I too enjoyed board games, though somewhat in a different way. I played my own version of Fisher-Price baseball. I took a bunch of "little people" that were just 2"-3" tall and would hold the "batter" in my hand with a crayon as the baseball bat. A small wad of masking tape was the baseball. My building blocks were the outfield fence. All my little people had names and their own statistics cards to measure their performance. My league consisted of 5 teams that played a round-robin schedule. I even sold a "punch card" type of season ticket to a neighbor or two for a quarter a piece so that they could come watch my league and cheer for their favorite players.

I had other games that time won't permit me to share right now.
