Yeah... you can't accidentally knock over the board when your behind either (when you plan online).


But there's always the "oh, sorry my connection dropped, stupid internet provider."

And I looked up that Chinese Chess. That looks HARD!! I'm pretty decent at chess and I was completely confused by that game.

Renee - 2005-12-07 10:27 AM I should tell you that I've played Scrabble twice in my life. I would offer no challenge to you.

What a shame

She's sandbagging.  The question is, "Did she win both times?"  If so, I can still bill it as a "CLASH OF UNDEFEATED SCRABBLERS".

I heard it's similar, each position has unique move, and there is no Queen in Chinese Chess.  I don't play chess though. 

And how could I forget UNO?  Great late night game in the dorm with pizza.  The person who lost add up the numbers in his hand and do push ups/sit ups as punishment. 

Also Mahjong, play with money.

Chinese checkers = star-shaped board for up to 6 people.  Goal is to bring your 10 marbles from your side to the opposite side. 

Chinese chess:  with kings and knights and charriots, usually written in chinese characters.  Goal is to kill the king.   Difficult game.  I suck at it.  Maybe htat's why I didn't bother to learn the chess. 

Edit:  Check out this site.  http://home1.gte.net/res1bup4/chess_intro.htm#basic

She was talking about Chinese Chess. Chinese Checkers I know how to play. I'd never even heard of Chinese Chess. Very tough looking. Certain pieces can only go to certain parts of the board. Other pieces moves change when they cross the center of the board. "Orthodox" chess probably has more move combinations, but the Chinese version has a lot more rules.

This is making my head hurt.

How does one concentrate on such a game when they are holding a glass of eggnog & rum?

Pikmin II and there's another tv/video game where we split the screen 4 ways (so we can have 4 players) and there's a multitude of characters like Sonic and some hyper monkey. My nephew likes that one.

Oh, and Bingo (but my 7 yr old nephew cheats).

    • Nephew: B7
    • His Dad: Bingo!
    • Nephew: Wait. That's not right. (he draws another number). N24.

My recommendation:

Blockus is a great, fun game for any age.  We have an 8 yr old and a 5 yr old which can make it challenging to find a game that we ALL enjoy playing.  Love that it teaches analytical thinking!!

Just my .02

anyone play "PIT".....??
Apples to Apples?


I LOVE Pit! I played it for the first time a few weeks ago, a friend pulled his set (circa 1978) and we had so much fiun. NO skill required other than being agrgessive, loud bossy and uber competitive. My kind of game.

Also love cribbage, hearts, euchre, and Mastermind (which as a word game is even better- you scrabble palyers should try it-Jotto: http://www.panix.com/~sos/bc/jotto.html)
