   When I was young I enjoyed playing dominoes with my grandfathers, and Uno with my parents. This would have been the 70s and early 80s

   Minion makes good games, I really think they will be the next Z-Man games.

   My favorite gaming memory would be learning a new game with our friend John. Every time he teaches us a new game, we find out (usually about a month or 3 years later) that we have been playing it wrong. It’s usually a minor rule that was over looked, but in the situation of Bohnanza we actually came to dislike the real rules.

   I remember playing games at my aunt and uncle’s house when I was a kid. Monopoly, Operation, Don’t Break the Ice, and that one with all the sticks going horizontally through a cylinder with a marble on top of them, removing one stick at a time until someone caused the marble to drop.

4. Thomas B. on 13.12.2011 at 16:13

   I remember playing cribbage with my grandfather, auction pitch with my grandmother, and TONS of board games with my parents & sisters!

   I loved playing Clue (and a host of games I’m too embarrassed to name) with my cousin at holiday gatherings. We were the youngest by a few years, so everyone was relieved if we amused ourselves at holiday gatherings.

   Though geography and family nonsense now interfere with us seeing each other at big family gatherings, we both love hosting big games nights for friends and family in our too-far-apart communities.

   My best gaming memories always come back to spending time with family. First when I was a kid playing games around the fireplace or at the kitchen table and now with my kids. We started when they were little, playing the typical family games like Life, Sorry, Clue, etc. As they got older, we introduced Catan, Ticket to Ride and many of the other excellent games that are available now. I hope more families discover the fun and great memories of playing with family. So much better than sitting around watching TV or other non-social pastimes. Thanks!

7. Benny Sperling on 13.12.2011 at 16:28

   That would be a great gift! Revolution! Was a favorite game of mine for quite a while! Very cool!

8. Max on 13.12.2011 at 16:35

   Every Christmas, either my cousin or I would have a new board game. Each year after the presents were opened we would break out all the new toys. I still remember the year I received Risk. I probably was just barely old enough to read the rules, and my cousin a few years younger. We spent more time trying to figure out how to play, than we did actually playing. We were too young to grasp the concept of defending our countries, and by the end of the first turn, we had each attacked with every available unit in every available country. after that the game gets pretty slow, and we thought it was dumb, that you could attack as many times as you wanted on your turn.(it never occurred to us that as many times as you “want”, and as many times as you “can” would be any different).

9. Simon Dorfman on 13.12.2011 at 16:37

   When I was a kid, my brother and I used to play my dad at backgammon every night. At some point he taught us chess and we played that every night. Good times.

10. Joshua Buerge on 13.12.2011 at 17:00

    Like Thomas B., cribbage was the family game growing up. I remember astonishing my uncle when I was 6 by not only playing competently but even beating him. From there, my grandfather and uncles never pulled any punches with me.

11. Jonathan Schindler on 13.12.2011 at 17:27

    I remember watching over his shoulder as my dad played Pinochle. I wanted nothing more than to be like him, and I remember the first time he stopped the game and began to teach me how to play. I was so thrilled that he did this, and Pinochle remains one of my favorites to this day (likely because of the good memories I have of playing with my dad).

12. George Miclea on 13.12.2011 at 17:32

    I’ve got so many wonderful memories gaming with my family through my childhood years in the 70’s and 80’s. I remember playing a lot of card games with my Mom like speed, war, and uno. I’ve got great memories of playing monopoly, sorry, mastermind, battleship, and a ton of other typical american games that many of us grew up with. Then came Risk and Stratego and the doors opened a bit wider to the world of games for me…the flood continued and my wife and I caught the euro gaming bug in 2000 with Settlers of Catan. Now…over ten years later…I am now introducing a flood of new and fun games to my 4 kids…including Battlelore, Memoir 44, Ticket to Ride, Nexus Ops, Pandemic, St. Petersburg, Dice Town, and hundreds of others! What a great hobby!

13. Misa Arant on 13.12.2011 at 17:49

    My mom’s parents played cards from time to time, but it’s really my dad’s side of the family that I “blame” for my love of gaming. They were into all sorts of card games and board games. I remember being in awe of my grandmother’s game closet. She’d converted the bathroom closet into one for games. I spent countless hours playing games with her (and the extended family, when they were around). Grandma Ellen had cancer, so games were good for times when she needed to rest. I have a copy of Jackstraws that I got from their closet after she and my grandfather died.

    My dad and my stepmother always played a game during dinner. When we were over, it was often Zilch/2000 or Yahtzee and I remember always feeling lucky when we were included.

    I’ve introduced my family to designer/Euro games. In fact, the sister I thought was least likely to be interested/good at it has become a big Dominion fan!

14. Gil Bellemare on 13.12.2011 at 18:02

    I have fond memories of when I managed to play Ticket to ride with all of my aunts and even my grandmother !

15. Danni Durante on 13.12.2011 at 18:19

    I remember when I was 13 yes old and my sister bought me Dungeons & Dragons for x-mas (much to my mothers chagrin). Who would have guessed it would have lead to such an obsession!

16. Kougar Singh on 13.12.2011 at 18:40

    The game that really got me into boardgames was settlers of catan (of course XD) when I was 11 or 12. My friends and I just played game after game. Of course later we realized we were playing wrong, but it was still tons of fun!

17. Ned Leffingwell on 13.12.2011 at 18:49

    When I was in third grade my family moved from Virginia to Illinois. Before the move I had bought TSR’s Marvel Superheroes Role Playing Game. When we got to our new house I made my mom and dad play through the introductory adventure with me GMing. I don’t think they quite got it, but hey, it was my first time being a GM.

18. Randy C. on 13.12.2011 at 19:08

    I just started making memories with my kids a few years ago – when I began getting them a new family board game every year for Christmas.

19. Thomas C on 13.12.2011 at 19:09

    My favorite memories involve my 10 year old, my wife and I all playing whatever we can get our hands on. Never played a lot of games as a kid, but my wife and I discovered we enjoy them and now are passing that along!

20. Pete Sellers on 13.12.2011 at 19:09

    I’ve been gaming since I was little, so I’ve got tons of different memories I could share. The one that tends to stick out in my memory, though, is the first time I ever played Stratego. I don’t know what it was about the game, but as a six year old, it was the greatest thing I’d ever discovered. My Grandfather brought it out almost every time I came over and we’d play it for hours! We eventually moved on to bigger, better games, but wow, the times spent play Stratego were some of the best! I still love that game…

21. Greg Parkinson on 13.12.2011 at 19:19

    We played a lot of board games in my family when we were younger, mostly kids games and a ton of Monopoly. My favourite memory though would be playing Risk with my best friend at the time and what came to be my cousins. What was memorable about this game was the tenacity with which we kept up that game. We had that game set up for weeks before we were able to finish it. (as memorable an experience as that was, I have no idea who ended up winning – go figure)

22. Pattie connell on 13.12.2011 at 19:24

    Love playing games,look forward to any new games in the works

23. Peter on 13.12.2011 at 19:31

    Missed out on this one on Kickstarter and really regret it. Would love to get a copy in time for the holidays.

    Games were always a big thing in my family–at least with Dad and my brothers. Dad was into strategy war games, but we’d also play railroad games and some of his 3M and Avalon Hill bookshelf games (Acquire, Civilization). Mom was never much of a gamer, though. So when I brought home Ticket to Ride one Christmas, I was surprised she agreed to play. She ended up winning (taking a picture of the board to capture the moment), and it’s one of the few games she will play. It’s become sort of a Thanksgiving tradition in our family.

24. Brian Frahm on 13.12.2011 at 19:43

    Looks like a great game! I have fond memories of playing the standard games with family – Life, Monopoly, etc. Probably the best memories were of playing UNO with multiple decks of cards with about 20 family members – the laughter and conversation trumped the game, but the memories are what last!

25. Patrick Nickell on 13.12.2011 at 19:52

    I remember when I was 7 years old sitting at the dinning room table with my grandma, on my grandma’s and grandpa’s farm, learning the game of cribbage. This was where my love of games took hold of me. I was fascinated by the pegs in the board leap frogging each other. Good memories with my grandma.

26. A. Tremblay on 13.12.2011 at 19:54

    I’m always anxious to go back to my parents home for a week during holiday season. This is the time where we can all get together to play boardgames days and night. New games are often part of the exchange gifts and I always bring my favorites. We have played Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, The pillars of earth, Cranium, Citadels, The werewolves, Corsari, Scrabble, Monopoly deal, Carcassonne, etc… I’m anxious to see what new games I will get this year as games were in all my wishlists.

27. Sam on 13.12.2011 at 20:32

    My fondest memories of gaming are always from Shabbat. My wife and I have spent plenty a Friday night teaching Time’s Up! to our guests and playing until far too late at night.

28. J. Neil on 13.12.2011 at 20:42

    I was always the gamer in my family. As a real little kid mom would go to thrift stores (she called them “Junk Stores”) and wouldn’t leave until her hands passed over every single item in the place. This would leave me finding something…anything to do…so off to the games I would go. I’d find the ones I was interested in and began inventorying them. As that would not nearly fill the time I had to kill off I’d try and get someone to play the game with me or even run a solo game there on the floor of the toy section of the store.

29. Andrew on 13.12.2011 at 20:42

    As a child, I used to love to play Clue. I was, in fact, obsessed with getting to be Professor Plum. Because I liked the color purple. This went fine until one day my cousin decided she wanted to be the good Professor. Needless to say, six year old me did not respond well.

30. tomg on 13.12.2011 at 20:56

    Last year I got Ticket, Settlers, and a couple more games from ‘Santa’. My kids were as excited as I was. That was pretty cool.
    Thanks for the contest.

31. John Kaufeld (@johnkaufeld) on 13.12.2011 at 21:09

    Some of my favorite college memories come from my gaming group. We played Empire Builder and Acquire endlessly during the week, and then switched to role-playing for Friday and Saturday. Our games gave us many, many hours of laughter, creativity, strategy, and friendship!!!

32. Adam on 13.12.2011 at 21:10

    First real gaming memory was sitting down to a game of Axis and Allies with friends. Such a fun game to explore. First deep game I played.

33. Nolan on 13.12.2011 at 21:11

    I remember as the youngest brother, I had to watch my two older brothers as they had a tendency to cheat at cards games like Skip-Bo and Phase 10. Once my naivete passed, it was harder for them to get away with it.

34. C. Nicholas Stock on 13.12.2011 at 21:24

    I was in 8th grade or so, on a trip with my family to costa rica, and that was really the first time I actually got deep enough into the bidding strategy to actually enjoy the game.

35. Brian W on 13.12.2011 at 21:32

    I remember actually looking forward to rainy days while our family went camping. We would huddle around the inside of our tent or van and play games all day long. Nowhere to be and nothing on our agendas except hanging out and enjoying time together.

36. 8bitdad on 13.12.2011 at 21:48

    My earliest memories are of playing Stop Thief. This was such a fun game for a kid and it provided many hours of fun growing up.

37. Brenden on 13.12.2011 at 21:52

    Ooo! I love contests!
    And I love reminiscing…some of my earliest gaming memories were playing Cribbage with my grandpa. That and 10000 (which I think is a version of Farkle) with my brothers and cousins as well. Good times.

38. Brandon Massengill on 13.12.2011 at 23:05

    Once, after being eliminated from a three player game of monopoly, I became the full time banker. I also began rooting for my mom to beat my older brother who had eliminated me. She landed on a space with punishing rent. I said something to the effect of “oh no!” and hit my forehead on the table for comedic effect. Unfortunately I also hit the cannon player piece, burying it 1/4 into my face. I lifted my head up, the cannon dangling from between my eyebrows. My mom took care of it all, but she cannot tell the story to this day, 15 years later, without splitting a seam laughing.

39. Chris Funk on 13.12.2011 at 23:22

    I always remember playing Big Boggle with my family the most. It was more fun because it was bigger than the normal Boggle.

40. Bill Fogarty on 14.12.2011 at 00:23

    Thanks for the great contest. For Thanksgiving last year, the whole (and very large) family went out in the evening to the local bowling alley. While the children wanted to be included, it was not worth the time, money and frustration of letting those under 8 play. I volunteered to keep them entertained, and did so with a copy of Mayfair Games’ “Le Boomb,” a “hot-potato” style game.

    The kids loved it, and while they caught on very quickly that (in the words of the movie “Highlander”) “there could be only one” winner, they tended to choose sides on who would be the next to be “blown up” by the Boomb. The girls were screaming for the boys to be blown up and the boys were yelling for the girls to be blown. While I enjoyed the game and watching all the kids have a fun time, I was even more amused by the looks and questioning stares from all the people in the bowling alley looking our way; I guess they were not used to the sound of a bunch of kids yelling either, “Blow him (or her) up!” and “Fizzle!”

    Good times!

41. William Baldwin on 14.12.2011 at 03:29

    I remember playing Axis and Allies with friends during the high school days. Early on we played on a table too small for the map. After 3 hours of serious strategy, I was trying to make a point and raised my hands quickly… and flipped the entire game board over. Guess that was a vote for peace?

42. David Prieto on 14.12.2011 at 05:01

    I remember playing Feed Me! when I was a child! I hope I found a copy soon!

43. Wil W on 14.12.2011 at 06:27

    I recall playing a CCG back in the day. At the time I was given the starter decks and did not know the game was meant to be played with more than the starter decks, or even that the decks could change. My friend and I played with just the starter decks over, and over, and over again. Then thanks to the advent of a bit more of the Internet, I found out there was more!

    I spent much money in my youth on paper, but it was fun!

44. Daniel M. Perez on 14.12.2011 at 07:07

    It all started for me one Christmas back in 1986 – it was the year I got the D&D red box set after having tried it at school with some other kids. Couple days later my friends and I got together and 25 years later we are still playing.

45. BigKiteGuy on 14.12.2011 at 07:17

    Playing games with my dad

46. Monica Johnson on 14.12.2011 at 07:46

    Almost everytime my family visits my mom & dad and my sister’s family, we get the games out! It’s great to have those memories of fun times with family. I’m sure we would have a great time learning to play ‘Kingdom of Solomon’!

47. John on 14.12.2011 at 08:42

    When I was very little, we’d visit my grandparents, who lived several states away. Under 10 years old, I was the only person in my family without a terminal degree. So of course, we played Scrabble as a family.

48. Mike Richards on 14.12.2011 at 08:42

    My fondest gaming memories are about Christmas going back as far as I can remember. Every year at Christmas my family was always playing SOME sort of game. Most of the time it was a card based game like poker, euchre, rummy, or some obscure things like playing card bingo, and more recently Left Right Center was a huge hit. I think those gaming memories were what got me started as the gaming geek that I am today.

49. Simon on 14.12.2011 at 08:50

    Really nice initiative I wanna be in for the contest, and for you guys here’s a review of this game that looks awesome!

50. Lance on 14.12.2011 at 08:58

    I can remember the many many times sitting on the floor playing Nertz (sp?) with Nana, Mom, brother and sister. Many good hours spent with family which were all good (until one of us got mad and messed up the play area).

51. Rod Spellman on 14.12.2011 at 09:31

    Thanks for this chance.

    My best game related memory was in proposing to my wife during a game of Life.

52. Jameus on 14.12.2011 at 10:34

    My favorite gaming memories are always about the people I play with and not necessarily the game. My favorite would be when my sisters came to visit after a five year absence and gathering around the game table.

53. Steven Silvers on 14.12.2011 at 11:29

    My favorite memory is playing chutes and ladders with my son. I could never get him to understand why the chutes were bad. He just knew that going down the slide was awesome.

54. Chris on 14.12.2011 at 12:05

    I remember distinctly getting a board game I had been looking forward to for the whole year from my favorite Uncle. The commercials were astounding, the game play looked invigorating, it was… Mouse Trap!

    We had some plans that afternoon, but my Uncle promised that we’d play as soon as we were back from our afternoon activities. So he went home with my Mom and set the game up while I was anxious for playing this game of wonder for the next few hours.

    Finally, I get home and run upstairs, shouting for my Uncle to follow me upstairs so we can play. As I get upstairs, I see the full Mouse Trap board is setup, Boot kicking, Diver jumping, everything ready to go. It looked amazingly fun.

    I scooped up the rulebook and started reading and then it dawned on me. Part of the game was building the trap! My uncle and I had a big laugh as we had to tear the game apart, so we could build it up during game play.

    —-

    Thanks for the cool game contests, Purple Pawn!

55. Dan Edelen on 14.12.2011 at 13:55

    Had a chance to meet the designer at Gateway Games & More in Cincinnati.

    My memory was receiving PanzerBlitz, my first “adult” game, when I was a youngster. All those chits! I sat under the tree trying to shoo everyone away from my punched chits so that nothing would get lost. I played it later with my middle brother, but he was more interested in the tank icons than in the game.

56. Trentin C Bergeron on 14.12.2011 at 17:00

    Being an avid RPGer, The holidays we’re always chalk full of long marathon games over winter break. The regular crew would gather allowance from our various members, and pick up a new game or module. I would read it fervently before break, and then we would play! I always managed to slip something Christmas into the adventure with an evil twist. Like dark elves that stole gifts or Zombie Reindeer! We would forgo proper nourishment and sleep for these games, and they are some of my fondest memories from childhood (which is a feat, considering how long ago that was!). The only thing that MIGHT have deterred us would be snow. We would put down dice and books for swords made of tree limbs and plastic guns fighting epic battles between snow forts!!

57. Dan Cassar on 14.12.2011 at 22:17

    My big brother taught me how to play D&D when I was just 8 or 9 years old. I ate it up and played with him and his friends whenever they’d let me (which wasn’t often… I mean who wanted their pesky little brother around all the time!) One of my fondest memories as a kid was getting my very own copy of the D&D Monster Manual for Christmas. I read the thing a hundred times so that the next time I ran into something horrible in my brother’s dungeon… I’d be ready!

58. Schuth on 15.12.2011 at 07:50

    When I was a kid, played a lot of euchre, Dukes of Hazard card game, Bigfoot, PayDay, stuff like that.

    Solomon here I come!

59. Brewdinar on 15.12.2011 at 12:12

    Grew up with all the Hasbro/Milton Bradley classics. I think we were the only family that actually enjoyed Monopoly with all the usual houserules. 3-4 hour games all the time!

60. Steef Jacobson on 15.12.2011 at 13:56

    best memory was watching my dad play 10 Card Knock Gin Rummy with a neighbor at the swim club. They would would get a bunch of kids watching and the strategies and laughing when one had a handful of cards left.

61. James A on 15.12.2011 at 15:08

    I remember playing boardgames growing up primarily at the family lake cabin. We played alot of Risk and Stratego, and i remember an 80s shopping game called “Bargain Hunter” with a fake credit card swipe machine. I even recently found a copy of Liars Dice in 80s hot pink and pastel blue from that time period when visiting the cabin! there is a frankenstein version of Monopoly still there comprised of past editions with extras of somethings and nonmatching pieces. Hoping that one doesnt hit the table again anytime soon.

62. Matt Cowger on 15.12.2011 at 15:28

    So is the game in German?

63. James (Minion Games) on 15.12.2011 at 16:19

    @Matt Cowger – there are German rules on the website and european distributors will carry the game.

    Hey! We’re giving away another game over here: http://cartrunk.net/win-venture-forth-by-minion-games/

64. Uriah on 15.12.2011 at 20:45

    This game looks great.

    One of my earliest memories of playing a boardgame was over Christmas in 1982. We were at mycousins’ house and one of them had just gotten this really cool game with a talking black tower in the middle of the board. I don’t remember that much about it but I remember that I won that game.

65. Tim VanderWall on 16.12.2011 at 06:13

    My parents came from a generation of card players. I grew up with Crazy Eights, Old Maid, War and Steal the Pack. Growing older, I regularly played Cribbage with my dad, Canasta with my Mom, and Gin Rummy with my aunt. There was nearly always a card game going on somewhere in the adult family each week — Bridge, Sheep’s Head, or my grandmother’s favorite — triple-deck, three-handed Pinochle. So when I discovered board games at a young age, it was very easy to extend my love of card games to them. I think my earliest board game memory is of Uncle Wiggly — “The big, bad Pipsisewa shivered and shook as Uncle Wiggly ten hops took.” Thanks for giving me an opportunity to remember those carefree days. BTW, I still own an Uncle Wiggly game, although nowadays I much prefer Settlers of Catan.

66. Carmen on 16.12.2011 at 10:30

    My wife and I are avid board gamers, and this Dec. 30th is out first anniversary. What better gift than a brand new not yet released board game! Thanks for the contest!!

67. Fox on 16.12.2011 at 13:02

    I remember the first time I played Arkham Horror was at a con with a bunch of other people that had never played before either. I didn’t know you should not do that. What an experience that was! Somehow I left with the desire to not only play again, but to buy the game and the millions of expansions. I love diving right into the chaos!

68. Jon on 16.12.2011 at 16:06

    I remember countless hours as a young man of 13 spent playing Risk, Shogun and Axis & Allies with my good buddies. I don’t know if I’ve ever had such extended, intense play sessions as those.

69. Joseph LeMay on 16.12.2011 at 20:06

    Some of my fondest memories are of playing Phase 10 with my childhood best friend and his whole family. It was chaotic, fun, and formative. Later on, I was best man at his wedding, and he and I still game together! :D

70. Kevin Peters Unrau on 17.12.2011 at 07:19

    I remember getting Scotland Yard for Christmas and hearing that it had won best game if the year in Germany. (We had no idea about the Spiel des Jahres back then.) We played it almost every day that holiday season. Great memories.

71. joe c on 18.12.2011 at 00:59

    I remember playing heroquest with my cousins at a family Christmas party. It was the night that really pushed me into my love for games.

72. Tom Wright on 18.12.2011 at 21:51

    What helped me get into games now was playing Magic the Gathering and Star Wars CCG as a kid. I can still remember my buddy Andrew teaching me to play Magic the first time. We must have broken every single rule there was. After much reading of the rule book and playing with several people, we finally got it down.

    We’d usually end up playing Magic for six months, then Star Wars, back to Magic, then Star Wars.

    It was his family that eventually introduced me to Euros, and I’ve introduced them to Ameritrash now. I”m definitely glad for that friendship.

73. Scott Smith on 19.12.2011 at 08:56

    Playing 3 handed cut-throat Pinochle with my dad and brother.

74. T. Derscheid on 19.12.2011 at 08:57

    My very earliest gaming memory is playing a Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner Old Maid game with my mom and dad and younger sister. We discovered that she was palming and sitting on a card or two, which explained her winning streak!

    We went on to play Monopoly, Careers, and many other traditional games, and today enjoy Puerto Rico and the new crop of Euros.

75. Brian Kelsay on 19.12.2011 at 09:42

    I recall playing hours and hours of card games with my mom and brother in a windstorm on a camping trip to a Kansas lake.

76. Weston Humphreys on 19.12.2011 at 10:06

    Some of my earliest gaming memories involve playing Risk with my father and brothers. It was always my goal to hold Australia and expand from there.

    These days we are still playing games, but have broadened our horizons to include games like Catan, Giants, and Vikings.

    Certainly one of my favorite ways to spend time.

    i remember playing, ok, TRYING to play Fortress america with my 10 year old brother (then i was 14). We ended up using the hovertanks and planes and playing our own little war with added “pewpewpew” sounds :)

    @Uriah, that’s Dark Tower. I still have a copy from way back when.

    Games have always played a large part in family get togethers and always during Christmas. Someone is getting a new game and we’re gonna play! Be it that great copy of Broadsides my uncle got one year, or my copy of Pente, Dark Tower, et al, games make our lives richer.

    I make memories every time I play games with my family. It’s those shared experiences that we find ourselves talking about long after the games have ended. My youngest son enjoys recalling when he bought a cardboard box for $13,000 in For Sale; My eldest son sheepishly remembers becoming a Fashionista by playing Pret-a-Porter; My eldest daughter is the master of evolution with her slithery reptiles in DOminant Species, or my youngest daughter who is still striving to become a Pokemon master. Games bring us together, and give us all unique, and meaningful experiences.

    My favorite memory of holiday game playing is the afternoon of Christmas, which the family always spent playing a board game one of us received as a gift.
