My bro was 3 yrs older too and OMG did he ever torture me. But he used to give me the common marbles that he had duplicates of. I was a bit too young to be any good at them. By the time I got old enough to be good with them, he'd moved on to something else, like yoyo's. GO PHILLIES Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #446994 (8)

That's another game that I vaguely remember. I think that I remember some of these games because my sister who is 10 years younger than me had them. We loved playing Password. Go Phillies! Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #447339 (14)

my mom and I used to play Othello and we had another similar game with magnets (can't remember the name)... and the pieces flipped over to the other persons color .. you could flip the magnet base around to change it up... but there were still only 4 patterns and we memorized it after a while Coleus Chat ~~ Seed Forum ~~Northeast Forum Click here to visit my Zazzle Store Happy Birthday Wishes Quote | Post #448197 (18)

Most of these games were popular after I was a kid. LOL We grew up with checkers, chinese checkers, pegs and as we got older chess. We did play with Pick up Sticks. Mid Atlantic Musings Quote | Post #448412 (19)
