Whatever happened to playing games like Monopoly with the family?

Do families play these games any more or is everyone too busy in their own room in front of the computer?

Whatever happened to those good old days when families gathered and played a good game?

    My family is very much into board games..........and we play a lot of the old ones too with the grandies and nieces and nephews..........like Sorry, Risk, Snakes and Ladders, Clue, Monopoly and Balderdash.

    One of our favourites is an old Parker Brothers card game called PIT and it's been a family tradition for years that we play it Christmas Day after our turkey dinner.

    I agree with you! Lots of people don't anymore. Me and my family still play monopoly and sorry. we also play life. People who don't do these things are missing out on a lot! They are just too "busy" to play. I would miss those days.

    It's a whole different society now. Families without a leader have become commonplace. Unfortunately, parents now have to work double time in order to provide for their families, so they don't necessarily have the luxury of family time. It is very sad. What's worse is that there is no definite answer as to where society went wrong, so there is no definite answer to get back to that.

    I never hang out with my mom. She works too much. And when she's on her day off. I try to get her to play with me. But she just ignores me.
