Hump Day Top 5

Well, happy wednesday to all. Jackson is on day three of four of basketball camp today. Yesterday he learned how to take a charge. AWESOME! I can not wait to hear stories about today. Anyway, I am hoping for a good turnout in my comment section for today's top 5. I am going with top 5 board games! These are my favorite board games to play ever!

1. Monopoly - The giant of board games. Who doesn't love this real estate game?
2. Strat-o-matic baseball - I put a link here for people who have no idea about this game. Well, this is a played with cards and dice. It is a great game for kids who love statistics and baseball. I played hours of this as a kid.
3. Clue - One suspect, one weapon, one room. So fun!
4. Mastermind - This is a code breaking board game. Who doesn't love code breaking? I sense a theme...
5. Yahtzee - Is this a board game? If yes, this is #5.

If Yahtzee is not a board game, I would put Catch phrase next. You have a team and you have to give clues until they guess the word and then you pass it on. Whoever is holding the clue box when the timer goes off loses. This game is fun with a big group.

I know. I left off some big ones like Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit and Battleship but this is my list.

Have a good rest of the week!
