what about the game Dictionary..
where you make up meanings of words..
someone opens the dictionary and
picks a word. Everyone writes down
a possible meaning, including the
person who originally looked it up,
and then everyone guesses which one
is the real one. Only things needed
are a dictionary, pencils and paper
and enquiring minds! a good chance
to improve vocabulary, too.

I used to love monopoly, but when
i realized it encouraged development,
ammassing huge amounts of property
and charging rent in increasing
amounts, decided it was going a
direction i did not care for.
I have not much cared for Monoploy
since discoveriny Anti-Monopoly.

It is hard to obtain, though due to
copyright issues.
