Crazy Clock.

Chutes & Ladders, Candy Land, Chinese checkers, Parcheesi, Life, Monopoly come to mind. There were more.

(Later, Trivial Pursuit and Othello).

When I was in high school all the kids on my street got together on Friday evenings and played cards, but I can't remember the name of the game now. Will have to ask my siblings if any of them remember. It was a fun game; our moms took turns hosting and made snacks for everybody. We went to that store at the mall that sold black lights and bought a deck of marked cards and then tried to cheat at it- ha! Oh, yes, Spencer Gifts, that's where we got the marked cards.

Merry Christmas!

That's funny. I showed it to my 8 year old daughter who loves horses. She's got her own collection of My Little Ponies and started naming the ponies in the picture. Not sure whether to laugh or be worried about that.

I remember playing with Silly Putty. You could press it against the Sunday funnies, peel it off, and the image of the comic strip would be transferred to the Silly Putty. Then you could stretch it all out of shape.
