I’ve been playing a lot of Scrabble lately with friends and family. Last game, my daughter scored a Bingo for 50 extra points by using all of her tiles in one turn. She spelled the word…“bureaus”. She is quite well-read and fun to play against.
So what are/ were some of your favourite board games?
I play a LOT of board and cardgames with my family…
The old standbys (monopoly, scrabble, risk, etc)
Plus:
The Grizzled
Pandemic
Firefly (the Boardgame based on the show)
Innovation
Forbidden Island & Desert
Cards Against Humanity
Tsuro
Smallworld
Etc.
I like playing Scrabble, but not with Mrs. Pixel. She gets it into her head that she has to make a certain word and passes up all kinds of points until she pulls the tile that lets her spell it. In the meantime I’ve scored points off of her everywhere and she is calling me a “cheap shot artist”. Now I just play it on my tablet.
I used to like the “Game of Life”. And “Careers”. These days I mainly play Cribbage once a week at the Senior’s Circle.
