 I havent heard of Loodo, or Caraam...But Monopoly? of course! :) I like that game too its just that we can only play it once in a while, its so much each time, the time length of the game, setting up etc... and not to mention having a baby running around you. (yet sometimes we do play when he is asleep or in his room) ;-D Its just not a game I can play too often..

Loodo=Ludoo=Ludo - dice game right?

caram - popular indian game?

Connect 4 - maybe not boardgame
pictionary - noisy drawing game
chess - intellectual game

BUT OPERATION RULES!

I would have to go with [url=http://www.trivialpursuit.com/]Trivial Pursuit[/url].  Great game, makes you think and you can have alot of fun with it to

Hint: if it is political question and you don't know the answer just say "Richard Nixon" you will get it right everytime;)

I think it involves something like flipping coins to make them land on numbers that tell you how many points you get.

p.s. has anyone heard of "Game of life?"

Curious cause you want to play it. :)  hota hai. :)  There was a discussion on this in one of the sports threads, Bro. Hanif tried to make it seem like a real sport, but it isn't, its something British. :)


Ludoo = Snakes and Ladders. :)

lol I can just tell the ages of the posters right off by their board games... how nostalgic lol

ludo is very weirdly familiar, but I have no idea exactly what it is...

othello is cool on computer

monopoloy is too long but alright when i was young

SCRABBLE and TRIVIAL PURSUIT RULE! (I like those nerdish games lol)

hmmm... when I was younger, Mousetrap...

gosh I hate those new-age board games or those haraam-bordering games that big up youth to be interested in sexuality and so on.

chess is cool... I once met two six year old twins who were chess champions for their province... and THEY BEAT ME in chess... and they knew how to checkmate me in four moves or something.  Chess is just so imbalanced because people get so good at it, that you have to find an appropriate opponent.  What does Islam say of dice games? Anyways, they were all good and fun during my childhood. asalaamu alaikum. abdullah,.

My favorite board game when i was small was Candy Land...LOL,hehe

but you know, i was remembering a game i used to play with my cousins with our hands and i don't remember how we played it except the words-Yassu, Punju, Har, Qabootr, Dholi...*i'm sure i spelt some of those wrong*

anyone have any clue what i'm talking about? it's a desi game, obviously, and if you do know what i'm talking about, how do you play it?! i forgot :(

okee, Wa Salaams

asalaamu alaikum,

no "akar bakar bambaybo" (lol sounds so funny) is like the Western "eeny meenee manee mo, catch a tiger by the toe..."

Hajree, I know which game your talking about!

Its that Paksitani game you play with your fingers and you pick a name or soemthing!

lol Some guy tried to show me how to play that when we were bored to sleep in our Bio lab last year. lol

but these aren't board games!

And CARAM rocks!  but the people in India are way to good for me. asalamu alaikum. abdullah,.

hehe yeh, i know it's not a board game- hey, we aren't restricted to *just* board games in this thread :D

but yaay bro, you know what i'm talking about? and hehe, yes, it's a pakistani game, my cousins thought me and we always played it, but now i've forgotten :(

do you remember how it goes or no?! anyone knows, can you tell me cause actually today i remembered, i actually need it for something, so if you know, please tell me, thanks! :))))

all rightey and as of board games- i have TONS that i love, i don't want to bore you guys, but my university has a board game like monopoly, i got it during orientation and left it on the gym floor, LOL..but my friends hate board games, i'm the only one who forces them to play, i think they are much funner than just going out to the mall and walking..it's nice to just sit with a bunch of friends and play a board game, this way everyone's together and it's easier than all of us going out to the mall or ice skating and what not :)

all rightey, Ta Ta peeps!

OK, Sis Hajree here you go.

Each player has one of the names : Yassu, Punju, Har, Qabootr, or Dholi..
Each player puts down one hand on the floor with a number of fingers outstreched.  Count the fingers, saying "Yassu, Punju, Har, Qabootr, Dholi..". The name which is reached on the last finger goes out.  This continues till everyone goes out except the last player.  He/she is now the loser.  At this point, everyone tickles him/her until he says "Rahamtoallaah!".

asalaamu alaikum,

huh? okee, i remember the part about each person puts down their fingers, but umm, i didn't get what you meant after that...

and tickle part?! we didn't do that..we did that thingy where the loser closes their hands together and the winner gets to hit it until the loser can take their hand away in time...get what i mean?! it's hard to describe..but usually it's hard for the loser to take their hand away in time, so it's usually hit numerous times and RED! poor loser, hehe!

Yeah, there was no tickling part, just hitting of the hand.  I vaguely remember that game.
