What board games are good during a hurricane?

Hurricane ike is headed my way and i want a board game or names of board games that are fun for all ages. Or something. Or other ideas of what to do during a storm.


My favorite board game of all time is Scrabble, a classic. I like it because I like word games, and I enjoy the challenge of Scrabble. However, Mancala is a close second, because it is such an ancient game and is quite intriguing. It has been found in cultures all over the world, is deceptively simple, yet amazingly complex. It is well worth checking out. Also have games such as chess, checkers, monopoly, life, and taboo. Have lots of books, and a DVD player that works on batteries, with a few DVDs.

Buy Cheap Board Games
Daily Double: Boggle and Life for $0.99, Crazy Snowboard for Free 148Apps

EA Games has given us a great gift in preparation for the weekend: we have not one, but two great franchises on sale for $0.99. Both Boggle and Life have had their prices slashed to just under a dollar, while the Appvent Calender is featuring Crazy Snowboard, a 3D snowboarding game from eZone.

I looked at Life myself a few months ago, and it’s a great port of the classic board game. Almost every element makes the transition well, from the spinner to the colorful graphics to the fortunate and unfortunate events that happen to your poor character. Playing board games solo can be a lonely experience, but Life’s AI’s are competent and you can fast-forward through their turns; on the other hand, if you actually have a group of friends who want to play Life, EA’s Pass ‘n’ Play is here too. There are no corners cut when it comes to production values, and this is just one more great board game port in EA’s giant stable. Sure, it relies heavily on “traditional” family ideals (everyone gets married, everyone gets a house, unemployment blissfully lasts for a few seconds at most), but if you’re nostalgic for the old game, go for it while it’s cheap.

What material are board games made out of?

Perikles

I am currently designing a board game and I need to figure out what kind of materials most board games are made out of. I think it's cardboard, but I'm not completely sure.
I also know that it's not like a cardboard box witch is why i wanted to know, because that leads me to think it's not cardboard.


Usually it's a really thick, specifically designed cardboard.
