For a short time in my married life hubby and i would play cards with some friends... Mostly 'Spades'... have you heard of that? We were stationed in Germany and some military friends of ours would get together one night a week and play Spades.. It was great fun!! And i miss it to this day...
Not long into our married life hubby informed me he really doesn't like to play games....(Apparently at a young age his stepfather drove everyone crazy playing games so hubby was burned out on games... just my luck) You can see in the picture above the games i bought to 'entice' him.... And ofcourse i played with my young daughter... but she soon reached an age to 'old ' to play games...
Speaking of other games.... do you remember the childhood games... of ... 'Red Light/Green Light, 'Mother May I?', 'Freeze Tag', and the list goes on... I wonder if kids still play those today?? Some favorites of mine are Monopoly.... Trivial Pursuit... Clue! .... remember 'Trouble' ? Parcheesi...
These days i can get hubby to play Seek and Find games on the computer... Have you ever played those??? So much fun! Its really the only computer game i play... Hubby used to play some computer games but he said they've gotten so complicated he doesn't enjoy them anymore... Do you like to play games? Board/Computer ? What are or were some of your favorites?? Hugs! deb
Hi Deb, I grew up playing board games-the ones when we were really young. as a family we would play monopoly or put puzzles together. any card games were not allowed. (as was no dancing, no make up etc)
ReplyDeleteas an adult I really did not like board games, Larry never did and he was burnt out on card games because that's what his family played.
I do like puzzles but I do those at jigsaw planet online-they have tons of photos to choose from or you can upload your own photo-and the puzzles can be different shapes, rotated or not, and as many pieces as you want.
so sorry I am no help (hugs)
My wife and I like playing the board game, Chess. That's our favorite board game!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was young, I loved playing kick the can with my friends back then, at night. It was great fun!
I'm not much of a game player. Growing up I played endless sessions of Clue with my brother and cousins, all older than me. Risk was another game, Monopoly, Parcheesi. An other older cousin had a trivia game Go To The Head of the Class which I loved, but played by myself because she and my brother didn't like me tagging along after her. I played endless hours of Whist during my Freshman year of college. Trivial Pursuits was another fun game. I don't really play games now. The Young One majored in Interactive Media and Game Development at WPI. Can't find a job in the industry. She and a group of friends play endless hours of Minecraft and Dungeons and Dragons. As kids, Himself and I played Hide and Seek, Red Rover, Red Light/Green Light, but our favorite game was Kick the Can. I don't think kids play outside much any more
ReplyDeleteWe love games and so do my daughters, their spouses and the grandchildren. Joe I have a curling game that we play practically every day. Its kept us sane during the pandemic. We play crokinole as well. We have some outdoor summer games too. Great fun - and we keep it fun.
