I loved operation although I was scared of the noise it made! We bought a new buckaroo and operation about 4 years ago and they haven't changed much at all. In Germany operation is called Dr Bibber.

Escape from Colditz was a favourite in my house...only problem was that my older brother always made me be the guards, while he was always the POWs trying to escape...never caught him once!

Risk was another favourite and could last for weeks on end as we would just put all our opposing armies on two continents and wait for the first one to crack...

Go - loved that game as well...reminds me of Sunday evenings with all the family...nice times...

Re: Fave Board Games From olden days of yaw

I never liked board games much, though I had a few bought as Christmas presents etc. I tended to like the old ones best, like Snakes and Ladders, Tiddlywinks and Ludo. Had Cluedo (never worked out how to play it), Monopoly (too long and boring) and Scrabble (too much like hard work). But Guess Who...now you're talking! - although technically it's not really a board game!

I also won a game called big money, but can only remember it had big gold and silver coins,about the size of a wagon wheel but twice as thick...anyone know it?

Just came across the answer 4 years later, but it seems it was called top the lot, though it does say 'Big Money' on the green cloth note and on the plastic coins.


Slightly strange though as all other picture of the game I can find the contents match the picture on the lid of the box those red 'n' blue disc's look slightly different to me?? they look to have a lip/rim making them more easy to stack



Maybe the money one was a special edition, but surely they'd have made a box to match!!

sorry, frustration, connect 4, stay alive, cluedo, guess who, and numbers up.

Re.cluedo.The Telegraph reports (15 august) that the old format from the 1950s will be scrapped ie. the characters and the very English country house.Pretty much the whole enjoyment of the game being transported into an Agatha Christie novel from the 1950s,i would have thought.Well I have seen the new character cards (six chavs) and the house will be something like Rooney Towers eg. the Billiard Room will be replaced by a Spa.I think they have got some work experience kid on the redesign of this one.Or am I out of touch with modern tastes?Is Rooney Towers and a house party of chavs more fun than the starchy characters and Old Vicarage from the 1950s?

I always loved playing
Risk
Escape from atlantis
Uno

and monopoly, although my sister and I were too young initially to be bothered to read and understand the instructions so we spent some months playing exactly how we wanted
