What games (non video) do you remember/miss playing from when you were a kid?
My favorites from my days were Skelzies, Manhunt, Hide The Belt, Kill the Man with the Ball, Manhole to Manhole Football.

Does Marbles count?
Spent hours in the yard, bent over a circle, lining up my shots!
Cat Eyes, Tigers, and Steelyâs.
Thanks, nice to think back on a time, when time stood still.

We used to make up all sorts of games. The most thrilling of which involved a landscaping railroad tie that had a hive of bees in it. The object of the game was to jump on it enough to rile up the bees and escape without getting stung.
Sometimes I honestly donât know how I survived to adulthood.

Kick the can, backyard football, monopoly, and (ick) war. The little sister loved to play war and big brother had to keep her occupied. I can really relate to âmake love not warâ.

Christmas tree forts [after everyone threw their trees in the alley]
You and your buds would build the biggest fort you could, then send out âtroopsâ to steal the best trees from the other forts. Always had to be guarded 24hrs/day, even if you had to sneak out your window at night.
Whoever had the biggest fortâŚwhen the needles dried up on the branches, won.

Christmas tree forts
[/quote]
hands down one of the most original games Iâve ever heard of. brilliant!
Conkers are from the chestnut tree, not the sweet chestnuts you eat, the other oneâs.
They were left to dry and threaded with some string and the idear was you had to smash your opponents conker off the string without smashing yours.
There was some skinned knuckles, but we had fun.
Itâs a British thing.
