Drive the car without getting into a wreck.... Here is a link that might be useful: Route-Rageous

I do a daily cryptic crossword with my morning coffee. The constructors are English, so I have had to learn some of the “tricks” of English cryptics (like when the clue mentions the Queen, they mean the letters ER, for Elizabeth Regina, will appear in the answer). and am learning terms about cricket!

I played checkers when I was four, but switched to chess when I was about 10. There are some great looking chess sets, and I always wanted an onyx one from Mexico. I haven't played chess since I was a child. In college I played bridge, but my family mostly played canasta and dominoes (42). I also like pinochle and have a cribbage board but seldom play it. For Christmas a few years ago, I gave my niece the game, Black Card Revoked, not knowing whether she would like it, but we had fun playing it with her husband and my brother. I did not win - my niece is very competitive. I hate playing monopoly with people who are overly competitive. I used to play Trivia Pursuit with my family at Christmas, and I was pretty good at that. I have a Jumanji board game in my closet here that I have never played. I bought it after watching the movie (I think on eBay) but I would have to watch the movie again before playing it, I think. In Canada, I used to play Crapola with friends that I visited there. It requires six dice and was pretty much fun.

I much prefer physical (outside games) to indoor games. For an indoor activity, the make your own food is a good idea. We were at a party a couple of weekends ago and corn hole and putt-putt (host have a small putting green) were a hit and it was teams, not individuals. The fire-pit area was a hit too and areas on the wrap-around porch to sit and visit. So my point is - no one felt like they had to do games, there were different activities. One group also made home-made ice-cream and then toppings were set out. The party pretty much took place outside (with food set up inside) although guests were welcome to eat/mingle inside or out. Fun and games was outside. It was a great evening.
