Well?

That every fondly-remembered game is steeped in the spirit of Each To Their Own is a given.

I can only mention card games such as canasta, poker, Swedish whist - no board games.

I loved the “Escape from Colditz” game.

Had forgotten all about it.

Monopoly
Easy Money
a Monopoly clone with lots more opportunities, which meant players didn't get locked out of the property-purchasing process so easily.

Pick up Sticks
brains not required, just a steady hand and a bit of basic physics

Fish
easy card game requiring large hands

Snakes & Ladders
same as Chutes with better drawings for the "chutes"

Yesteryear? Sounds like a vintage narrator.

Tune in to listen to the adventures of yesteryear.

But there is yesterday

Why not yesterweek, yestermonth, yesterdecade etc
