Welcome back from the weekend! Hope you enjoyed the weekend and are ready for a new week. I’m most definitely ready and hope this week goes by faster than last. We’re coming down to the last couple days before our move… which is in 2 days! I’m looking forward to unpacking and setting up my kitchen once again, as well as getting some good use out my stove and oven.
As I look around our home now, it’s extremely empty and rather lonely. I can’t help but think about all the wonderful memories we’ve created here and all the people who we welcomed over for meals. It’s only natural that a part of me is sad to say goodbye to the place that’s been a popular gathering spot every weekend for the past 2 years.
One of the things we enjoyed whenever friends came over was playing food & drink inspired boardgames. I have a decent sized collection of food & drink inspired boardgames, with my favorite being Foodie Fight. When you get my friends and I together playing this game, we can get pretty serious with a lot of fun trash talk! In tribute to all the fun times we’ve had playing Foodie Fight, a lucky reader will be receiving the boardgame for this week’s Foodie Freebie Friday!

We love board games! Drew and I play board games at least once a week. It’s great to get out a bottle of wine and have a vicious match-up in Monopoly 😉
My favorite game was Monopoly. I had a friend when I was younger and we played Monopoly all summer long. We actually had two games worth of stuff b/c there was so much money, houses and hotels needed.
I used to love Candyland as a child! What a great giveaway, my husband and I collect boardgames and this would be a fun addition.
My favorite game as a child was monopoly.
As a small child I loved Candy Land. As I got a little older LIFE became my favorite.
Foodie Fight sounds like a such a great game!
Looks like fun! We always loved Shoots and Ladders
My DH and I still play board games all the time….My favorite childhood game would have to be either canyland, or uno!
Life! I always tried to stack my little car with girls since pink was/is my favorite color. =)
Though now, I can’t believe that I liked a game in which life was so prescribed! How boring.
toss up between Girl Talk and Twister (that’s a giant board game right??)!
I have always loved games! It’s not quites a board game, but I always loved boggle! After that, all of my favorites were card games as a kid. Now my favoite board game is ticket to ride.
Trivial Pursuit was always my favorite. Monopoly is a close second.
This foodie trivia game looks awesome!
Oooh, the Foodie Fight game looks like so much fun!
My favorite game to play when I was younger was either Trouble or Hungry Hungry Hippo. When I got a little older, my favorite was monopoly (YAY, MONEY!!)
I loved operation!
Totally monopoly, cause I always won!
I loved Monopoly! My sister and I played it all the time.
I grew up in a trivial pursuit household – that and card games like gin and war.
I still love trivia and foodie trivia sounds awesome!
Oh, gosh. I played Candyland so often that everyone in my family was completely SICK of the game! I think they were relieved when I got old enough to finally move on to Monopoly 🙂
Monopoly was my favorite but my parents didn’t like it because the game took forever to finish! =)

I always loved Clue..the boardgame, the movie, you name it! But really I would love to play anything I could talk my mom into playing with me…;)
Great giveaway – that looks like an awesome game!
I made a hybrid game of Monopoly and Clue and called it “Monopoly Extreme.” I always won (but that’s just because I made up the rules as I went along).
I loved Guess Who…it was the only reason to go to my friend’s house! 🙂
I absolutely adored Candyland, though now my favorite is Apples to Apples.
I loved Mall Madness. I could have played that game for hours–I’m sure I did! I also loved Monopoly. Clearly I had a thing for making money and spending it!
Monopoly RULES!!! I love that game and always will!!!!

I used to love to play Monopoply, Uno, or the Game of Life.
Recently I have started to like playing Scattagories. 🙂
monopoly! i’m such a nerd!
I always enjoyed the game of Life; Clue ran a close second. I still love playing games!
Trivial Pursuit was always our favorite!
Chutes and Ladders!!! Still love that game!
My friends Kathy, Jackie & I LOVED to play The Bride Game and Mystery Date. We each had our favorite couple's/dates we tried to collect. We also played Masterpiece a lot. If there had been a foodie game back then I'm sure we would have had that in our rotation.

Monopoly! Me and my husband still play it All. The. Time.
I love Monopoly when I was little. We still play quite a bit of Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble. Scattagories might be our fav game right now though.
What a fun giveaway! Growing up it was Monopoly and now it’s Scrabble – my dad and I like to clog the board with 2 letter words so no else will play with us!
My favorite game was always Chutes & Ladders. I remember many a rainy day playing it with my Mom and sister. Now I can't wait for my son to get a little older so I can introduce it to him as well.
Snakes & Ladders!
thanks for this! hope i win 🙂
That game looks so fun! When I was little, my favorite game was Aggravation, for some reason.
I really liked Connect Four when I was young. Simple, it didn’t take too long to play and I could usually win. (Okay, my sisters were younger, so I had a bit of an advantage!)
Monopoly & life were always our fave games!
Oh – my fave game was Yahtzee combined with Trivial Pursuit. My sister and I made it up – we called it Not-zee Pursuit. Everyone thought we were playing some German Game.
My favorite games I played with my younger brother were Sorry, Trouble and Hungry Hungry Hippo. The Hippo was the best because it made the most noise!
I loved Candyland! I would make anyone play who even came near me! hahhah 🙂
Or the card game “Speed”…someone taught me and then I became obsessed…I always won.
cheesy, but I liked Mall Madness!
We played the board game ‘SORRY’ I loved it. Especially knocking the other guys back to the start.
My family and friends and I love boardgames too, and this would be a great addition to our collection!
As a child I’d have to say one of my favorite games was boggle. I know that’s really not a boardgame, but I have fond memories of playing with my grandma on lazy Saturday afternoons and I think that’s why I like it so much!
My favorite was Candy Land. I always wanted to be the green guy! My husband is board game junkie. We love to play Bananagrams (like Scrabble).
Toss up between Stratego and All the Kings Men…loved em both and nearly impossible to find!
