Yeah TTR is great. Quite a different game from RB/Boxcars, but it gets a lot of playing time at our house. I played TTR Switzerland just last weekend.

Battling Tops was cool. "Hurricane Hank" was the label for the grey one.

I'm looking at my Emergency! game right now - 40 years old - it's missing some bits, but definitely playable.

I also have a Magic Realm set, Axis of Allies, HeroQuest, and an 80s era Careers game that all could be played right now. I think my Life is a little newer, but I had an old one (late 70s, early 80s) we played until it fell apart.

Ticket to Ride is great. It's an international phenomenon.

glad to see so many play board games. When my Mom comes in town we play them a lot.
Me and my step kids do family game night once a week as well. But those games are usally very kid centric.
Seeing this brought back so many memories.
I used to have an electronic stratego that was pretty damn cool. You could set bombs and the machine knew what ranks were where.
I've actually never played the non electric verions.

Rail Baron was like a mix of monopoly while ticket to ride is more about strategy of train layouts.

Strategy Tip
Cheat!
just move your flag. Stratego is almost as bad as battleship when it comes to cheating.

I see some axis and allies...did you ever finish a game? It would take days and eventually someone would jack up the board

And although technically not a board game,still a classic

I had "Panzer Leader" as a kid. Loved the Avalon Hill games.

Still play A&A with my younger son. And we all play "Acquire" and "Risk".
