Friday, July 08, 2016 The tea of the Day is orange pekoe, iced I love board games. I play dominoes, battleship, and scrabble on my kindle against the computer. I used to play: clue, pickle, and others with my grandchildren but they are into 4H, softball, and boy scouts now. I went on a search to see what was up with board games in today's online society. I was not prepared to be amazed. Board games have definitely become a real live fun time. I found 4 right off the top that I would like to try. "The Game" looks like it would be fun and it is inexpensive compared to some prices. Some of the games I saw were 50 dollars and up to 85 dollars. Marco Polo sounded like a lark. The Gallerest or 504 would be interesting to try. Google showed me a website where new board games are being crowd funded. Yokohama can be funded and received through Amazon. This is a game, showing players the world of oriental merchandising. If the game is real it could be an interesting game but, beware of a scam. I also found a japanese game called Victory Osero on Amazon for 219.85. My children used to have a similar game that they lost all the pieces out of at one point. It was a fun game for any age. But, I don't remember it being this expensive. Unfortunately, we are in the middle of a thunder and lightning storm so I'm shutting my internet down. Happy Gaming. |
