Top 5 Classic Board Games
If you were to make a list of your favorite indoor board games
what would you include? Would chess be one of them? Or are you
Life or Scrabble fan? There are a large number of board games
that are classics and have stood the test of time. These people
often have a large collection of them and they are always
looking for something new. But, the fact is, that some games are
must-haves. These games have transcended generations and we hold
them dear to our hearts. This list has been compiled after
aggregating results from several sources. Our global top 5 list
is:
1. Monopoly: This is one of the world's most well known board
games. The game is a game of real estate, purchasing property,
developing it and then making sure others lose their money
before you do. This board game has a number of different
versions to reach from young kids to the most sophisticated of
all professionals. There are deluxe editions as well as fun
loving Disney editions, sports editions, and even cat and
dog-opoly! One or more of the various flavors of this game is
likely to hang around for years to come.
2. Scrabble: Another classic that has diehard followers. A lot
of people start playing scrabble to improve their vocabulary. In
this game, the goal is to outwit the other player, scoring more
points by creating more high-scoring words. A game that most
people fall in love while they are just picking up the English
language. Some of these hang around and make a career of it. The
true testament that this game is truly global is that the
current world champion hails from Thailand.
3. Chess: Chess goes as far back as the 7th century. The game is
strategy at its best. It is one game that many will study,
learn, and spend a life learning again. It's a game you learn to
love as you pick up more strategies with time. Chess has an
extremely large following of people. 4. Checkers: is another
popular board game. Everyone recognizes the black and red
checkered board and it is one of the simplest of games to learn.
It has been around since about the 1500's where people began
playing with far less interesting pieces.
5. Life: This is a relatively newer game in comparison to the
other four. This is designed to be, well, like real life. Go
through and make choices that will eventually effect what you
can and cannot do in life. A game with plenty of options and
each choice will take you in a completely different direction.
This game and its different varieties such as the Simpson's
version continue to hold promise for many years to come.
