What Are Your Favorite Card & Board Games? Any Recommendations?
Comments (53)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....See MoreGetting ready for weekly game day! Do you?
Comments (12)I play bridge three Mondays of the month, two Tuesdays of the month and Mexican train twice a monthâ¦â¦they're all different groups of people. This month it's my turn to have Monday bridge and this particular group plays at 9:30 and then the hostess serves lunch. Usually 3 tables of duplicate but this month we only have 8 players so I won't even have to put a leaf in the dining room tableâ¦YEAH! In between, I play 18 holes of golf 3 days a weekâ¦â¦.77 and going strong!!...See MoreWhat are some of your favorite games? (board, card, etc.) :)
Comments (38)I love games....I picked up a game once on clearance at Marshalls. It was called Times To Remember. It's a trivia game with questions ranging from the 1950s to mid-90s. I thought it was very clever and have never seen another trivia game quite like it. (my description below) So if you're over 40, you'll love this game. You can play with two people or two teams. I forget the actual rules...but we play like this: You both have a big round disc with years marked. Then you have these big paperclips with 'year spans'. Questions are asked to BOTH teams at the same time and you must guess the year (with year span clips 1 thru 7). Be sure to whisper and point...you don't want your opponents to hear you. If you know a question 100%, then use your ONE YEAR clip. If you have no clue, use your 7 YEAR CLIP. First team to get rid of all their clips wins. It's currently on Ebay...if you're a game queen like me....get it. Just about everyone that plays it, thinks it's fun. Younger people tend to have a tougher time with it. But what makes it fun...is you don't have to be a genius! You might just 'kinda know' or have an 'inkling' or you remember what grade you were in when it happened....so it's a lot of fun. The questions range from super easy...to 'how in the heck would I know'!...See MoreCard or board game?
Comments (42)As their name suggests, gambling aims to make as much money as possible and offer only opportunities that I think only experts see. And play at https://leon.casino / slots / all / top. Maybe they would win something. I'm not lucky enough to win, and I'm not so good at games. Even if I play from home, it would have no charm when I'm physically in the casino atmosphere does everything, especially you can meet rich people, as they're usually so people come not those who have nothing to eat. How do you think I'm right or not?...See More- 10 years ago
