It’s family game night so you decide to take a trip to Target and check out the board game aisle. Except that aisle has so many new games you don’t know what to pick. What about the games we all grew up with? There were so many great games we played as kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That thought triggers the nostalgia of all those board game commercials we saw while watching Saturday morning cartoons. (Do kids even know what commercials are anymore? My kids call them all ads now. They will never know the stress of going to the bathroom during a commercial break and getting back quick enough and not missing anything.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as you peruse this list and go down memory lane of your favorite childhood board games, check out the commercials that went along with them. (It’s surprising how often we thought making a “rap” was a good way to advertise….)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: I know “board games” usually suggest games that include an actual board. I’m including non-board board games because this is a silly thing to be pedantic about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Connect 4<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I introduced Connect 4<\/a> to my youngest and he hasn’t stopped playing. He’s getting so good I need to keep my wits about me when I play him now. No more guaranteed slam dunking in his face to put him in his place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily Connect 4 has been around long enough that it’s at the local dollar store or Five Below. It’s also pretty inexpensive to buy online (at around $8 on Amazon at the time of writing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
