	The two games by Winning Moves should probably be listed together...

	MRL:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 05:48 GMT	5 points
	Additionally (and sorry for the double post, but I only noticed this after the first one), D&D was not originally published by Wizards of the Coast, but by TSR, who have since been bought out by WotC.

	Tchaikovsky08:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 06:38 GMT	41 points
	No Hungry Hungry Hippos?!

	hornplayer:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 06:48 GMT	12 points
	I didn't do so well - I haven't even heard of 10 of the games :) Good quiz. thanks

	MarkK:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 07:27 GMT	28 points
	Where's Mouse Trap?

	Voldamort:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 07:37 GMT	32 points
	No Pictionary, LIFE, and Candyland? (while extremely simple still a game everyone plays)

	Eamus Catuli:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 07:44 GMT	26 points
	I know they are kids games, but what about Candyland, Chutes & ladders, and Operation? Who hasn't owned or played those those games? And then there is Life and Pictionary. There's probably one guy who votes, and he just picks the games he's good at. Nice quiz, but the list sucks.

	Havok3595:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 08:15 GMT	1 point
	I'm pretty sure my copy reads "Settlers of Cataan."

	davidr:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 08:29 GMT	1 point
	@Eamus C.: Agreed, though I'd cite chess, checkers/draughts and almost any game played with a standard deck of cards before any of the ones you mention.

	Edd:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 09:51 GMT	8 points
	Where is snakes and ladders?!? The best! =]

	kcap1:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 11:33 GMT	10 points
	I can't believe I missed Mille Bornes, my dad would kill me. It's the second most popular game in France, my dad would like you to know, even though he is in no way French.

	MissInformed:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 11:53 GMT	18 points
	I'm astonished that Connect Four isn't on their list!

	Ribhump:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 12:23 GMT	13 points
	well admittedly i'm only gonna list a few that are above, though in addition to hungry hippoes, Mouse trap and Operation, what about the Game of Life? Everyday's payday, how can you not love that?!

	GeordieGuitarist:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 12:29 GMT	9 points
	No Ludo, Snakes and ladders, mousetrap or connect four? They were the only 4 games i played as a kid.

	BigSwitz98:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 12:33 GMT	6 points
	There are a lot of great games not on this list.

	ZeppoMarxist:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 13:30 GMT	4 points
	MLR - Thanks for suggesting that change. The only reason I even thought of the TSR game is because I recognized the company name from '80s comic book ads.

	Malica:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 13:34 GMT	11 points
	WHY ARE ALL THE ANSWERS IN CAPS? Please stop yelling at me. @Havok3595: You might be confusing it with Settlers of Canaan -- on of the expansion/variations of Settlers of Catan.

	nobullship:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 14:35 GMT	12 points
	you sunk my battleship!

	Etheridge2:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 14:48 GMT	4 points
	The Hall of Fame starts and ends with SCRABBLE!!!

	Spammo:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 15:08 GMT	8 points
	While I loved Life as a kid, I went back and played it recently and realized there is very little strategy to it...No matter what you do, you end up in the same place and good and crappy things happen to you. That probably makes it a realistic picture of actual life, though I'm sure it makes a great game...

	Kicking222:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 15:16 GMT	1 point
	Great, great idea for a quiz. Tough, though- I only got 12, and of the half I missed, I've never heard of five or six.

	Liberal:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 15:17 GMT	6 points
	Please do a Toys Hall of Fame.

Comment below threshold: show it

	geniuslegume:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 16:55 GMT	-3 points
	Well, guys, these are games in the games Hall of Fame...not just crappy kids games everyone may have played in their life. Life, Chutes and Ladders, Scattegories, and pretty much everything else that people have mentioned in the comments have no place in a games HOF.

	DWolf:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 17:10 GMT	5 points
	@Dave432: It isn't a quiz of just board games, even though most of them are. D&D and Magic definitely aren't. Taboo and Yahtzee I wouldn't really think of as board games, even if they technically have a board with them (I'm not sure if they do or not).

	zalagreensbury:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 18:38 GMT	6 points
	Whoa,there's a game called 'Othello'...I pray it has nothing to do with strangling a blond woman with a pillow.

	Tank:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 20:12 GMT	6 points
	Next should be a quiz for all board/card games, not just the Hall of Fame ones.

	CarpeDiem:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 20:17 GMT	2 points
	I didn't know a bunch of these but for the ones I do know, it was a great trip down memory lane! :-))

	newenglander:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 20:22 GMT	7 points
	cant believe battleship wasnt on there.

	ntnon:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 20:49 GMT	5 points
	Zala Greensbury: Othello is a battle between Black and White for absolute dominance, trapping and converting your opponent's pieces and turning them to your own side...

	RyanUR:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 20:53 GMT	3 points
	Catan=amazing.

	pr:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 21:07 GMT	-1 points
	No Trouble?

	TIMTEBOW15:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 22:11 GMT	6 points
	Amazed that there is no Battleship, Operation, or, hy favorite Hungry, Hungry Hippos

	hydra351:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 22:17 GMT	0 points
	this is one of those games where you pull out your hair over the ones you missed. I forgot Stratego, Trivial Pursuit AND Taboo! And I didn't even think Mille Bornes would be on here. Axis and Allies, though, woo!

	DerKomissar:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 22:31 GMT	-1 points
	Where's Boggle???!!!!!

	Jaspers:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 22:46 GMT	4 points
	Come on GAMES Hall of Fame. Tribond is a terrible game. It's half bad puns, and half impossible-to-know trivia. Then again, I think Ker-Plunk is awesome, so this might be a push.

	Mizzet:	Mar 5th, 2009 at 23:36 GMT	5 points
	Yay my suggestion made it! As for people suggesting the list should be changed, it's a Hall of Fame. You can't just decide what you want in and out of it. If you have a problem with it, then contact GAMES Magazine.

	Siobhan:	Mar 6th, 2009 at 02:49 GMT	3 points
	@pr: Trouble is pretty much just sorry with a dice.

	Lenard:	Mar 6th, 2009 at 03:35 GMT	1 point
	Eels and Escalators anyone?

	jawa88:	Mar 6th, 2009 at 05:59 GMT	2 points
	Awesome quiz!! I knew most of them, I just didn't know who made them. When you're a kid all you know is that you're kicking your older brother's butt at monopoly =D
