Was it an indoor game or outdoor game?
I used to love to play hide n seek.

Capture the flag in the woods across the street. It was approximately one city block in size. Lots of places to hide, ambush, escape, and you could always hear mom calling for dinner. :-)

If you're talking about outdoor games, we had fun with Foxes and Hounds (team hide n seek) but we played sports games like baseball or softball or basketball much more frequently than F&H.

Board game - Fireball Island
Outside - the games made up organically on the spot because of the shape of a tree or the type of playground equipment we had, etc.

Boardgame - Tie between Crossbows and Catapaults, or some game that involved a giant board, battleships and submarines - the subs would fire these disks at the battleships which would blow up via rubber banded parts that would fly apart. MAN that game was cool.
Outside - Baseball, Kick the Can, and a local game we had called Snotgurglers. Dont ask.

Skelzie. I was block champ and I still have my chair-leg slider steel chips that I stole from a school chair. I could hit your junky bottle-cap chip from 20 feet away with that bad boy. I even filled one with molten lead (which I did not ask permission beforehand) for games when "changing chips" was called.

Favorite Boardgame was Screaming Eagles
Favorite outdoor game was hide and seek, we would get all the kids from most of the neighborhood and play at night, and there were two whole streets that we played on.  It was crazy but so much fun.

I loved playing Sardines.
It's like backwards hide and seek. One person hides and everyone seeks. Once you find the hider, you join them in their hiding spot... You can see how quickly the game earns it's name.

I thought nobody else had ever played that game outside of Brooklyn! Most people look at me like I'm nuts when I describe it!!! Loved this game, our school even painted skelzie boards in the parking lot so we could play!

I was a kid in the 60's in Weymouth (Dorset not USA) so:
Outdoors: Playing football on the beach.
Indoors: Must have spent Hundreds of hours playing RISK and SOCCERAMA and SUBBUTEO.
BTW Weymouth is the town/port that the American GI's departed from for Omaha beach on D-Day. Heroes every one of them.

Rainy Day - Gettysburg: 125th Anniversary Edition Talisman & Axis & Allies all saw so much action we wore copies out.
Non-Rainy Day - Electronic Survivor Shot
Capture the Flag
"Guns" - Imagination Powered Survivor Shot I guess
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey in the winter on the lake across the street, boxing from time to time when we got into arguments 
I'd say boardgames were THE form of play for days when we couldn't get outside to play. We had Super Nintendos, Sega Genesis, NES, Atari, and computers to play as well, but board games always seemed to get the most attention.

Outdoors: 'tanks'. This was a game in which a gang of us used to crawl around on our hands and knees on a patch of grass throwing fir cones at each other. We'd play it for hours at a time each year when the fir cones started to drop.
Indoors: there are several contenders for my favourite childhood boardgame, but I suppose I should really list the one I just bought off eBay- Formula One. I really loved the way this game wasn't a roll and move game, which was something of a revelation to my young mind. I was also very fond of Avalanche.
Memories, sigh.

"Relievio" across 4 suburban blocks of backyards and streets.
2 teams, one team get 25 seconds to run and hide. The second team has to chase them down and tag them. If tagged, you have to go back to home base. Once at home base, you have to stay there unless 'relieved' by a teammate by being tagged again.
you ran and hid, and ran and hid, and ran, and ran. A typical game started at sundown and ran until about 9pm - 2 hours or so.
Great exercise. 2 hours of running and hiding and chasing and climbing fences across yards and avoiding dogs and mean old men.

We had a huge sandbox (around 12'x 12') at a neighbors. We used to build sand forts on opposing sides (with a 4 foot DMZ in the middle). Then we would set up our army men in the forts. To play we sat on the opposing sides, outside the sandbox and would shoot our BB guns at the enemy army men. Around the 4th of July we would add fireworks to the mix (Firecrackers and Bottle Rockets) Whoever had the last army man standing won...it was a blast...but I still think I'm rubbing sand out of my eyes from those days...and my optometrist says I have some corneal scratches as well....youth!
