my favorite "Game of the States" which had something to do with the local manufacturing resources of each state and trucks transporting goods across state lines for sale.
Oh my goodness! I think we picked that up at a yard sale. The pieces were little trucks and you loaded little pucks into them, right?
You used to have to decide who to ask when you got to a room and made a guess. If the person you asked couldn't help you, that was it. And then you had to remember who you asked, and for what.
...Buh? I've never heard of this before; we always played that when you made a suggestion, it went around the board until someone disproved it. If the rules were changed, it happened a long time ago, because our copy was from the 70s if not earlier.

Yes. We had it at some point. Or a friend did.
Mmm, now I am going to have to get board games for when the boy comes down! I think Clue would be fun, and Sorry. And Uno.
My post-college roommate and I taught ourselevs cribbage and I have a board, but have since forgotten. But, I have couple of guides to card games so I think I will re-learn. My real love is card games and I hope we can find a few that mac enjoys.
Parcheesi is always fun--I love blocking other players out.
Cribbage was the game for us to play with Dad, especially after the parents divorced and I'd go hang out at his apartment on Sunday (gin rummy was the game if my sister joined us at Dad's). I remember the utter glee I had the one time I came within one point of double-skunking him.
OH MY GOD GAME OF THE STATES!!! Yeah, we totally loved that game.
One summer I got really obsessed with cribbage. I have completely forgotten how to play it, and I think I may only have played it on the computer, but it was awesome.

A lot of our games were old, but I don't know if that one was. But we never played with house rules like "Free Parking", so I don't think we would have played that way if it hadn't been in the rules.
Ha ha ha.
I looked it up on BGG, and the board and everything didn't look familiar.
Until I hit the board that DID look familiar. We played the Indian version.
We clearly need to play some cribbage at a game night or F2F.
Next West Coast F2F will TOTALLY have a game corner in the hospitality suite.
