trying to decide on a game for our gaming table...which do you like best?

so, RH has these gorgeous versions of Monopoly and Scrabble that will look awesome on our game table.

the trouble is deciding between the two.

I love both games for different reasons...just seems like a different kind of fun...

so my question to you is...if you were coming over to my house to play a game, which would you want to play?

Monopoly

or

Scrabble

not that it matters, but I am awesome at Scrabble and only ok at Monopoly. Chat Icon we already have dirty Jenga and are stocked for Strip Poker...this is for nights after church Chat Icon Chat Icon

that's the problem!! the colors of the wood the games are set in are the same....so it's just the game board that is different.

I am thinking I am going with Scrabble.

first, b/c of it's overwhelming support here and second

I've decided I think it will probably be more fun to play drunk Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

hmm, what are the other colors in the room? i like the game, scrabble more than monopoly but in re: to decor, i like the variations of colors in the monopoly game more than scrabble. TOLD you i am totally anal about decorating.

eta: do you have a pic of the room or the game table?

are you serious or being sarcastic? if serious, what else would you suggest. not criticizing your opinion, just curious.

IMO, these games are PERFECT match for an antique game table.

ok, i totally misread the OP. i thought it read "DH" not "RH". i was assuming that your DH had both games and you were asking which one to display. yes, MAJOR blonde moment. anyway, after re-reading and viewing the price, i would purchase whichever game you would use most.

Scrabble!! Both are fun but Monopoly is a pain in the neck to set up and put away and it takes forever!

I'm glad that you are going with Scrabble...we have that one and it's definitely something DH and I can play together - we don't HAVE to have people over - I always felt Monopoly with 2 people is lame...and plus it takes too long (although there are ways to shorten it - you move a token around the board each time someone has a turn and when it reaches PP - game is over)

we also have Yatzee and Uno for group game night.

I am serious... I suck at Scrabble and my brother was so cutthroat at Monopoly that i don't like playing. So, if I was gonig to the OP house I wouldn't want to play either.

What are the other options? Actually, a checker/chess board would look cool in a table.
Esp. an antiquey table = older classic games.

of those options, I'd go with scrabble


but if it were in my "imaginary" house with my "imaginary" game table....I'd pick backgammon (like the good Armenian that I am)Chat Icon
