It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Oh my goodness! I think we picked that up at a yard sale. The pieces were little trucks and you loaded little pucks into them, right?

Yes. We had it at some point. Or a friend did.

Mmm, now I am going to have to get board games for when the boy comes down! I think Clue would be fun, and Sorry. And Uno.

My post-college roommate and I taught ourselevs cribbage and I have a board, but have since forgotten. But, I have couple of guides to card games so I think I will re-learn. My real love is card games and I hope we can find a few that mac enjoys.

Parcheesi is always fun--I love blocking other players out.

Cribbage was the game for us to play with Dad, especially after the parents divorced and I'd go hang out at his apartment on Sunday (gin rummy was the game if my sister joined us at Dad's). I remember the utter glee I had the one time I came within one point of double-skunking him.

OH MY GOD GAME OF THE STATES!!! Yeah, we totally loved that game.

One summer I got really obsessed with cribbage. I have completely forgotten how to play it, and I think I may only have played it on the computer, but it was awesome.

...Buh? I've never heard of this before; we always played that when you made a suggestion, it went around the board until someone disproved it. If the rules were changed, it happened a long time ago, because our copy was from the 70s if not earlier.

A lot of our games were old, but I don't know if that one was. But we never played with house rules like "Free Parking", so I don't think we would have played that way if it hadn't been in the rules.

Ha ha ha.

I looked it up on BGG, and the board and everything didn't look familiar.

Until I hit the board that DID look familiar. We played the Indian version.

Were there snakes?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

We clearly need to play some cribbage at a game night or F2F.

Next West Coast F2F will TOTALLY have a game corner in the hospitality suite.

I don't think anyone exported snakes. I can't remember the exports anymore, but we sure did play that game a lot. I remember the trucks with the little discs!
