Games and their players.  We have all done it to a degree in our lifetime, emotionally, physically and mentally…Am I talking about mind games, you ask?  No way Jose’… I am not a fan of that wicked useless waste of time and emotion, what I am talking about the pastime that has seem to have gone by the wayside… Board games.

Also known as family game night, Friday night games, moral builders … you get the point. I grew up playing these almost on a daily basis with classmates and neighborhood friends are fond memories that I recall.  Inviting game families like Milton Bradley and the Parker Brothers into your home was truly a treat.  Puzzled about what I am getting at?  Then go out and create your own masterpiece with another family style board game entertainment of puzzles. Kooky you say… Naaaa. Visual and mental stimulation that you can piece together some real fun with family and friends.

I am amazed that there are so many people these days that have no idea what game night is. Many have gave given way to the electronic gaming that is entertaining. Oh yes, some of you youngin’s might even be thinking… oh yeah… old school gaming… well, I suppose in this day and age that this what I am talking about. I am not referring to the style of gaming where you need the strongest thumbs this side of the Mississippi or a joystick of sorts… but a logistical, strategizing board game where braincells and common laughter are the *joystick* emotion of choice.

No head games. No ill will.  Just a ton-o-fun that will keep you reelin’ the feelin’ and chuckling up a storm as you cruise through “go” and eliminate any board-um.
