As I have mentioned in my post, Chutes and Ladders is a chance or luck game with no strategy involved. Monopoly is also not a pure strategy game. I am looking at pure strategy games in this article where there is no element of chance, luck or randomness. The outcome of the game is based entirely on each player's moves.Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-88244533515287896772008-10-14T16:49:00.000+02:002008-10-14T16:49:00.000+02:00i use to unplug the tv from the cable box and say ...i use to unplug the tv from the cable box and say - oh - the tv's not working now...and they had no choice but to do something else! i also set a time limit on video games - we also bought a small trampoline for the boys - gets the energy out!! luckily we live in the southern california desert so most days they could go outside for a while anyway..you know there are coats and hats to wear! so they could run with the dogs! and oh how many cames of chutes and ladders did we play! as they got older we would play monopoly -and not put it away for days! except you had to watch that little one who would take money! :^)<BR/>just a couple of suggestionssaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137204179261982057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-72190101140415592422008-10-11T19:01:00.000+02:002008-10-11T19:01:00.000+02:00Another pure strategy board game is the railroad g...Another pure strategy board game is the railroad game 'Ticket to Ride'.

I am focusing on pure strategy games in this article and so I picked three of our favorite games. This ties in loosely with my series of articles on giftedness. I'd like to restrict the scope of this post to pure strategy games rather than a list of recommendations for great board games for kids. If you have any suggestions for pure strategy games and your experience with them, that would really add value to this post.Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22910471.post-55975852985796689132008-10-09T07:48:00.000+02:002008-10-09T07:48:00.000+02:00we took Blokus for ur nephews in India and they lo...we took Blokus for ur nephews in India and they love it!
