Back when Friday nights consisted of pizza deliveries, two liters of Dr. Pepper to the face and one too many Cheetos Puffs, we relied on board games as our primary source of entertainment.

If you recognize these 12 board games, chances are you're a millennial that went to middle school in the 2000s:

1. Monopoly

You're lying if you say you've finished a full game of monopoly in one sitting.

2. Scrabble

The ultimate brain teaser that made us feel like a mini cult of Einsteins.

3. Life


The game we played to envision all the possibilities our futures would entail.

4. Perfection

The start of all millennial anxiety.

5. Clue

Followed by a Clue movie night with all three endings.

6. Guess Who

Before diversity became well established.

7. Candyland

The only game that gave your sweet tooth a run for its money.

8. Connect Four


Where we all learned how to strategize.

9. Sorry!

The game of sweet revenge.

10. Trouble

The only game where there's trouble in the bubble.

11. Operation

Probably the most fun, most adrenalin seeking game.

12. Mouse Trap

Whatever you do, don't get caught!
