What games did you make up as a kid? (lemmy.world)

Here's one of mine:

Jenga Fortress

Split Jenga pieces equally and sit in a large circle (on the floor or at a big table). Everyone has one piece that is marked. Then everyone builds a fortress to protect their marked piece (the marked piece must be stood up on its small side).

Everyone gets a projectile. We liked using those thick rubber bands that came on broccoli at the grocery store, but you could use Nerf guns, balled up paper, whatever--as long as it's not too light and not too heavy.

Once everyone is ready, take turns firing at each other's fortresses, trying to knock down their marked pieces. Nobody can touch their fortress at this point.

Last marked piece standing is the winner.

Another one from my childhood: "Get Out"

We'd split up the money from a set of Monopoly, and each person would get a room on one level of the house. First, we'd hide all our money in our respective rooms, and once you were ready, you'd raid other people's rooms looking for their stashes. The main rule was, if the owner of the room was inside the room and said "Get Out" you had to leave. We'd sometimes make deals like "I'll pay you $X for one minute in your room," or we'd just try to be sneaky about it. Once you got some money from someone else's room, you'd go back to yours and close the door to hide it. Whoever had the most money at the end won.

Caveat: your mom is less than happy finding Monopoly money throughout the house, as you'd invariably forget where you hid some.

I love both your games! Seems like they would still be fun even now as an adult.
