Hello @galenkp
This is a very nice gift you got. It is not just the gin tonic that made you lose the battles ๐ but you can practice so it will be better next time. If this night you will shine, let us know โบ๏ธ
We played a lot of Man, don't get angry , domino, cards, memory, hang-man, sequence...
This last one, sequence, is the most interesting thing we have played in the last few years. When we visit our families, we play it together. Six of us, (playing in groups of two) and we have to randomly pick up the players because we are more than 6 and everyone wants to play ๐
Edit: I forgot the warships
It sounds like you've got a few good games...I haven't played hangman for a long time. It's a good fun game!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to report a win later but we'll see, I've been revising my strategy and hope the new plan will help me get a win or two. ๐
Finger crossed for the new strategy ๐๐ค
And I forgot to mention as well puzzle. Practically it is not a board game but with my niece we were making one picture for one month...a 3.000 pieces Minion puzzle. Everything yellow and all those same eyes ๐๐๐
Edit: I have to correct, it was a bit more than 1.000 pieces, this was not the 3.000 one .
Photo when we finished:
That would be hard...It all looks the same! My mother in law does jigsaws but I don't have the patience.
A few years ago I got a fairly basic one for my dad; He was in the nursing home at the time, some dementia...It was probably quite optimistic. Anyway, I ended up sitting there with him over a few visits and helping him do it. He wasn't much help but it was good together time I suppose. I felt some satisfaction on completion of it, but it's unlikely I'd do another one any time soon.
