What began as game played with a mere pencil and paper during World War 1 would soon erupt into the epic board game we all grew up with. Today Battle Ship remains as one of the highest grossing board games of all time and also features a pretty awful Rihanna cameo in some versions, or maybe that was just a movie... Regardless, Battle Ship is one sure fire way to hit the 'G spot' without very much effort. Sink on!

My father raised me to be intensely conservative fiscally. Still I couldn’t help but try to give him loans everytime I was about to best him in Dinosaur Monopoly. This game taught me the true value of a dollar and the true love a father and son can share. I know not 'everyone' played this specific edition, but I know we all played Monopoly at some point. Besides this has freaking Dinosaurs on the money, genius.

Personally I have an odd fetish for spelling. I suppose this is why Scrabble tends to sexually arouse me… Regardless the games a classic. One of skill, academics and tiles. Fun in numbers, or between two with some hot tea. Scrabble is a game for the patient, precise and elderly.

This is a game my father won in some raffel at his office. I was very young when I was introduced to it, but because of the plastic pieces having little pictures of swords and bombs on them I instantly felt that masculine attraction. This was probably the most played board game my brother and I shared together, and therefore I think I owe a large debt of gratitude to Stratego for bringing me closer to my older brother and best friend.

Connect four is one of the simplest and yet most difficult (for me at least) board games I have ever played. It was an epic game for rainy days, although after losing over five times I would often throw it against the wall and retreat to the comfort of a bathroom stall. Oh the memories I have sitting on that urinal can. Thanks for keeping me dry and my digestive habits in line!
