Last year, when my Dad was sick, we would break out the Parcheesi and play it to make the day go by faster. I thought he liked it. My sister told me, he only played because I liked it!

Remember playing games like Monopoly, Life, Clue, Sorry and other games as a kid? Why was it there was almost always one "hot head" that ruined it for everyone?

These days, it seems rare that kids play board games. That's why it was shocking to read that a dad in Utah got arrested for threatening his teen daughter with a loaded gun because he thought she was cheating at Battleship.

Wait a second. A teenager played Battleship? No way! Maybe this is an ok Christmas gift after all.
