(With thanks to BigChamor, who helped me write this at 2am.)
1) The game of Life: Economic Recession Version- Instead of losing your job and picking a new career, you wait ten turns before you get a new job. And you lose your car and you need to hitchhike.
2) Memory: The Eineklach Version: All bubby has to do is pick up two kinderlach from the same family and name them!
3) Obamanopoly- Collect money as you go around, then put all of it into the middle. Free Obama tee-shirt with each purchase!
4) Parve-Cheesy- Parcheesi for folks who want to play it after the shabbos meal.
5) "Ring"o- Bingo for kallahs. Put your chosson's name on each box. Each time you mention his name, cross off a box. See how long it takes to get the whole board!
6) Rush Hour: Boro Park Version- There is no way to win. You just sit and wait for everyone to leave the board, then you go home.
7) VeggieLand- for today's health concious parents. We don't want a game that encourages kids to eat candy. We want to encourage kids to eat their spinach!
8) Stratego: The Iraq Version- this game has no end and no winners. Mission Impossible!
9) Guess Who (Your Shidduch Is)- all pieces have a black hat and white shirt. "Does your shidduch have a blue an grey striped tie?" "Mazel tov! Your shidduch is Yaakov Friedman!"
10) Old Maid or Alte Bochur: solve the shidduch crisis or be the only one stuck without a match!

Hilarious. :D
Great post! Yeah, some of these games would be a real hit! :)
Hysterical.
But I think that B4S already has a Shidduch version out- not Guess Who- more like Life.
Very funny!
Brilliant Post! 7 took a minute to "chap"...
Obamanopoly. Still laughing.
I like these lists.
i would love to play old maid and alte bochur, that one had me cracking.
Great list! Gave me a good laugh :D
Pretty Pretty Princess... now renamed Aidel Maidel.
But instead of collecting jewelry, you collect a tehillim, a perek shira and an all black wardrobe. You win with the headband.
(The black ring is no longer the "bad" piece to get... it's now red shoes...)
lol
SD: nice job!
Love it! Contact MB, I'm sure they'd love to tap more into their frum market. :D
You're too funny...
I seriously laughed out loud by some of them. Ring-o...Rush Hour:Boro Park Version...Guess who.... You're a PANIC!!!
Thanks for the laughs :-D
Gotta say when I first read last wks Top Ten - I'll be brutally honest - I thought it would be a real dud! I figured you'd put up some corny top ten list - but I guess I underestmated you SD!!!!!!!! GR8 Job! Can't wait for the next list!!!!!!!
ROFL!!!!!!!
Chanie- Thanks. :-D
IAG- Actually, I am surprised they haven't made veggie land yet. With all the talk about obesity in america....
NMF- There can be millions of shidduch games. Number 11, which didnt make it on to the Top Ten (thanks to big chamor's insistence that it isn't funny) was gonna be:
Who wants to marry a millionaire: Answer all the questions correctly and you get to marry the rich guy's daughter! :-p
Frayda- Thanks. :-)
Freeda- Yeah, I wasn't sure how clear that one was... By the way, I totally mixed up Freyda and Freeda the first time you commented on my blog...if that explains some of the confusion...
SA- I take it you aren't a liberal? ;-)
MIM- It's a tricky game, cuz the cards don't look alike... You have to match them up. I am not sure exactly how though. :-P
TOL- Betcha needed it! lol
G6- Am I embarrassing myself if I admit that I never heard of that game? But either way, I like your adapttion. Except it would have to be Aidel Aidel Maidel.
TB- Haven't seen you in ages. Welcome back! Glad you liked!
Mushkie- Hey, ya never know! Apples to apples has a jewish version out...
CP- Hey thanks for the compliments! I guess you're rather impartial to Ring-O. ;-)
ZK- :-( I can't believe you think that low of me! If I have nothing decent to post I won't post anything. Not that they will be funny all the time, but I hope not to post lame and unsuccesful humor attemts either...
Hey! Don't talk about me behind my back! And I STILL don't think it's a funny game. So THERE.
Is this good enough for #3?
