We played all sorts of card games growing up. We would use laundry clothes pins as chips, lol! They always went straight back into the clothespin bucket though! We loved Scramble, Upwards, Chess, Scotland Yard and Risk. We also made puzzles together. A lot of fun!

don't forget hearts and putting puzzles together. We still play card and board games and my son in law collects old board games I have never heard of....and I played a lot with my dad as grew up. My daughter became a chess champion, and my sister is a master competitive duplicate bridge player. I bought a "slap jack" deck of cards just this week for the grands for their Easter basket. Thanks for the memories. (I had a game similar to mouse trap, but I can't remember its name.)

We played Tripoley and Pitch. There were three couples that got together on Saturday nights.
As children we really did not play many games, because we were mostly outdoors. Later we did play Monopoly and Rook with my parents. We actually worked more puzzles as a family. What else do you use a Dining Room table for?

tic-tac-toe
tripoley - we used my fil's pennies during the game - and put them back in the jar when the game was over. each player was doled out the same number of pennies at the start of the game. "winning" the big pots was still exciting!

1. a board game popular in Canada in which players flick wooden discs (typically with your thumb and first finger)
2. The standard Crokinole board is a 66 cm (26”) diameter wooden board with a shallow hole in the center. Players flick small wooden discs on the playing surface into valuable positions. The playing area is divided into 3 scoring fields by concentric circles with increasing values towards the center. There are 8 bumpers around the most inner circle to make it more difficult to flick the discs in the center hole. The most outer scoring filed is divided into four quadrants. Players can only shoot discs from their quadrant. The most outer circle is the shooting line.

Played lots of board and card games growing up. Now, we belong to a couple of RV groups and a big part of the campout experiences is playing games in the evenings (and some afternoons when specific tours are not taking places. Playing games together binds people together socially--which games on the hand held devices does not do. Love to play games!
