You nailed it! I hated Monopoly and the reason for that is because I never was any good as a business person....and don’t even let me roll the dice...never became a professional gambler either! I usually folded early after I realized I wasn’t going to be a real estate mogul. I always played by the rules.....silly me. Now Scrabble really annoyed me because I wasn’t a good speller and had no idea what a dictionary was.... Card games were more my style. Spite & Malice, Crazy 8’s, Uno,etc. I enjoy Poker and Blackjack as well....especially if I can be dealer. |

Now that I remember....The Game Of Life. It was all pretty random as a board game as you had to spin the wheel to advance your game piece. It was good predictions as I always ended up in the poor house. I wanted to write the company and suggest a more modern updated version including landing on the wrong side of the tracks or a space for victim of circumstances. Things that are all too true. |

...did you ever play the game Risk? That was one of the games with a zillion pieces that my cousin liked to send into orbit. I still have The Game of Life. One problem I had in that game was that I'd have too many kids and they wouldn't fit in the car so I got a small block of wood, fashioned it into the shape of a limo and drilled out ten holes. Painted it up nice and I was ready for whatever came my way. Liked Battleship but I was prone to move my last ship around the board if someone called a "hit". I passed it off as being a good Captain. These days Poker but I was never the type to lose my paycheck like some of the guys I'd play with. Money on the table was what got used and that was it. Used to get together almost every night with "the boys" and play euchre when I was younger. Nothing these days. |

...I also caught hell for eating the mixes from the Easy-Bake while still in packet form. |
