games

Can someone explain to me scattegories?

The Star Swordsman - The rules of the game are rather sketchy to me, as I haven’t played it in ages, but here is a link that explains the basic function of the game:

Scattergories (on Amazon)

Scroll down to where it says “Product Description”. Badda-bing!

It’s the only game that has a 20-sided dice piece! How cool can you get? :wink:

– Mitch

oh, i see how to play.

and it isn’t the only 20 side dice game. Dungeons and Dragons uses a 20 sided dice.

Really? Oh, how cool! You learn something new every day. Heheh. :wink:

has any one here played dungeons and dragons?

I think that game is a little…um, controversial The Star Swordsman. :wink:

What’s so controversial about Dungeons and Dragons?

Or Dungarees and Dragons, as a friend of mine so aptly put it. :laughing:

Okay, well, what other kinds of board games do you all like?

Twister is pretty cool. Really fun.

Twister sounds like an easy game. Sometimes, my siblings way make it harder is by using every body part instead of the hands and feet, but we like playing the classic way the best.

Twister is a huge ball of fun! :stuck_out_tongue:

I enjoy Life and especially Monopoly. I kinda like those games that take awhile :slight_smile: I also have this game called Casinopoly which can be played by itself or as an add-on to Monopoly. Once you roll the dice, if you choose you can split your roll between the two boards. That way you can buy properties and try and make more money by playing casino games. It’s got 4 of them-Slots, Craps, Blackjack, and Roulette. Or course, that can make Monopoly even longer (or shorter, if you arent lucky at gambling and you go broke!)

lennonluvr9 - “Craps”? :laughing:

You neever heard of Crpas before Mitch? It is a dice game. Really popular.

The Star Swordsman - Actually, I had heard of it before (a long time ago), but only know do I realize that the name of it is rather…“vulgar”. (snigger) :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh I see. My bad then.

Mitch- Actually, a little nugget of information here- the origin of the word, also known as the game ‘craps’, is something to do with the man who invented the toilet, called Thomas Crapper. I don’t know why I know that. :laughing:

Aaanyway, back on topic…Games like snap can be pretty fun, but simple. I’d love to learn some more card games though, like Blackjack.

There are two ways to play black jack. THere is a way by using only two cards, then you get two cards and you can call hits or stay.

The Star Swordsman - No sweat, dude. :wink:

Oh yeah, my mom told me that! Heheh. The poor guy never saw it comin’… :laughing:
