So what the Sam Hill do you want to talk about?
Hmm. Let me think what quality thing I might have on my mind. My mother and I played a game of Phase 10.
Do you and your family play cards and board games? What kind of games do you play? Do you have a favorite?
Phase 10 is the card game we play almost every day. It's kind of a rummy game where you make different combinations of runs and sets. I also love to play Trivial Pursuit and Apples to Apples or Cards Against Humanity. How about you?

I play Scrabble with the computer. Some of the games my mother can't play anymore because she's having trouble with her eyes coordinating. Maybe her appt. with the optometrist will pay off and she'l be able to play again.

I'll ignore the content and respond to the title if that's ok
I started 2 discussions way closer together than I normally would and it has taken me quite some time to catch up with responses and move on to other peoples discussions....I like starting the odd discussion but I don't think I could keep up with even one per day
Back on topic...I don't like card games and if people play them I go home

My dad never played games with us. But my son in law and my son both like to play. I've never played Pitch, it doesn't sound familiar.

I don't like him. Don't want to talk to him on the phone or invite him over. I think he just rubs me the wrong way. Games. I like cards but haven't played very often in the last few years. I think it was apples to apples I played at a friends place. We visit perhaps once or twice in a year. I will play the sims on my computer but not very often now.

We used to play cards, more when I was younger then we do now.
You know what's worse then not starting a discussion, having a discussion to start and not being able to access the picture in your files to go with that discussion.
That's where I am now-grrr some days I just really dislike technology!

My parents are not huge fans of board games but I used to play them with my cousins and we had lots of fun! Monopoly was a big favorite of course but we also played Scrabble, The Game of Life and Renaissance.

@@CinnamonGrl I don't really have a favorite game. I am taking up my time with crafts, writing, reading, and such. I need to relax more don't I?

We play board games like ludo, monopoly, or tambola or housie, whatever you call it. They are pretty interesting to play with family to unwind.

LOL! Right now I am staying with my mom and uncle and I can never get them to play games. So while I am staying here I just play games online.
When I get back to having a home of my own and company then I will play a lot of games.

The number #1 game my family plays when we're together is UNO. Usually, we have the girls team up against the guys. I also love playing Scattergories, Clue, and poker.
