Do you and your spouse ever play boardgames?  email this discussion to a friend?

My wife and I were big on boardgames, computer games and video games when we first got married.

I knew she was good at scrabble, so I would challenge her to a game of scrabble from time to time. Ironically I was always good at video games (like Tekkan) and she would love to challenge me in that.

We've been married going on 9 years on January 29, 09'. We haven't played a boardgame in quite some time. She has been busy establishing her online business and I have been busy writing reviews, mylot, a few PTC's and a couple other Legit online business opportunities, that I've been benefiting from over the past several months.

Did you and your spouse (or girlfriend/boyfriend) ever play boardgames when you first got involved, but now it seems as if that part of your relationship has subsided or even potentially died? What games did you used to play?

We have a "history" with card and board games. When we were first married, my husband taught me several new ways to play rummy and we had a lot of fun with that. We also played Uno a lot. In fact, we had a perpetual game going for quite some time. One night when I was pregnant with our first child, we were in the middle of that perpetual game when my water broke! Now we play a lot of Uno with our kids. Our daughter is 10 and when she was smaller, it was one of the only "grown-up" games that she could understand.

My husband and I also love "upwords". We are both word game lovers. This is our Favorite! We haven't played it in awhile and I think I'm going to suggest it tonight!


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

OMG! Upwords overrode scrabble when she discovered it. When we first got it, we would play strip Upwords. The person who lost the game would have to take off a piece of clothings. SO we would continue to play until someone was completed undressed and well no need to say the rest.

Thanks for responding, I'm going to make that same suggestion for tonight as well.

Woo! TMI!lol
We love upwards and our goal is always to use ALL the letters (both his and mine). We start helping each other towards the end to do it! I should say that I probably win more times (it's always really close) than he does but he's a pretty good loser considering that he's an editor!

Oh, and no one can beat me at Big Boggle! rasplol


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

LoL ~ TMI ~ All I'll say is the game is on for tonight then! ~ LOL ~

Okay but seriously, Big boggle ~ Haven't heard of it, is it a word game or some sort? I'll have to do a search on the internet and check it out.

Wow ~ Your hubby is the editor, and majority of time loses at upwords? ~ Maybe you guys should try our version of it. I'm sure with all of the stress he's under at his 9 to 5, that he'll find it exciting, or maybe you will. ~ Who knows?

Gotta go, and I like to kid around alot, so don't be offended. Thanks for sharing.


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

I searched big boggle on the internet and it sounds intridging indeed, will definitely have to check it out. Thanks again. Good night.

Yes, we used to play scrabble, snake and ladder and chess. Our all-time favorite is scrabble! However, since we have our baby November last year, we rarely have time to do this. Maybe when the baby gets a little older, we can have some time again! It was fun! We both enjoyed everytime we played. I'm missing those days with your post. he he lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Actually as your child gets older the games become even more interesting in my opinion. It's always fun to see my kids play chutes and ladders as that is a simple game they understand well.

You should see them when one of them wins. Daddy can we play again, cause I want to win this time, is the one who lost response. And in my household the winners usually says "NO WAY" I'm going to win again! lol

No, we do not nor have we ever played board games together. I don't really see that happening. I wouldn't want to play board games with anyone though. I remember back in h.s. in one of our classes we were required to play board games, and I disliked it so much. For some reason, I just hate board games. I don't find them fun at all.


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

WOW, I am very shocked to hear that.

What do you guys do for fun, amusement parks, regular parks, Dave and Busters, arcades, six flags, water parks or disney or even Movie theaters?

I think you'd be the only response I receive like this.

There is nothing wrong of course, just unusual to see.


Thanks for sharing.

yes, my husband and I used to play PC games when we were newly married. Then he got very busy and I too was a full time mom. Then we played carrom board, which was very interesting. Now we don't have that and we play badminton sometimes. I guess the games keep on changing. We dont' stop playing. We just play different games at different times of our life.


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

LOL! Very true. I think tonight, I'm going play a different game outside of the boardgames. Just for mommy and daddy to play, and of course when the kids are asleep. I think that the creativity in marriage never dies, but sometimes it turns brown as if it were to die. But like burmuta grass, comes right back to life with a little water. Keep the fun alive, whatever that might be for you and your hubby. ~ Happy mylotting!

when we are chatting before we use to play online games whom we think that is interesting that is to add some spice of chatting and never get bored talking each other everyday lol

but now we live together we dont play together since i like to be in computer and he like to be with his xbox game.

but there are time when i think i need to relax, i have to time out here in mylot and i have to bother him playing until he told me go back to your computer and we will be laughing lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

How that is interesting and kinda erie?!

The most important thing is that you both understand one another's need for companionship and time together whenever that my be.

My wife and I are on the computer a lot as well. She is always telling me about some new social network and business related avenue that can assist her in accomphishing her overall goal of being a stay at home mom and entreprenuar. I'll listen to the interest parts and share with her my avenues of earning online as well.

The communication is the key and the time together with the same goal or interest is the objective.

Kudos!

my hubby and i like to play scrabble sometimes at night during the winter but we dont get that much time to do that. we sometimes have family fun days when we cant go out due to bad weather and we pull out the monopoly game or scrabble game.

Hi hdjohnson. Yes, my husband and I do play boardgames sometimes. He works a lot so sometimes it's hard to do something like that, but sometimes we get to do it. When my kids come over we all like to get the games out and play them. I think it's a great family time.

When me and my guy forst got together, we didn't always have the cash to go out and do the things that we wanted to do, so we made the most of it by having games nights with friends that were in the same position as us. Occassionally we may have had a poker night where we could win money, but generally, we played Atmosfear or monopoly and otyher such board games. We also used to spice things up by incorporating a few beers or whatever.

These days, we tend to not have so many games nights where we invite our friends around. Maybe this is due to us getting married and moving away, but also because our friends have kids and stuff now, so it makes it a little harder to organise. However, we still play boardgames, and actually, we still play them fairly regularly. Scrabble is a particular favorite of mine, and he likes Frustration, although he ALWAYS wins and it frustrates me! Ha ha!

I think boardgames and Wii games, and Playstation games keep us occupied when we have no money at the end of the month or if we are having a particularly expensive month, and we can sometimes combine it with a bottle of wine or a few beers.

I love playing boardgames, and so does my guy, and I guess we are lucky to have found eaach other, as none of my ex's were that fond of them! We are both pretty competitive, so we keep scores of who wins what and whoever wins gets to pick a prize of their choice, from the naughty in bed, to chocolates and other such things.

Boardgames only become boring or slip out of your lives if you let them! I don't, and we have plenty of fun with them, adapting them occasionally if we get a little bored!


myLot reputation of 97/100. hdjohnson (1220)   ranked 47 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  4 years ago

Such a wonderful response!!!

I'm glad to see someone finds them as interesting as my wife and I do. Although we don't drink, we have our favorite beverages as well on game nights. Dr. Pepper is my and has become hers!

w00t lol w00t ~ At your naughty in bed comment.

I agree if you don't keep the fun alive some how, especially when the money maybe funny at the end of the month, you can lose yourself horribly! When we allow the cares of the world to weigh us down, we become sick and depressed.

I for one will continue to be TO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED! Happy mylotting!
