Sometimes you've just got to play!

Several weeks ago while having dinner with a friend, Merri Bame, she told me what fun she and her partner Kim had recently while at Toys 'R Us - of all places! Merri had just read a book titled Little Money Bible (or something like that) and this exercise came from there -

They walked up and down all the aisles and talked about the different toys and games they had when they were children. And they talked about different games and toys they'd love to play with now. I don't think I get it, but Merri said they had a great time. Maybe it was about getting in touch with your inner child.

Her story made me think about playing games. We have a bunch of friends that we play euchre with on a regular basis (in case you don't know, that's a card game almost unknown outside of the Midwest). And when we're with our own grown kids, we often play a dominoes game called Chicken Foot.

We have tons of other games at home that I've bought here and there that we've never (or hardly ever) played. I wonder why.

What games do you like to play with your adult friends or family members? (Ones you can mention in this public forum.)
