it is of course, okay for you to criticize anybody you wish. Isn't it okay for me to voice a different opinion?

Sure. Whenever you actually have one. Meanwhile, do you have to pay rental for using other people's?

OH! My family used to play "The Dictionary Game" every single Thanksgiving, which I found out years later is basically Balderdash except you have to look up your own weird words instead of having a deck of cards to draw good ones from. I loved that game.

I picked up a webster's 1859 dictionary at a tag sale it was awesome for Fictionary, There were so many old, odd words that were no longer used and a lot of common words had completely different meanings. I am sorry I gave it away.

Hmm, apparently I'm not the only Brit in the US who remembers Shipping

(I searched my email and found a reply from my dad about the game with enough details to google this....)

The game on Ebay they link to, though, is an American version called "Ship Ahoy". There is a game called Shipping, same year, same idea.....

footfootfoot · 04-15-2011, 08:30 AM

It's from "Comfort and Joy" by Bill Forsyth. Gregory's Girl, Local Hero, etc.

We played all the usuals growing up. I hated Trivial Pursuit. Always did and probably always will. I am just not good at trivia. Loved Risk, Axis and Allies and Monopoly. We play a game sometimes called Settlers of Catan. It's pretty addictive.

I really want to play Settlers of Catan with my family. I keep meaning to buy it, but $40 wow. Do you play the basic game, or do you need to get the extensions, kerosene?
