    One of my brothers has a large version of Jenga that is fun to play.

    A lot of folks around here are pretty serious about corn hole.

    My family loves to gamble at everything so we play Tonk for $2 and $4 with 20191012_195227.jpg some outside friends. We also play keno for 25 or 50 cent a board and sidebet things like 4 corners and free space. Terrible I know.

    After 10 years or more of a regular pinochle game, my partner and I held perfect hands. My partner, who was my buddy's Dad, reneged and we lost (way too many 16 oz. PBR's). I laid the cards down and said I will never play this game again. And I haven't. That was sometime in the early 80's.

    I'm the type of guy who will crush a 5 year old's spirit by dominating a Chutes & Ladders game.

    I used to.
    Hubs likes to debate about everything.
    Timer doesn’t apply to his turns, he gets dictionary - nobody else does-

    Hubs would think he was funny when he’d make up words but he’d get pissy when we would prove that his “words” weren’t words.

    My blood pressure can’t take his funny sometimes

    Waaayyy back in the mid 80's - in the Foreign Service, Casablanca - we played a lot of board and card games for entertainment. Remember, this is the era before the interwebs, and the latest and greatest in technology was the CD player. We'd have a group of guys (communicators & Marines) bring over chess boards and we'd play and sip cocktails. Then we'd have a handful of "us" ;) over for a long and liquid session of RISK or SCRABBLE. I've often pondered how our entertainment hours were spent in the pre-internet / cable TV era. Darts were popular in both Vienna and Casablanca. These were serious effort darts...all sorts of fins, weights, etc. No goofing around! And sometimes we'd play with foreign embassy personnel, mostly the Brits, Canadians and Australians...sometimes the Germans or French. Different time, different world. Lots more hooman-to-hooman leisurely activity. Today? Surface and commute to work...commute home then submerge until we surface the next day. I might - MIGHT - nod at one of the neighbors from the confines of the Camry.

    I have always loved playing with my grand kids and I never let them win. They had to learn how to play and win. They are some great poker players now. We started playing when they were about 7 years old. Now they are 15 and 16. They delight in beating Granny A.

    Way back used to host a weekly poker game with low limits, till everyone got drunk and played 357.
    Now everyone has kids, serious jobs, no time, and my shit talking self proclaimed poker genius buddy won't even play because "it's unfair and he doesn't want to take my money".
    Sad. :(
