Not for a Sunny Saturday

We just played the funnest board game a couple of weeks ago--HeroScape. My Ninja Assassins, however, did not kick butt; infact, one was eaten by a dinosaur . . .

Perhaps my most favorite game, right now, would be Settlers of Catan; I like a game where building appears to be the main objective (even though it often turns to deconstructing one's opponent).

I loathe Scrabble--for obvious reasons.

I have a friend who says she can kick my butt at Risk; however, since she currently resides accross the Atlantic, this has yet to be proven. I am undefeated at LOTR Risk (but I've only played one other person).

In 4th grade I was vied for champ at Connect Four, a game that has since lost its appeal. Oh, and Checkers has always been fabulous--especially Chinese.

Othello, Pente, Jotto, and Backgammon are all very distracting when puzzling the mysteries of the universe . . .

I've been playing Cards since I was 4; Canasta is must; Euchre is horrible to spell but fantastic with the right partner; and sadly enough, I do admit to enjoying Texas Hold'em. UNO and Phase Ten are cute.

I once played Clue, Monopoly, Parcheesi, Sorry, and Agervation, but no longer. I hate to play Chess b/c of its cultural eqivalance to Shakespeare: I never want to lose, or risk loosing.

At parties, no one ever wants to play Taboo, Charades, Trivia Pursuit, Boulderdash, Adverteasing, Pictionary, or Twister, except me.

Did I mention Battle Bowl? I know nothing of football, but this game is fun.

Our little family plays Trivial Pursuit when we get together. Cuppa and I do best on the older versions, but the newer the versions the stronger the young ones and weaker the old ones.

I was once more or less Mr Chess in our school board. I could beat most of the kids most of the time. Except at speed chess. They'd always beat me at that.

We play Scrabble with our inlaws. They're both good and serious. Cuppa and I are neither.

We play Wizard with Lady Bug, or used to.

I love scrabble but The Peanut King always makes up words...I HATE that.

And I LOVE poker too (and am pretty good at it) but really suck at chess (therefore, I do not play it anymore).

BTW, an online video game version of Risk is available... so you could challenge your pal across The Pond...

...Unless yer yella.
