Friday 12/1 Blog Prompt: Earlier in the week, we talked about favorite cartoons. Now I want to know your favorite board game, video game, or card game. And who do you usually play with?
I can remember when we were growing up, mom and sometimes dad would sit at the dining table playing cards and board games with us. I was never that good with my own kids. Oh we played games but just not as often as I did as a child. Nuke and I always preferred to put on a Weird Al Yankovich record and make up dance moves to the songs. No wonder he eventually took 3 or 4 years of ballroom dancing.
As I aged I found that I really liked Trivial Pursuit. Something about being trivial I guess, LOL. I don't have an eidetic memory, but I have accumulated vast amounts of useless information which I can recall most times (as long as I don't need to anyway). Better yet, I know how to locate the information I need. I always liked playing games like Life, Risk and Monopoly, but I tend to be pretty competitive in them so I have to be careful who I play those games with. Down deep I really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
I really never got into the video games like my kids and Pan did. Pan now has a X-Box that he plays the Star Wars games on, but not much of anything else, although I bought him all kinds of games to play on it. I do like playing computer games though. My favorites tend to games like Bookworm and Diner Dash. The first to keep my vocabulary up; the second to test my memory and speed.
And yes I love card games too. Growing up was Fish, War and Old Maid; by high school it was pinochle, hearts and spades, with the old stand by of solitaire. Now that the grands are around we are back to Fish, War and Old Maid.

Yaa Even though I can play cards a whole lot better... I'm not playing you in spades. Ever. ;-)
I love Trivial Pursuit, too! (My ex and his family hated playing me 'cause I could whoop their a$$e$ in that game!)
You need to play Monopoly with my son Eraserhead...he is extremely competitive and plays like it's for real money!
I saw a deck of Old Bachelor cards and a deck of Peace card when I went looking for card games recently.
I love Trivial Pursuit
I'm a Trivial Pursuit girl too. But only the original. I'm not so good with the more recent general knowledge as I am with the pre-80's stuff. And I'm hopeless at the specialist ones like Music or Movies.
Come on over, Tink, and we'll have a good old-fashioned game night...sounds like we enjoy a lot of the same things!!
