    there is a game that looks like fireball island. youre a bunch of hikers, and youre trying to climb to the summit, but if you draw a card or roll a dice, you hit this button and a top spins down and crashes into your pawns.

    know what im talking about?

    This game was really fun when I was little. It was kind of annoying to setup though.

    punch yo face

    you shuffle the cards and when you draw the punch yo face card, you get punched in the face. the trick is, every card is a punch yo face card.

    I loved this game as a kid. The countdown 'til the virus took over the ship made it really suspenseful. Also, it was a semi-cooperative game so it didn't cause too many fights. Fireball Island on the other hand, caused many a fight when I was a youngster. Everyone would always hold all their cards until someone finally grabbed the jewel and made a break for it. Then there would be a single turn where every single fireball and reversal card got played. In the heat of battle fists would fly. My friends and I broke it out again when we were in college and we still almost came to blows. I think the liquor might have had something to do with it...

    Was anyone a fan of:

    Man, I love board games, but the only one mentioned so far that I've played is Hungry Hungry Hippos.

    When I was younger, my favorite games were Life & Clue.
