Weekly Countdown... Worst games ever

So, I was recently playing Hi Ho Cherrio with my kiddos and my DH, when I realized just how many different games there are... So, here's, in my opinion, the worst 5...

5 - Monopoly - Could this game possibly take any longer? I mean clear about 5 hours because you're gonna be tied up for a bit... As soon as someone buys a property, they're fingers get twitching and then they buy apartments... who can actually buy an apartment building for as little as $500..?? PLUS, it doesn't make for keeping spouse-wife relationships thriving, because it may end up the one spouse made the other, bankrupt, then it gets ugly... Only play this game if you're playing with people who don't understand the game.. trust me!

4 - Clue - The real reason people play this game is because it has a tiny revolver as a game piece.. It's awesome for Barbie though, if Ken's giving her shit about going out with her girlfriends... it almost fit in her purse, she could put a cap in his ass!

3 - Mouse Trap - just as soon as you set the thing up,it's time for dinner... WTF... or better yet, someone sneezes and it sets the little trap spirling down, you go to fix it then all the other peices, the bot, the tub, all gets disconnected somehow.. yeah... plus in real life mouse traps KILL, let's have our kids think that the cute little mousy just gets "contained" for a while, or at least until dinner time, instead of it being smashed by a spring loaded death trap..

2 - Perfection - Ok, for those who know me.. this game whomps big time... You have to put the tiny pieces in their respective slots of the board while a timer is ticking and people are watching, then BOOM the whole damn board pops up and your pieces fly all over the table.. can we say McGruber?? For me it's impossible to get them in with enough time, and like the puff of air blown into your eyeball at your optomitrists office, even though you know it's coming, it still scares the piss out of you...

1 - Life - So you get yourself a car, and a tiny stick figure to stick in it, to represent yourself, blue or pink, depending on gender (what if you're gay and on the outside you're a man, but on the inside you know you were meant to be a woman?)... You spin and move in order to get a spouse... Then you spin some more, pay some bills, loose your house, then all of a suddon you've got 14 stick kids and you're sending them to collage... all this responsibility and you're only 8 years old... Way to go Milton Bradley! Let's scare our kids!

So, I guess if you're board one day, get it board, not bored.. lol Anyways, go out and buy a different game then the ones mentioned above, you'll thank me for it... (Try Scrabble and allow cuss words..)
