Favorite 5 Friday: Board Games

Once there was a time my sister had a LEGO board game. You chose a set of LEGO instructions from a random pile and then rolled to see who could build their item faster. It was a ton of fun. But the thought of missing National LEGO day, and thinking about board games. I knew exactly what I wanted my Favorite Friday 5 was for today! I want to talk about my favorite board games.

Life 
Life has been and always will be my all-time favorite board game. I've played both the My Little Pony Version of Life and the regular version. The original version will always be my favorite, even if I did need two cars to fit all of my rowdy children in!

Cootie
As an adult, I still remember all my fun memories playing the game Cootie with my sister. Rolling the dice and collecting pieces for my cootie bug was exciting. The newer version of the game doesn't look as exciting as the original version, but I think that's the same with any game really, you can't top the originals.

Disney Trivia
I remember the day I set my eyes on the Disney Trivia game at the Disney store in Illinois. It was the exact game I wanted for my birthday. I don't know how many times I've actually played the game since I've lost count. I am and always will be, a Disney nerd!

Scattergories
Being able to think of words that begin with a certain letter, while trying not to get the same answer as your opponent, kept my mind sharp. I've attempted to play the Scattergories app that they had, and it didn't have the same appeal that the board game or even the computer game had.

Candy Land
Yet another children's game, with so many memories tied into it. Draw a card and move to the next place where they have the shape that's on the card. I've always liked the game because it's straight forward and very easy to play.
