My favorite games of all time:
1. Mousetrap – the boardgame. This is the game I remember loving as a kid because I had to save up and buy it myself when I was about 10 years old.
Image via Wikipedia2. Shadowrun – a roll-playing game we played in the early nighties for a few weeks. We had used up our enthusiasm for Dungeons and Dragons. Shadowrun, in a few words, is Blade Runner meets Dungeons and Dragons. Very cool. Requires your full attention and creativity.
3. Crazy 8’s – the card game my mom taught me and my kids are learning. Best thing: No batteries.

http://howrse.com is a horse breeding online game for kids who sit at the computer too long. Eek.
ShadowRun is a great game. I wish I had played more of it myself.
My kids and I play Crazy 8s. =)
Thanks for sharing!
Shadowrun sounds like an awesome game. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
Shadowrun sounds fun. Crazy 8's is crazy fun. 🙂 Nice meeting you.
Oh, wow. Mousetrap. THAT really sends me back.
Looks like the entire family loves games. That's great!
Thanks for sharing.
If I ever played role-playing games (not referring to video games), Shadowrun would be my top choice!
mousetrap was one of my favorites, but I could never make the trap work properally
