Let's see when I think of childhood games: We had a boardgame based on the old 70's animated Lord of the rings that we played a lot. Mostly it was just moving pieces from start to finish with hazards like enemies and mountains in the way as well as your fellow players. The other big family game I think we played a lot was frontier 6 which was an old west type of game which would have been better if the end condition was clearer (but it was fun to try to rustle the cattle or mine for gold so great for kids to play for a bit).
Candyland deserves an honorable mention because for so many people it was one of their first games. Sorry and Trouble were also early games I seem to remember playing a lot of. We also had guess who, mousetrap, don't break the ice, dizzy dizzy dinosaur. And when we got a bit more grown up we wanted to play things like clue and scotland yard.
Then we started playing card games with my grandparents when they came over and played a lot of 3-13 (which is a rummy type game with varying numbers of cards, 2's are wild, and everything has to play before you can knock) and up and down the river (a trick taking game where you try to correctly bid the number of tricks you'll take in a round (from 1 card to 8 cards and back to 1 card) to score points).
Nowadays, if you recognize the names of most of the games on my board game shelf I'll know you're a fellow board game enthusiast, speaking of which I was hoping to get a game of sherlock holmes consulting detective in today.
