My family never got into them all that much, though I was introduced to the five day running Risk games in college, but my m-i-l kept all the board games from when my husband and his sister were ten and we spent this past Christmas playing Aggravation, and Chinese Checkers and Moustrap and Candyland with a set so old that the cards are the texture of felt.
Have you ever played Mousetrap with a three year old? When the game is twenty years old? And is missing pieces? I deserve some kind of award for jury-rigging three missing pieces with four christmas cards, embroidery floss, and cellophane tape.
That being said...Aggravation is right up there with Uno for unearthing hidden competitive streaks.
