Scrabble

If there’s one thing I love, it’s good smutty picture.  If there’s a second thing I love, it’s games.  It’s a well know fact that I love video games (heck, I made them my career), but it’s actually far bigger then that.  I love games of all kinds, except organized sports… guh.  Ever since I was a kid I’ve had a love of card and board games.  Favorite ones from my youth are Clue, Pac-Man and Fireball Island.  Especially Fireball Island.  The one that I had as  child was ether sold or destroyed in a basement flood (so if anyone has one that they want to get rid of… *wink*).  I also remember wanting to play a game called Scotland Yard.  I only ever tried it once at a friends house.  I seem to remember liking it, but I can’t remember.  I wonder if you can buy it now a days.

As of the fast few year, the board game of choice is Scrabble.  I play with Wife, and my Bother-in-Law and his wife.  It’s tons of fun and we can get quite vulgar plying it too, which is okay because we only play after the kids go to bed.  And after a few years of playing, I think we’re all quite awesome at it too.  I’m sure I could beat all your asses.  That’s right… I said it.  Actually, the trick is to try and make your words across the double and triple letter/word squares.

I’ve even got the kids hooked on to board games too.  We play Uno Moo, Cars Monopoly, Pengoloo and the Pac-Man game I had when I was a kid.  Yup, I still have that original game.

Do you love board games?  What ones are your favorites?
