11 Board Games Every Millennial Was Obsessed With Growing Up
Ninja Game Den

As a child, board games were our life. We wanted to play them every night with our family and friends. Almost every birthday party or family event you went to had a board game. You'd think that we'd be sick of them after awhile, but that just wasn't possible. Even to this day, we get excited when someone mentions board games - especially if it's on your top 10 list! Here are some of the best board games that millennials played and came to fall in love with! Did yours make the list?

1. Monopoly


This game seemed like it would never end, but you didn't want to quit until you had all of the properties or a hotel on everything!

2. Candy Land

Princess Lolly, Queen Frostine, Lord Licorice, King Kandy, Plumpy, Jolly, Gloppy, Gramma Nutt -- We all had one character we loved the most!

3. Uno

Reverse. Skip. Reverse. Draw two. Draw four. Sorry, not sorry!

4. Connect Four

There was always that one spot you wanted, but your opponent always took it!

5. Battleship

You were extra cool if you had the electronic version!

6. Sorry

"I know you're almost to the safe zone, but I want your spot, so I'm knocking you back to start!"

7. The Game of Life

Not only did you want the best job, the best house, and the most money, but you hoped that that would be your future too.

8. Guess Who?

"Does your person have brown hair?" No. "Glasses?" No. "A hat?" Yes!

9. Chutes and Ladders

You loved the tallest ladder, but hated the longest slide.

10. Pictionary

"Is that a tree? A house? A tree on top of the house?"

11. Don't Wake Daddy!

Even as you got older, the dad still makes you jump!


No matter how old we are, we'll always love these games. How many of you would actually turn down a game of Uno if your friends asked? Not many! So grab your friends, get some board games, and bring back some memories! (Maybe you'll make a few new ones too!)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
