I kinda want to get chutes and ladders for mac. the pictures would be a good visual for him of actions....consequences. I am so very glad that we have the old versions of many board games, like clue and milles bornes (which yes, we called mills borns) and mastermind. We will be starting a game night once a week in Texas with the grandparents. I am VERY excited.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
We had this marvellous game in England which was British Rail, and you had to work out how to get from place A to place B most efficiently, and we were all up on the entire rail system plus tourist destinations.
Oh my gosh, I would LOVE that game!!
I think it's still available. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's part of a whole series of rail games. The original was Empire Builder; Eurorails is in the series too.

Backgammon was a game my sister and I got into in high school. Euchre was the hot card game in our high school before I started, but I learned to play so I could partner with my older siblings and cousins. By the time I started high school, though, it was a dying fad, and after freshman year, I didn't play again until a few decades later.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Were you thinking of Great Game of Britain?
Hmm. Now I'm wondering if I can get a good backgammon game for my phone.

We played euchre all the time in high school, but it's a very regional game.

We had a month of school left after the calculus AP exam, so our teacher used it to teach us how to play bridge.
