Looks interesting although in my opinion the best board game ever would be either Cluedo or Monopoly

To be honest I don't know a single person that plays boardgames any more. Even as a kid, most kids couldn't be bothered.

I tend to enjoy them but they just aren't relevant any more.

Board games are still very popular, every major town has at least one gaming store.

I am glad you mentioned mousetrap, I had forgotten about it. I found the 1986 version complete on amazon and cant wait to play it again.

I still play board games!

Just a few minutes ago I beat my mom the tenth time in a row at Connect 4. :D

I don't think I have enough ink to play this game.

Hmm, it's only two players, though. Otherwise I have a group of friends who'd be interested.

I had mine printed at Kinkos, it only cost me around 9-10 dollars on good card stock. It would be fun to print out 2 copies and play 4 players.

Wow, print your own board game. That is clever. It's easily possible to have basically a color printing press in your home nowadays for not much money. Technology is fun. Print your own printing press.

What? I was under the impression boardgames were dying out. Don't get upset about it.

Kingmaker.

There are some others, but kingmaker is the all time winner in my book. I'm old school geek though.

I like the print and play idea, cool way to make an inexpensive board game.
