Board game for a 10 year old girl?

Codi Manchel: have them do pushups and jumping jacks If you have carpeted steps see how many times they could run up and down without stopping.

Olin Hallin: i play mancala, but i play the "fifth grade" version. this includes rules such as (1) if your last marble lands in an empty hole, then its the other players turn, if you land in a hole with other marbles then you pick up those marbles and continue (2) marbles only go into your hole and playing holes but you skip your apponents hole (3) if your last marble lands in an empty hole then if the hole above it has marbles you take your last marble and the marbles from the hole across it and add to your pile.(4) if your last marble lands in your pile then you go again (5) when the board is cleared then both players count how many marbles they have, the person with the most wins. hope this helpd....Show more

Sammy Hatzenbihler: The problem is Mancala (or Wari) is very much a folk game. It doesn't have standardized ! rules like Chess. It originated in Africa and came to the Americas with the slaves and traveled east with Islam as it expanded as far as the Philippines. In each country where it is played (and even different tribes in the same country) they have their own version of the rules.

Robt Heemstra: Scattergories, Monopoly, Life, or Boggle

Neely Youngblut: im not going to recomend a game cause it seems they always get thrown in the closet. i would suggest setting up a special play date where you can take the child out for a day and spend time with them like going to the zoo or even bringing them shopping to pick out there own present something like that cause thats what i remember is the trip not just the gift. plus its fun to get to go out with a reletive other than your parents sometimes...Show more

Curtis Josef: something like this is hard to value?is it worth $300 or $3,000 ?the good news is you had it in storage for a long time...the pieces aren't chipped, s! cratched, or brokenthe bad news is you can't find any identifi! cation marks....that's really important for a high-dollar set...Show more

Barrett Alosa: If youre looking to get a mass marketed game then I recommend Scattergories, Monopoly, Life, or Apples to Apples (card game). There are many other great games that are less known. My favorites for her age are Blokus, Carcassonne, Aftershock, Fluxx (card game), In A Pickle (card game), and Ticket to Ride. You can find these at you friendly neighborhood game store or Barnes and Noble. Hope this helps!

Mandy Mustaro: Sorry, guy, yet you're incredibly no longer an extremely solid participant. 1100 is an exceptionally destructive score. this is way on the low end of the spectrum. My USCF score is approximately 1700 in actual-existence (no longer Yahoo chess) yet i'm in simple terms an time-honored club participant. as quickly as I play in a rated tournament i'm getting my azz reamed vast-time by utilising solid gamers. There are some 2000+ gamers on Yahoo Chess which could beat y! ou and me blindfold....Show more

Cletus Makler: I bought an old chess set at a yard sale about 18 years ago and have had it in storage since then. Its a French Mexican war replica. Made of sandstone I believe. VERY detailed! The board is about 5 inches tall with drawers that the pieces are stored in. The king is about 4 inches tall or so. Again very detailed set. The drawers have a scene of three horse heads (the middle one is what you pull to open the drawer) and next to those is a scene of a women holding a wounded soldier. on the other sides of the board is a scene of men fighting. The top are horse shoes with a horse head on each square. French guys are green, Mexican are white. The highlights on the board are goldish color.! I don't see any markings of a manufacture. Any help on how I can get! more info or see the value of this would be awesome thanks!...Show more

Talisha Digrande: monopolyconnect 4sorry (the original not the sliders)and maybe aggravation(like sorry, just one or two more players)

Sook Hershkowitz: it depends on her interests, but a couple of months ago i had to buy a gift for an 11 year old girl and i got a question and answer sort of game especially for girls of that age. it is sort of a trivial pursuit format, and it has questions about hair and clothes and popular music groups and so on. she and her friends loved it. it is in a pink box, and i can't remember the name, but i got it at walmart so if you have a look at their board game section most likely you will see it.if she likes other sorts of games, maybe connect four would be an idea....Show more

Donald Caravalho: Most likely it is a problem with the yahoo games server, and that happens often. It sometimes takes them ages to fix these sorts of glitches.

Cedric Grimstead: It used to work, and I haven't changed anything. The email button sends the moves of your game to your email address. At least it should. Why isn't this working?

Hal Rouse: I Know, I want to look over my games and analyze them sometimes, but now i can't do it anymore.:(

Lucrecia Laurito: Monopoly.

Romana Stiman: Oh, please. . .do NOT buy Monopoly for this child. It could ruin her chances of ever enjoying the richness of board games (as it has been doing to people since it was invented in the 30s). Ditto Candy Land. At minimum, if you REALLY want to intro! duce her to a game, choose one that gives her AT MINIMUM, some opportun! ity to make choices that would influence a game's outcome (as opposed to games at which the luck of a dice roll, or a dial spin or a card turn denies a child the opportunity to influence a game).Look into Gamewright games, out of Massachusetts. They produce a line of games that steer clear of 'die-hard gamer' complexity, while introducing educational concepts worth learning - Ka Ching, for example, is a card game that employs multiplication in a fun sort of way. Most of their games (and to be honest, I haven't played them ALL) are not only fun and educational for children (and many are appropriate for 8 and sometimes below), but they are tolerable and occasionally challenging for the adults who teach and play them with the children.That said, more importantly, play whatever you get for her, with her. As painful as it is for me, personally, to admit this, even Monopoly is worthwhile, since at the age of 10, the most important consideration is not the name of the game, or its! mechanics, but the interaction of gameplay with an enthusiastic adult, whatever the title.Other recommendations:Maori (Rio Grande Games)Cosmic Cows (Yahtzee-like dice game by Playroom Entertainment)repeat or you're obsolete (an excellent game by Innovative Kids out of CT, which has won awards from parenting media; invented by a 14-year-old, it's an 'active' game that tests player memory in an absolutely hilarious way - see my review and 'back story' on this game at http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-2590-Board-Game... (you'll also find a review of Cosmic Cows out there, too; just got Maori and a review for it will be out there soon).The choice you make for this gift has the potential of formulating this young lady's impressions of board games for a long time to come. Don't just buy a 'box' for her. Look into games (www.boardgamegeek.com) and listen to what people in the board game community say about different games (I'm just one of those voices in the wilderness) and cho! ose wisely.P.S. I am not affiliated with any of these board game compan! ies, other than as a recipient of their games from time to time for purposes of review and commentary....Show more

Darrel Stele: I recently discovered the way I and my friends learned to play mancala about 10 or so years ago is not the actual version of mancala out there. I know there are many different ways to play, so I was wondering if anyone knew the version of mancala that we play.It's two rows, with four marbles/seeds in ! each "cup". How it's different is that if your last marble/seed lands in a cup with marbles/seeds in it, you pick up that cup and continue with those marbles/seeds. Only if your last marble/seed lands in an empty cup is your turn over. We also DON'T use the rule that says if you land in an empty cup, your opponent takes all the marbles opposite that cup. Does anyone know/play the version we play at all? I had no idea it's not the way most people play it, and I haven't been able to find the way we all play it. So anyone with an answer would be very helpful. If you need more information, e-mail or IM me at kiakalix@live.com [just let me know why you're contacting me].Thanks!...Show more
