SPF: It's A Game I Play
I like to keep you all guessing ... if and when I am actually going to play SPF. Well this week, I'm playing.
Mostly, I am playing this week because this is the first assignment, that Kristine has given us, in a while were I could complete it with google image searches. I've had so many problems with my computer in the past two weeks, I am not daring enough to try to sync my digital camera and download my pictures.
Anyway, without further ado...
Games I Play
I have a paid membership to ClubPogo and I play most of the games on that site, especially the two games that are the "Weekly Challenges" for badges. But, when all is said and done, I'm addicted to
Mahjong Gardens.
Family Games
When I was growing up, my parents and I would occasionally play card games. One of our favorites was:
PIT.
Also, my Great Aunt Ruth taught the grandkids in my family to play Dominoes.
We usually played either 42 or Mexican Train. After she died, we have tried to continue to play and we still have fun, but it is bittersweet.
At my grandparents we used to play Wahoo all the time. I think next time I go visit them I am going to make them get the board out so we can play. Our board doesn't look exactly like this, because ours was acutally hand made by a friend of the family.
My Games
I need a set of dominoes but the games I own and have with me in Dallas and play on a semi-regular basis are:
Uno has been around forever and I think everyone plays this one. SkipBo was another one of my parent's and my favorite games to play. Phase10 I found out about thru an ex and some mutal friends. This game gets really fun when you have 5 or more people playing.
Did you play? Let me and Kristine know.

I love olives. Every time I come here I stare at the front page for a few minutes.

I have to play dominoes when I visit the inlaws. Usually we play Chicken Foot. Ever heard of it? ( I didn't know if we were the only ones subjected to it!)

My family plays train dominoes too. My grandma and I used to play Chicken dominoes, I tried to teach it to the rest of my family - they never caught on. Just as well, without Grandma, it just isn't the same.
I Played!

We need to teach you how to play some ivory.
Mom2mke
I make great tacos, I can't say that I've ever been to Panchos.
Kristine
If I ever make it to California, we will have to whip out the Phases.
Jana
My great aunt had a group over every Saturday night to play dominoes and drink margaritas. Now she knew how to live retirement up.
William
As soon as the restaurant opens you will be on the opening day invite list.
Charlotte
There is a dice version? Oh lord, now I gotta go shopping.
Tammy
Yes I have played Chicken Foot, but I was always better at 42.
Torie
I totally know what you mean about it not being the same with out that certain player.
