It's built in to the games section when you get windows 7. You just select your skill level and then you're connected anonymously to someone of similar skill.
I'm sure there are other sites though. Maybe I'll have a look around later.

I love Balderdash and Mad Gab.
Used to like monopoly as a kid, but my sis always won. Also, I know its not a board game, but the card game Spoons is awesome! Most of the time it gets kinda violent and thats when its the best.

I've woken up bruised the day after having played Spoons.

We play a card game called 'Pass The Trash' (aka 'Fuck Your Buddy), and a dice game called 'Greedy' Or 'Greed'. Rules are prolly in the Google, I'm too lazy to post them.

Not a board game, but my friends and I play Left Right Center.
Starts with 3 quarters each, last quarter on the table wins the pot. You could play with dollars or anything. http://www.toycrossing.com/lcr/ |

I love this thread.
I have restrained myself from posting until now, because I have several board games and games of other sorts. I post now because I just added a new game to my collection, really a deck of cards suitable (ha) for numerous games. Are there any Hanafuda players out there?

My abiding memory of board games as a kid is that other people's board games were always more interesting.
We had loads. Monopoly and Cluedo, and Snakes and Ladders, Draughts, and Ludo and Trivial Pursuits, Connect Four and that game with the mystery faces, and Scrabble and Boggle, and Scruples (great fun for all the family, or grounds for divorce: you choose) and stuff that lit up and stuff that made noises and games with notepads and little pens. But ahhhh....my cousins had Mousetrap! and Bucking Bronco, and Operation and KerPlunk. And my best friend had Game of Life, and a pirate treasurehunt game with little chests full of miniature ingots and maps with X marking the spot.

We played on a board which I think may have been the first ever sold in the UK. Some of the banknotes were genuine forgeries - Dads always was superb at copying other people's work; hence our "Disney" frieze. I can only assume enough were lost over the years to make the game unstable without replacements. Also I have NEVER, in any other set, seen the pieces we played with. Thinking now, they must have been replacements. D'oh! Why didn't I ever question the fact no-one else had a bulldozer in their set? And the fact my favourite piece was the train, which was blue and looked like a TGR. So I accept now our board was obviously discoloured, as well as the other issues. Quote:

Guilty.
Sorry - I mean I like you and all that, but sentence has been passed. You are no longer eligible to vote in Cellar polls. I PM'd Mr Undertoad about it.

I have lately been spending time with another unemployed friend who loves games, we've been playing Wordfeud (it's like Scrabble) online on her iPad and my Android phone, and also have been playing cribbage in person and online the same way. I also taught her backgammon, and once we find a version that will play on both devices, we'll play that as well.
