lots of softball, badminton, checkers, Monopoly (we had a non-stop game one summer that went on for days!), Clue, Authors cardgame, Canasta (my g-ma was a champ and no mercy!); Tripolgy, and Detective. My DH and I played a lot of Scamble, dominoes and Avalon Hill (strategy) games when kids little--not we sit around on our computers too much!
