Board Games for your GAME NIGHT!

Everyone likes board games! Growing up in the 80s - 90s everyone used to have game nights with family and friends, playing classic games such as Monopoly, Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders, Operation, Clue, Uncle Wiggly, The Game of Life and Old Maid, just to name a few games.

Why not re-visit those good ol' days, by having board game nights with your family and friends. I recently visited the local department store and the price tags of board games now-a-days are outrageous, most are between $25 - $50 each.

I didn't have many board games to have a two to three hour "Board Game Night", so I went to various local thrift stores to see what they had. To my surprise, they had shelves of board games, most lightly used at great prices.

I purchased these board games at various local thrift stores. 

Price in parentheses is the price that I paid. The price on the right is the retail price for a new game.

** NOTE - These games are used and may not be the latest edition, but the game play is still the same. If the box is not taped shut, look inside and see if all the pieces are there. On the games that I have purchased so far, What's Yours Like? was basically brand new without the shrink wrap and the rest of the games were in really good condition, but the boxes have some signs of wear. RISK even had all 350 pieces.

After bringing home a newly acquired game, I take out a few zip lock bags, paper towels, a can of disinfectant spray to clean the game. For the game tokens and dice, I place them in a zip lock bag and spray the disinfectant spray inside, seal and shake the bag a few times to make sure everything is disinfected. I leave the pieces in the bag for about 5 minutes or so, then I empty them out on a paper towel and pat them dry.

For the game board, I spray a paper towel and clean off the board front, back and sides.

Now I just have to find some friends that want to play board games.

HAVE A GREAT GAME NIGHT!
