We are also Rumikub feaks! I just learned how to play Settlers of Catan at the beach house!

I love “Spite and Malice.” We often play Rumikub, Uno and a bastardized version of SkipBo. Over the last several years my brother has bought our family some wonderful board games from Germany: Settlers of Catan, Carcasonne, Ticket to Ride, and Bohnanza. These aren’t for very young children, but they are really fun to play. And, of course, there’s always my all-time favorite — Scrabble.

My best friend and I would play “Spite and Malice” whenever she came for a visit. And when the kids were off at college, my hubby and I played “Cribbage” and “Russian Bank.” When the kids were small we got together with two other couples every week and played “Hearts.” It has been too long since games have been played. It is time we reinstated game nite at our house! Thanks.

We have a family game night at least twice a month. It is a special treat for all to be able to sit down with each other. No work, no phone, no laundry or computer, and just enjoy my husband and my kids. Blockus and Apples to Apples are other favorites. The other day, my oldest (13) suggested Charades. No materials needed….just pure creativity. We all had a blast!
