missing my childhood.

don't know if the following are also popular where you guys live.

f.l.a.m.e.s

a popular game at school when i was a kid. we would pick up two names, preferably our crush's. we then cross out similar letters and count the remaining letters. then we count from f to s then back to f if it's over 6.
each letter stands for something.

p.a.n.t.s

another game we played at school. places animals names things and scores. we choose a letter then under those 4 categories we list down something starting with the letter we chose.
e.g. the letter is f
places animals names things score
finland fox farah foam

scoring goes like this:
10 points if you don't have the same answer with someone els
5 if you have the same answer with someone
0 if you can't answer.
best played by 4 players.

At school we play le petit bac which is basically p.a.n.t.s


Why the fuck are all your game names acronyms?
 
Mostly in my high school we played Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, tabletop games, "mercy", Big 2 and ro sham bo.

Yeah, I hung out with the "white and nerdy" crowd. :D

Mercy - lock hands and fingers with your opponent. Press until one of you says "mercy".

Big 2 - cho dai zee. I actually have no idea how to play this - it's a card game in which the twos trump everything else.
 
@shlong, well those were just some of what i remembered we play inside the room.
we play tag, takyan, trumpo(top), hide and seek, tigso, patintero, tumbang preso and some more.
played those til i was 13.
when i was in highschool, the games we play changed.


tigso - you group into two teams, and each team would find a big stone to set as a base.
then you step or just put your feet on the base, the goal of the game would be to step on the enemy's base.
but you mustn't get tagged.
the rule of who tags who is if player a from team a left his base before player b from team b, then player a can't tag player b but player b can tag player a and player a will be held prisoner.
prisoners stand in a line next to the enemy's base. you can recapture your allies that were held prisoner by tagging them.

tumbang preso - like kick the can but instead of kicking the can and hiding, we draw a line a several meters from the circle where the can is which acts as a safezone. from there we throw our slippers, sandals or flip flops. to hit the can.
if we didn't hit it, we have to get the slipper and back to the safezone, but the moment we touch our slipper the it can tag us unless we reach the safezone.
i forgot the other rules when the can is hit.

takyan is....

can be played by team or individually. the only difference is the number of IT and who becomes it.
e.g. we need to do 20 kicks. if player 1 fails to do so, player b can save him by doing his and the previous player's number, 40, and so on. if there aren't any more players who can save player 1, he becomes it.
but if player 1 finishes 20, or if he didn't and another player saved him, can be it if the current it kicked the takyan overhead. you can avoid being it by kicking it overhead again.
the last kick(20/40) must be overhead or else it will not be counted as complete and you must be saved by another person.
 
mancala
a few others that I won't describe or name here as I hung out with some real dirty perverts.
a few card games... dominoes
watched magic the gathering but couldn't stand it.
