Thursday can be List Day

Favorite Games  (Courtesy of Listography)

1. Settlers of Catan – Yeah, i know it’s super dorky, but I tell ya what- I kick BUTT playing Settlers. I can settle the hell out of Catan.

2. Cribbage – I’m such an old lady. I knit, I have cats, and I play cribbage. Actually, being old sounds like a lot of fun.

3. Skip-Bo – When I worked at my last job in a group home, we would spend the evenings after the clients went to bed playing Skip-Bo. And still, I love just about any simple, addictive card game.

4. Farkle – Playing Farkle with dice is pretty awesome. Similar in addictiveness to Skip-Bo.

5. BANG! – If you haven’t played Bang, you *need* to. Each player is assigned a role- either the Sheriff, Deputies, Outlaws, or the Renegade. It’s like an old-west shootout. Plus, the Sheriff gets to wear a badge.

6. Bohnanza – Bohnanza is a game about bean farming. Every time we suggest it, people say “Bean farming? Why the heck would I play a game about bean farming?” And then we play, and then they go and buy the game because it’s SUPER FUN.

7. Scrabble – I used to be the Scrabble Master in my social circle until I married an English major. Yeah, those days are over.

8. Dr. Mario, Mario Party, Mario Kart, or Super Mario Brothers – I LOVE Mario games. Matt and I had to stop playing Dr. Mario together because we get so competitive. Otherwise, we’ve spent many a night with friends playing the New Super Mario Bros. for Wii- does anyone else feel like that game can be *totally* unfair?? Your “teammates” can throw you into holes and enemies and stuff! Not cool!

9. Spoons – Ask my family, I WILL OWN YOU AT SPOONS. That’s why I started playing Roller Derby. No lie. I will DESTROY YOU TO GET A SPOON.
