What I'm Reading This Week #24

Sup y'all!  Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!)  I hope you had a good week and stayed cool.   I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought.  I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund.  So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled.  It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem.  Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy.  I don't know what the deal is with that.  I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay.  Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home   (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...

Hump Day Poll: Game On


You saw in yesterday's post that the Mr and I played Uno and Racko to bond on a mild winter's night. We usually play Boggle (affiliate link) as well which is one of my faves but it's on the table to be played this week.  I can't help myself, I'm an old school board gamer and want to commit to playing them more this year instead of watching the tube.

What are your favorite board games to play with two people and a group?

Also... Happy Birthday, E!

  1. When I was a kid my family would play Risk but I was too young to understand it so they said I could play the dolphin. The dolphin was just a dolphin in the ocean off one of the continents that they were basically warring over in that game, so I later understood how I was basically fooled into thinking I was playing a game when I was most definitely not. Then when I got older they never played Risk again. Instead we played Life and Monopoly. To this day I have never played a game of Risk. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing honestly.

  3. The only two I remember playing were Connect Four (with the old school slide bar), Battleship, and Checkers. No board games. I only played a few as an adult, so I was always more of an observer watching how the games were played.

  4. I really like board games but most of them you really need more than 2 people for. I like Rumikub (someone else mentioned that one) but I don't know how well it works for 2. I loved Gin Rummy as a kid, Farkle is fun, and Cribbage is an all time favorite of mine but no one else I know ever wants to play.

  5. Azul Board Game Is very good with small # of people.
    (We play Racko also. I have always liked it.)
    My husband loves chess.
    We play a lot of card games.

    I have a good size game collection now for 12+ players (holidays). So we are either playing with 2-3 or 12+ which are both hard to find.

  6. My boyfriend and I play a lot of cribbage and backgammon together. With his 10 year old son we'll also play Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, or Chinese Checkers. If we have more people around we'll play Uno, Imagine If, Trivial Pursuit (original version and teams). We have a cabinet full of board games.
