Top 5 Classic Board Games
|
by Mike Singh
If you were to make a list of your favorite indoor
board games what would you include? Would chess be
one of them? Or are you Life or Scrabble fan? There
are a large number of board games that are classics
and have stood the test of time. These people often
have a large collection of them and they are always
looking for something new. But, the fact is, that
some games are must-haves. These games have transcended
generations and we hold them dear to our hearts. This
list has been compiled after aggregating results from
several sources.
Our global top 5 list is:
1. Monopoly:
This is one of the world's most well known board
games. The game is a game of real estate, purchasing
property, developing it and then making sure others
lose their money before you do. This board game has
a number of different versions to reach from young
kids to the most sophisticated of all professionals.
There are deluxe editions as well as fun loving Disney
editions, sports editions, and even cat and dog-opoly!
One or more of the various flavors of this game is
likely to hang around for years to come.
2. Scrabble:
Another classic that has diehard followers. A
lot of people start playing scrabble to improve their
vocabulary. In this game, the goal is to outwit the
other player, scoring more points by creating more
high-scoring words. A game that most people fall in
love while they are just picking up the English language.
Some of these hang around and make a career of it.
The true testament that this game is truly global
is that the current world champion hails from Thailand.
3. Chess:
Chess goes as far back as the 7th century. The
game is strategy at its best. It is one game that
many will study, learn, and spend a life learning
again. It's a game you learn to love as you pick up
more strategies with time. Chess has an extremely
large following of people.
4. Checkers:
Checkers is another popular board game. Everyone
recognizes the black and red checkered board and it
is one of the simplest of games to learn. It has been
around since about the 1500's where people began playing
with far less interesting pieces.
5. Life:
This is a relatively newer game in comparison
to the other four. This is designed to be, well, like
real life. Go through and make choices that will eventually
effect what you can and cannot do in life. A game
with plenty of options and each choice will take you
in a completely different direction. This game and
its different varieties such as the Simpson's version
continue to hold promise for many years to come.
