When I was growing up, I hated board games. Playing in the snow with the boys was way more appealing then sitting inside with a bunch of game pieces, cards, rules, regulations, and stipulations. Now that I'm all grown up, and living in la la land, I realize I'm living a board game. So now, the question is, what game are you playing?

Monopoly~ An oldie but goodie. Force the others into bankruptcy by buying the best real estate, make the most money, and occasionally end up in jail.

Sorry!~ Try to get into the hottest clubs, the trendiest restaurants, or book Dr. Garth Fisher a year in advance and you'll get a quick-fast-and-a-hurry "Sorry!".

Life~ The goal is to make the most money, drive the best cars, and live in the most expensive house in the best location.

Chutes and Ladders~ Up's and Down's, In's and Out's, describes most LA rehab stays, drive through the hills, and certain people’s careers.

Operation~ Get (plastic) surgery and end up getting zapped and losing for not being skinny/attractive/hot enough.

Candyland~ In Candyland, the goal is to be the first to reach the Candy Castle. No reading required, but being blonde is a plus.

Trivial Pursuit~ Yes, it's still all about what and who you know.

Clue~ Goal is to solve a murder mystery; see Phil Spector or O.J. Simpson for details.

Dungeons and Dragons~ Focuses on role playing; the producer, the director, the high powered agent.

Taboo~ Players give word clues to their teammates to avoid the forbidden Taboo words: FAT, REHAB,WRITER’S STRIKE, and STARTER WIFE.

Risk~ All about global conquest and take overs.

Twister~ Pretty much every relationship in LA.

Concentration ~None required.
