A PlayStation 3 might have its charms, but when it comes to entertainment, some board games have stood the test of time. For family get-togethers or on a picnic blanket with friends this summer, classics tend to prevail.
"Settlers of Catan. It's a game of trading and you buy land. It's fun and really competitive. At every family gathering we get together and play." -Jen Litteral, communication junior
"Monopoly. It's a classic sort of game that everyone knows how to play." -Brian Weathers, history senior
"Chess, because it's for smart people. I sometimes play with my friends, but not every day." -Nada Alkaabi, chemical engineering freshman
"My favorite game is Blokus. It's kind of a unique game with Tetris-like pieces. I've played it with my family before and it's pretty competitive." -Zach Garris, psychology senior
"My favorite board game is Monopoly because of the whole money and economy type of thing. It taught me how to be responsible and manage money." -Dorothy Williams, telecommunication, information studies and media sophomore
