Yes when I was young, with my sister. It was "interesting," but not as interesting as some of the other board games we played.
It is not, however, something to be taken lightly. Christians are warned against "dabbling" in things of the occult because they can lead to a "dangerous" outcome for you spiritually.
I'm sure you remember the movie, The Exorcist, right? Well, in high school, I read the book (by Peter Benchley) upon which the movie was based, and also did research (for a paper I wrote) about the book and it's background.
Benchley based his book on an actual case of demon possession, only the child was a boy instead of a girl. The "trouble" for him really started when he played with a Ouija board and started to get "real" answers from it. He became fascinated and obsessed with using it. He was a "lonely" child who had few friends, and the "spirit" of the Ouija board became his "friend." Eventually, the spirit no longer needed the board to "speak" to him, and he eventually became possessed by the spirit. The rest of the story, about the boy's exorcism, well... Benchley sort of took off from there into flights of "Hollywood Sci-Fi" fantacies!
My point, I hope that you get, is that, as the Lord had warned not to "dabble," there were unfortunate consequences to using a Ouija board. But it's your choice!

A simple OuiJa board can be made with slips of paper with letters on them and numbers if you wish, as well a two slips that say Yes and No. Arrange them in a circle on a smooth surface. Place an upside down glass in the middle of the circle and have those who wish to participate place a forefinger on the edge of the glasses bottom. Ask a question.
Remember, the glass and the slips have no power. Your hidden thoughts, needs, and sometimes devinations will start the glass moving for good or evil.

Just a small spontaneous fire that started outside the room and a book flying off the shelf. Seriously. I haven't used one since...though I don't think in the right hands, Ouija boards are dangerous, I didn't know what I was doing at the time...I prefer tarot cards now.

ive used them a few times but only really got it to work once. nothing happend to me it was just kinda weird because we'd ask the "spirit" to pick up the leg on the disk or whatever its called because it went off the board and it did which i thought was strange. other then that tho nothing really happend

I had one when I was a teen into my early 20's, but I could never get it to work. I guess it works best if you have a partner, which I never did. My wife and her brothers played with one, and she got some answers, but they were incorrect, it turned out.

Heck no and never will. You should look the history of it on the Internet it is very interesting! If you believe that you will make it move to whatever you want it to. Old wives tale.
