Computer, board, card - what is it? Let's hear some heart-warming experiences with parcheezi... let's hear about some rip roaring drunken poker games!

My favourite game... hrm, well, I like cards... and in high school we always played •••••••... but we made a new version called, well, something rather vulgar... and we renamed all the cards to something vulgar (like 10 was "dick and a hole", queen was "•••••", king was "pimp daddy", etc. etc.)

So we'd be sitting in the hallway, playing cards, screaming "I put my pimp daddy on your dick and a hole!"

it was great

Blade's Of Steel on the original Nintendo system. Some friends and I made a drinking game out of it. Score a goal and take a drink. :) There were NO shutouts. ;)

The Sims were all well and good for the first week... i've had more fun finding more objects, creating new wallpapers, skins, floors, and roofs than playing :) hehe

Favorite is poker. We have had a "friendly" group game every Saturday nite (with some interruptions)for the last 20 years!!


Second favorite would be Freecell. My record is 64 straight wins. I guess I have too much time on my hands.

Juju, my dad's from Indiana, and that was his favorite game. Mine's Yahtzee. I rock at it.

Euchre! Maybe it's just the people I know, but it seems only the trailer trash people I know play that... ;)

yahtzee! I love that game too...

And Operation - what fun that was when I was a kid!

Boggle is great. Our son got the new game Mystery at Hogwarts (Harry Potter). It is basically a version of clue and good to play with at least four players. Online games? I go to the zone...

My family loves to play games. Mostly we play Trivial Pursuit and cards when we get together. But we also play Balderdash, Cranium and other board games.

The card games we like are Euchre (I am from WI, does that count as trailer trash?), Poker, different forms of Rummy and a few others.

Sis, I remember Clue ... that was fun.

I like Pictionary... watching people try to draw things is the best part!

Pictionary is such a classic game and yet I have never had a chance to play it. Winter puts us in the mood to play more games at night.

When we first got Boggle we played night after night until after 10:00 and could all hear the sound of those rattling dice in our sleep!

Blocktionary (at Playlink.com). It's like a combination of Scrabble, Boggle, and UpWords....sorta. Very addictive! You play against 1 to 3 other players, real-time over the net. There's a chat area during the game. There's a social (non-ranked) area and a more competitive ranked section, too. But beware! If you get started, you might not want to stop! (I'm in withdrawal tonight because Playlink isn't working correctly right now.) :)

...<staggering back to the board>...Max! that game is addictive. The site describes it as "scrabble on steroids"! Luckily, I had a very nice opponent who was very happy to whip me four times before heading off to bed. That was fun. Thanks for the link!

Mishamisha, spam, Leap - Euchre seems to be a midwestern phenomenon. Of course, it is only played by trailer trash in canada

Lance - I also like oh hell, hearts, and bridge, although I have not played bridge in many years.

I got addicted to online Jeopardy against real time players for a while, but it was rather hard to find a proper playing level. either I was playing against super whales who had played every game and had all the answers memorized, or I was playing against idiots who knew nothing. And kids were really obnoxious. Shoudn't they be surfing for porn, or something?

I'm happy to spread my Blocktionary addiction around! :) If you're playing and see cabernetor, that's me.

Non-computer games...hmmm...in college, we played Hearts a LOT, but haven't played since for lack of others who know how. Love Cribbage, but since my dad died, I only found one partner to play with and now she's passed away, too, so I'm out of practice big time.

It's hard to find folks who like to play games these days! Monopoly is always fun. Oh! I've had a couple of parties where I actually got people to play Cranium. It's great fun because it combines the best of many games into one, so there's a big variety of stuff to do.

Gee, wish we all lived closer so we could have a monthly game night! :)

Well, Max, anything is possible in cyberspace... I actually got 48 points in bloctionary this morning for 'c-r-e-c-h-e'!

...are you ready for your BIG day tomorrow?

LOL, Soeur! I'm taking the day off tomorrow. First order of business? Getting the first oil change on my wonderful PT Cruiser. Then off to the mall to restock on my favorite perfume, Obsession. Bowling league will round out the day. Woo Hoo! Do I live an exciting life or what? :)

Wednesday night, some friends are taking me out to dinner. That will be fun.

Keep working at Blocktionary. My highest one-word score is something like 138. I forget what the word was though!

Moon...what is Eric's solitare?....I want it and I don't even know what it is.

Wink...We have been playing poker with the same group for 25 years too.

Any card, board or parlor game. It is hard to pick a favorite. Tabou stands out.

Anyone know the card games Shangai and Barbou? They are terrific games and I never run into anyone that has heard of them.
