Board Games

Trivia games (I miss the old Trivial Pursuit with the Art and Lit category. Mom killed us in history, but we teased her that it was because she lived through it all.)

So many others I can't think of. I love games. When my family and I play a new game, we decide first if it's a "blurter" game or not. For example, you can't just keep blurting out answers in Trivial Pursuit until someone goes "THAT'S IT" you have to settle on one answer or shut up. Some games are all about the blurt.

As much as I love wordplay (like cryptic [british] crosswords) I've never been very good at scrabble or boggle...anything with making words out of a set of letters. Weird.

monster: my friends and I play yahtzee a lot and I make them put their name and the date at the tops of their score cards so we can look back at scores and who won when. I'm competitive too. Well, also, we can see how badly we mess up the cards after so many beers.
