I remember playing "Chinese Checkers" (probably politically incorrect!) with my Grandma when I was very young. My parents didn't approve of playing cards... but we played plenty of Racko, Monopoly, crokinole, Uno, checkers, snakes and ladders.
I love playing games now(DH not so much). My favourites are Balderdash, Probe, Scattergories, Taboo. I like online card games like Spades, Gin, Canasta...but I am not very good at them
