You could do classics like "Uno" and "Spot It" which both you can find on Amazon easily.

"Word Around" is a circle card game, like Spot it. You can also find it on Amazon. I've played these games with kids between 9-13.

Good SUNDAY morning! DH and I have had our first major 'disagreement' over the placement of several Snow Village houses (lol), so thought it might be a good time to check in. Marci, could you please send me the link to the album? I don't have it marked as a favorite on my home computer. Also, I plan to download some photos of our decorations next week (at home) and want to send them to you for the album. Making a big pot of soup, doing laundry (I miss BJ!), and plan on wrapping some gifts after DH leaves at 1pm for the JETS game. This afternoon I need to run over to Trader Joes for some nice blanched almonds, pecans, and walnuts for my baking. Tomorrow I work from 8-Noon and will do more baking during my 1/2 vacation day. Don't know if I told you guys, but (in the spirit of Diversity) we started a corporate holiday choir and I have a rehearsal tomorrow at 9am; otherwise, I would have taken the entire day off! Good news about having to use some vacation to come in is that they are allowing me to carry over 13 days into next year's time. That gives me 55 days for 2007!! The carryover will come in handy as we are going on an 11-day Holland America cruise on January 6 and taking a week in March for Florida. DH likes winter vacations, and since he truly kicks back when he has the least worries about work, it makes the time away that much nicer. OK, time to get back to DH's way of doing things once I switch another load from washer to dryer. Have a great Sunday. GO JETS -- GO STEELERS (for Marci!)

What Are Your Favorite Card & Board Games? Any Recommendations?

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.

What are some of your favorite games? (board, card, etc.) :)

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'!

Also an extremely fun game is "I Doubt It." You use a standard deck of 52 cards.

how funny, party! I was just about to mention "Mille Bornes"! Great game, available on eBay for decent prices (saw it on Amazon for $29 and one eBay listing for $90+ -- but with free shipping. LOL. )

Left, Right, Center. Easy and if you don't want them to "gamble" use candy or other treats for the prizes.

If you're talking about regular playing cards, at that age we were all wild for Crazy Eights, and did a variation of Crazy Ones (aces wild, start with one card in your hand), Twos, etc., working our way up to eights. We started with eight cards each, though the rules in the link say five. Which you use depends on how many players you have (eight is better with two players, but five is probably better with four) and how long you want the game to last. We never counted points. Just shuffled and dealt again. Most of the kids I know have never heard of it, so it might be a good one for something old that's "new".

Gin Rummy and Cribbage (you can draw or print out a board and use buttons or Monopoly men if you don't have a board) are also a lot of fun at that age. There was an open ended Rummy game that was big at camp, because it was quicker and easier than Gin, but it doesn't require as much high level thinking because you don't have to manage exactly ten cards.

We enjoyed playing Cribbage with our father when we were that age, and we learned how to add playing it. I also like what we called Dirty 8 with a regular deck of cards, though some people call it Crazy 8, but this is not the game Pillog describes. More like Uno. Hearts was another game we enjoyed, and as kids we played for hours on our vacations to a cabin on a Wisconsin lake.
