Greatest ever (non-computer) game
There have been 76 nominations.
All games using playing cards (52) have been listed under one entry.
The groups for the heats have been randomly selected by Excel, so if all your favourites are in one heat.... tough.
Round 1 will have groups of 5 or 6 in each heat.
Round one is purely to sort the wheat from the chaff. You get two votes each and the top three go through. If you only want to use one vote (or none for that matter) you can.
In future rounds you'll only get one vote.

Blimey! I recognised most of those!  Classic for me, pack of cards and draughts. Many a damp summer holiday spent with that pair, I can tell you. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I chose a pack of cards and Cluedo. I haven't played Cluedo for years but I have fond memories of Cluedo sessions with my family when I was younger.

Ditto HK, pack of cards and draughts for me.
I absolutely loathe Pictionary.

Pictionary and Cards for me. Playing pictionary was a nightmare if you were on my grandma's team as she always read the wrong thing off the card. Everyone else would be drawing a submarine and she'd be drawing a windmill (badly).

Cluedo and Operation for me, never really liked cards.

Cards and Draughts here.
Draughts only just beat Pictionary for me though - mainly because I'm really crap at chess.

Cards and Cleudo here.
It was a tough call not to go for Pictionary just becuase of a single incident when my brother and I stunned the other poeple we were playing with by getting 'Plastic' very quickly by virtue of the fact we are both chemists so it was very easy to draw.

Playing cards for me. It's my favourite to win; one of the oldest and most successful entertainments conceived.

Bridge and Draughts. I am not a good Bridge player but it is a great game. Draughts is ok but lacks that "edge" that I get from Chess.  _________________A Mac user
