And, you might want to pay for an experienced pool table assembly, rather than attempting to DIY this heavy fellow.

I bought the lexington and everyone is pleased with. I have league players over and they have zero complaints. It comes with everything you need to get started.

Yeh,we use to totally get off hiding the flags and bombs in the most sneaky (strategic) of places! Lol! Think I remember Risk. Also Yatzee was a sort of complicated game,or how about Rummicub?

I remember Stratego! I totally forgot how to play it though and my 10-year-old nephew kicked my butt when we played it a few weeks ago as a result. Does anyone remember Risk? My brother had that game and it always looked very complicated so I never learned it. He used to play it for hours with his friends.

Well, I play a lot of video games, but my friends enjoy playing poker, so I'm looking for a good card table.

With the weather not being so great outside, I like playing Buzz Quiz Trivia. It's good for some fun times with friends or just the family. If not trivia, Chess or Monopoly are always old time favorites.

Does anyone remember the old handheld electronic football, babeball, and basketball games? No 3d graphics, mind blowing dolby digital sound, or widescreen images like today. Most basic of graphics just X's and O's but boy was it fun! I have to search Ebay or Craigslist for a piece of that nostalgia. I think Mattel made them.

Yes! We had a little football game. It was white and I think it was made by Coleco and was just little red blips on a tiny screen that made an annoying little "boop" sound that made my mother insane LOL!

Bubble, or dome hockey as it is also called, got its name because of the very distinguishable dome that covers the playfield. Game play is fast and furious as the puck never leaves the playing surface.

We bought my oldest son Battleship for Christmas. It is a blast! I forgot how much fun it is! We have played it a ton the last few days!

I love games, particularly air hockey. We don't have a table at home so I make sure to get it out of my system when we go to the arcade or to my brother's house. We have a game called Skittles which is really hard to explain, but we play that a lot as it's kind of mindless yet very fun and doesn't take any skill. Another of my favorite games is called Catch Phrase. When I play that with my friends we laugh so hard that it hurts the next day. Good times. :)

There use to be a really really fun board game called "Pass Out". Man did we have fun with that:-} However it's not really conducive to "family" entertainment. In that sence I'd say "Scrabble" it was and still is tooth and nail when we play that one! Also pictionary was alota fun, and lets not forget 5Card Stud&Black Jack!!! Quarters or Beer Pong anyone?

pool table slate vs non-slate

If its not slate dont buy it. Im not sure about slatron but ive owned many slate tables and once a non slate and it wil not last. Slate tables can last for decades. They are stronger, more durable, and balance better than other tables. Any pool hall you go too only has slate tables. The other ones are particle board and they warp, they dont hold up especially if you try to move them, and they don't balance well. THey will not last and if you play pool at all you can tell a significant difference. Also if you invest in a nice slate table, dont go cheap on the cloth. Samonis cloth is one of the better cloths for tables.

Those are clearly classics and a lot of fun. My wife's family loves board games. We play one nearly every night during their visits. A particular family favorite is Cranium. Or Cranium for the kids. It's perfect. It's not too difficult and everyone can get a little silly.
