It may not be an HR person pushing the games. It is entirely possible that some executive in the company heard about them and is telling HR that all the employees have to "play" the games. These "games" are apparently the latest buzzword, and execs get street cred when they can brag/boast they, too, are using the latest and greatest thing in their company. I don't work in HR, but my position requires me to work very closely with our HR department, and you would not believe some of the things the upper echelon has told them to do. Some of those things would have broken the law, and HR has had a hard time reining a few VPs in. What they get from these games is a bunch of statistics, which may be used to pinpoint employee weaknesses so they can get better training, or to pinpoint employee weaknesses so they can be let go, or which the execs can't interpret so it is all for nothing. One thing, though. I would never, ever, put company software on my phone. If the company wants me to use software that requires a touch screen, the company needs to provide the touch screen. Unless they want to pay for my phone and phone bill, my private phone remains private. Asking employees to put company-provided software on their personal devices crosses a line for me. First, it's a "game." Then it becomes requiring the employee to use their own device to do work. Not a good situation.

Yes we always have lots of fun playing it too Glenda. Patti, I wish I could teach you how, I learn better by just playing too. It is fairly easy once you catch on. We have played with up to at least 8 players before. We have a set of double 12's and also a set of double 15's (witch I don't care to use, too many numbers to add). If we do a tournament we were thinking that we would have several tables with a set of dominoes at each table and we would somehow rotate after each round. We just aren't sure how it would work. I thought maybe some one here might have done it before.

I have an obsessive compulsive personality and I love games. That's why I don't pay for it. The couple of times a year it's offered for free is enough for me. I appreciate when someone calls it to my attention that it's temporarily available.
