I have some of that in some sections, sure. I'm not too worried about it because I'm assuming next spring it will fill in quickly and you won't notice it at all.

This post is bringing up many wonderful memories. When I was a kid, our family played Yahtzee just about every night when we were on summer vacation (it was one of the few things that brought us together.) My sister and I would quietly stay up well after bedtime to have "Spit"(the card game) tournaments (it was also a great procrastination tool to keep us from homework--which also worked in college.) Our family also played Hearts, Spades, Sorry, Big Boggle (I can no longer find this version of Boggle) and Risk (there were always a lot of hurt feelings with this game.) When I was 16 I went on a bike trip across Maine with two older sisters--we brought a word dice game called Perquacky and played it in the camping area rest rooms (where there was light) at night (I think we only played if there was some sort of vanity shelf or large sink area. I hope we didn't sit on the floor.) Many of us got together this summer for vacation and we had fun with Texas Hold 'Em. My parents and a couple of my sisters really enjoy(ed) bridge. The games I've enjoyed playing with my kids are Scrabble, Cribbage (a favorite for my daughter and I when we are on vacation--we keep score with pencil and paper rather than a board), Sequence, Canasta, Chutes and Ladders, Life, Careers, Battle Ship, Rack-O and some lesser known games. Several of these come in small boxes and use special cards: Quiddler, Rat-a-tat-cat, Frog Juice, and for small kids Panda-momium and Hiss. We were/are particularly fond of Rat-a-tat cat and Frog Juice. Blink is also supposed to be very good. A game my teenage daughter and I got hooked on for a while is Fluxx--which is a card game with a special pack of cards. The rules of the game continually change depending on the card you play. It is great fun. We wore through a couple of decks. Mary 228: Harry's Hat game sounds like it would be lots of fun. Thanks for the chance to reminisce.

LCR is an easy game for the whole family. I found mine at a hobby store but it might be at Target or Wallmart too. LCR (Left center right) - Rules (copy and paste) LCR requires three specially marked dice and a handful of chips (quarters can stand in for the chips). Each player begins with three chips. The players determine who is to roll first. The six-sided dice are marked with the following letters, each on one side of the dice L, C, and R. The other 3 sides of each dice are marked with dots. The first player rolls three dice. He or she passes a chip either to the left, to the right or to the center pot, depending on the roll of the dice. If any dots are rolled, the player retains his chip for that die. The next player to the left then rolls 3 dice, one die for each chip he possesses, up to three chips. This player then passes chips as directed by the roll. If he should have less than three chips, he only rolls as many dice as he has chips. If he has no chips, he is not out of the game. He simply does NOT roll. Should the person to either side of him be required to pass him a chip, then he again has a chance to win the game and must roll again when his turn comes around. The roll passes in this manner around and around the table until only one player has chips. The last person having chips wins the game. She is not required to roll the dice. It doesn't take long to play and win. Fun to play over and over.
