Back in Time - Battleship
 |
| Nancy & Brenda playing Battleship Denver, CO approx. 1977 |
From the photo you can see that Brenda was a worthy opponent, as it appears she had found two of my ships and I'd found two/three of hers. Based on Judy's photo, it looks like technology has changed the game a bit, but the concept is still the same.
Some games I've enjoyed playing over the years include:
Battleship
Aggravation
Sequence
Kismet
Farkle
Mill
Canasta
Dominos, especially Mexican Train
What are some of your favorite games?
Mom and Dad came over every Saturday night for years to play dominoes. Those were some great times. I sure miss them.
ReplyDeleteCute picture. I could never get into Battleship, though my little brother enjoyed it a lot. I used to play Monopoly with my brothers, and we all love Scrabble. I also like Cribbage.
ReplyDeleteWe used to play Battleship with our kids too, but not the electronic version. We played various card games, Monopoly, Life, Scrabble. I always enjoy a good game of Scrabble but it's hard to get people to play. Now we mostly play Dominoes with our best friends on date night once a month.

When we were first married we loved to play Risk with a group of friends. And we played lots of Scrabble until I got tired of being defeated. LOL
ReplyDeleteWith our kids we played a lot of Monopoly, Battleship, and Candyland. Now with the grandkids we've done Chutes and Ladders and Candyland. The oldest is just learning to play Battleship.
I was a great game player with my kids and we still love to play when we are able!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun prompt! You are a great aunt because you'd play the games!!! Kids love that. !! We played: monopoly, (lasted forever) Sorry! , Trivial pursuit and Kids Twenty Questions.
ReplyDeleteWhen Stephen lived at home we played a lot of Trivial Pursuit.
ReplyDeleteWe played Battleship, Sorry, and a few card games when he was younger.
Do you remember playing Battleship with a pencil and paper?!
ReplyDeleteI think my brother and I had that exact same battleship set - it belonged to our dad so it would have been from the '70s.
ReplyDeleteWe played a lot of cards. Dad and his friends were always playing cribbage, so they taught us too (and I can tell you, no other kids our age knew how to play). Dad also taught us Chess very young - which made us really good in jr high when a math teacher decided to teach the whole class.
We played a lot of Monopoly, and Mom loved Scrabble, so there was a lot of that too.
My brother's been instilling the love of board games in his girls - they go to thrift stores in search of new ones all the time!
Our girls had battleship, it was a great game. We do play sequence sometimes and all my Grands like Mexican Train:)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I haven’t played battleship for years.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun photo...I love that pictures capture treasured memories. We are a game loving family...Scrabble, Monopoly, Cribbage, SkipBo, Spades, and Set are all favorites.
ReplyDeleteMy brother and I used to play Battleship and Hangman using pencil & paper. Fun times.
