Kalu, I haven't a clue! I'm an innocent. ? I'm sure someone will enlighten us.

Really ideal for grandparents and their grandchildren I DON’T think.
Was this meant to shock or show the rest of the old dears what a racy chap you are?
In poor taste.

Oh Spangler you really didn't think that post through, did you?
Sorry to say it came across as a bit pervy hmm.
You are right ladies, a real foot in mouth faux pas. It was poor taste. I am sorry.
(I never even done it actually.)

Oh dear Spangler, we understand.

I have never played it and as I don’t ‘get” poker and look pretty unpalatable sans clothes now I don’t think I’ll begin either.

Nowadays My most favorite game pokemon leaf green and this is such a great game. With tip-top pixel animation, an amazing plot, and a 10/10 adventure, it a downright awesome game.

I haven't been playing games for quite a while. The last one I played was MK 9 on my xbox 360.

Online....Scrabble or the brain games on the Peak app. If I were to play with people, it would be Mahjong taught me as a child by a Chinese gentleman. I used to have a beautiful bone and bamboo set but gave it away eventually when DH and I found no one to play with. Love the rattling and clashing when you all knock your walls down at the end of a game and shuffle the pieces.

As for actual computer games, I was addicted to Civilization but it brought out the worst in me and I spent so many hours at it, I eventually kicked it off the computer.

I remember once playing strip scrabble, definitely adults only.

Steady on Sara! Spangler (late of this parish) got a right ticking off for saying something similar!

I know, but in my defence, it was over forty years ago, and alcohol may have been involved.

Sara you did well.
I can't imagine being able to exercise my vocabulary and spelling skills; imbibe; and coordinate getting my kit off.
I would have got in a right muddle!

Well to be honest Fanny, I think some of the more complex rules of scrabble may have been broken.

For some mad reason this antiquated and rather odd thread has found itself in today's news letter

It's nice to see Maw laying into Spangler though - vintage stuff

I think the OP may have been referring to computer games, but could be wrong?

One of my favourite board games for 4 (or more) players is Master Piece, the art auction game.

Have been trying to find it for years, exdh seemed to have it when we parted.

Have seen it listed occasionally on Ebay, but too expensive for me!

If anyone has it at the back of the cupboard, do dig it out and play, it's such fun, especially if you finish one game and start another, because the fakes and the high value cards change, so you are never sure what you're bidding for!

On my ipad: FreeCell, Solitaire, Scrabble & snakes & ladders with granddaughters

Board games - chess. But I have nobody to play with. :-( Video games - Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game ever. The Assassins Creed new generation games are brilliant, starting with Origins. I'm currently playing Horizon, Zero Dawn, which I am enjoying. I enjoy story driven games, but a bit of good combat too. Not racing games, I'm afraid! I actually don't know anyone else of my age who is into video games. :-(

We go caravanning (or should I say did!) Some camping friends told us about Rummikub so we bought one. The DGC love it, the 7 year old can play it and the 12 year is very good at it and generally wins. Since we bought it another two camping friends have bought it and so has our daughter. Another one we have just got into, is Upwords like scrabble but building up to score points. Photo of Upwords.
Both can be played with just 2

I love Rummikub as well and was introduced to it on a camping weekend. It's a game that I play on my own now as I live on my own and I still enjoy it.

Dominoes with my grandchildren, ages 6 and 9, I remember playing with my grandfather as a child.

One of our recent favourites is Monopoly Deal. A quick game compared to the board version and is all about strategy. Keeps the grey matter going!

I love playing proper Canasta but have had to play it online this last year which is better than not playing it at all is my opinion
If anyone here wants an online game I would be happy to TRY to add u on my mobile phone for a game (I'm useless at technology but happy to TRY)

I also now play online Scrabble/Triominoes/Othello/Rummykub against the Internet which is better than going stir crazy with boredom stuck in these 4 x walls this last year ?

Thankyou ladies -I've had a good chuckle over this thread

I was not a game player even as a child. We had the usual board games but as I got older I disliked playing because my husband was fiercely competitive so playing games was not a good experience. I love quizzes and watch many on TV. Will be glad when lockdown is over as my daughter and I go out and quiz is often as we can.
