[P.C.]

Hmmm....not sure SD.   Boobytrap?

[Sportsdude]

no it was macala something  

[P.C.]

Sounds interesting SD....I don't think I've heard of it.  But that's not the one either.  (if you think of it, let me know.....I'm curious)

[Sportsdude]

I will I know where to find it, I'll go looking for it tomorrow.
Another childhood game I played was Mill but I doubt that's the answer.
 

[P.C.]

Now you've got me REALLY curious.  I've not heard of that one either. (reports please....lol)

[Sportsdude]

  Sure I played Mill with my grandpa growing up. It was the game to play apparently in Hungary  when he was a kid.  Game is sort of extinct now.

lol I was searching for a description for Mill and I found the game I was talking about earlier. Mancala. lol

First Mill

[font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2"] This classic two-player game has been played for some 3000 years. Your goal is to strategically reduce your opponent down from nine marbles to only two. Constructed of solid oak and beautiful glass marbles, it's an attractive accent to any décor.

Now Mancala
[/font][font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="2"]
The Ancient Game of Strategy from Africa. For thousands of years, Mancala's simple rules and challenging strategy have made it the world's most popular game. This solid wood set features three sets of rules, glass beads, and a storage box. The object is to collect the most beads in your large mancala bowls by sequentially dropping stones around the board.

Is it Yahtzee?

[P.C.]

I love Yahtzee !  Not it.

  SD....those games look wonderful.  The second one looks like little cups of runes....lol

Any game that you played with grandpa is a good game.  

  BUT....those aren't it either.

[Lazy Isis]

Twister or Mousetrap?  

[Schadenfreude]

 The second best selling game of all time is _______



Chinese checkers?

  Crokinole?

   

[Schadenfreude]

Oh o Domino?

[P.C.]

Nopes all round.

  MOUSETRAP !  My friend had that when I was a kid.....and I think I had Mousetrap envy.  And that commercial......those kids were having WAY too much fun.  Today those kinds of things still fascinate me.  Like that Honda commercial. (always makes me think of Mousetrap)
