Card games.
Dice games.
Board games.
Trivia games.
Video games.
Sport games.
Casino games.
I have always loved to play cards, although these days I can hardly remember how to play anything beyond blackjack, poker and spades. Michigan rummy is also very fun. Apples to Apples is another fave.
I also love to play board games (except monopoly). Scrabble, Cranium, Trivial Pursuit are my top picks. Pictionary and charades are also up there (although I wish I was able to play these with adults more often). Still wanting to learn how to play Chess.
As far as video games go, I haven't played one since the original Super Mario Bros. on NES. I lost all interest after the age of 12. (Besides the fact that I am majorly bad!) I have never in my life even played Guitar Hero!
I love playing volleyball, tennis and soccer (although my bad knee prevented this for many years).
I love the casino, but I never ever go. Video gambling can be fun, and Black Jack and Pai Gow poker are where its at!
What kind of games do you like to play? How often do you actually play?

We loooooove games! We are in a Skip Bo phase and play at least two hands every night right now! We love Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Boggle, Blokus, and tons of card games! We've been playing a lot of Trouble with Alyssa lately, and I'm so glad she's showing such an interest in games...gotta start 'em young!

LOVE games!!! Our family is HUGE into games. All the ones you named plus more. I'm actually bringing a bunch of games to Minneapolis this weekend for us girls to play in the hotel...not sure how much game playing we'll be doing, but it's an option:)

I'm not really a game person unless someone talks me into it. And then of couse I have a Blast! IT is just not something that I choose to do. But, I am very competitive so when we begin playing I am the one trying to win every stinkin round.
I think that my Fav games would have to be... Apples to Apples, Spaz UNO, Outburst, and Dirty Minds.
As for video/nintendo games... Not a fam whatsoever. Neither is my husband. So, when we have kids I think that it will be hard for me to let them play them.

I love playing board games- the ones that are more trivia and "fun", or word games are my faves. I also like trivial pursuit, pictionary, loaded questions, taboo, catch phrase, etc. Unfortunately my husband hates board games so we never play together, and we don't really do game nights or anything:(

Well, I could do without games. I like guitar hero when we get a chance and love scrabble. But otherwise we don't really play many games. I guess it's due to a lack of time, but we didn't really before kids either.

I love games, but I don't play them very often. I like scrabble and trivia pursuit too. I am really good at cranium for some reason or the people I played with were horrible. Video games don't really do it for me. I like the easy ones like tetris and bookworm, I guess the thinking ones. I loved playing softball and basketball, but don't play so much anymore.

I love to play games. Usually we play strategy games - ones that are not that common (and tend to be expensive) like Settlers, Risk 2210 A.D., Vegas Showdown, and occassionally Scene it....
Oh yeah casino games are good too and so are the video games!

I am obsessed with all sorts of games.. Here are my top favorites. Of course Texas Hold em tops the list and I don’t mind bragging that I very good. I also love the game of Life and Sorry. I have become obsessed with dominos as well. When I am not with my very few friends that know how to play I play against people online. I love card games like rummy 500 and hearts.. I think games are a good way to socialize and have a good time. My friends and I even used to bring a deck of cards to the bars and play drinking games. Of course that was when I was younger and not many places allow that now.

I love games! Unfortunately, we don't have time to play many. I recently started buying Games Magazine again. My mom & I used to do puzzles out of them when I was younger... Now, when I have time before a meeting, or if I'm bored in class, I'll take out the magazine and try to figure some of the puzzles out.
We have a Wii, PS2, Xbox 360, and a bunch of handheld games... Yet I still don't find time to play those either.
On a more personal note, after reading your blog and some of the others you linked... I decided to start a blog too. School is done next week, and I'm not planning on taking summer classes. So hopefully I'll find time to blog too! :) ~D
