Surely there's a board game group in town, or you could found one!

[egg_shell]

That's an idea!

You have my sympathies. I love backgammon but also have no-one to play with. Same with chess, checkers and cribbage. I played endless games of cribbage with my Grandpa when I was a kid. Maybe he had the same problem. I don’t recall that Grandma particularly enjoyed board games.

What a great memory you had with your grandpa!

[siglinde99]

I think the one with my Grandma was actually better. Grandpa showed no mercy, and when I was in tears (or near it) Grandma would come into the room and say “George, I think it’s time for Diane to have a coke”. Coke was a special treat, and it was Grandpa’s cue to settle down and let me win a game.

i can't play games against myself. i cheat. :(

[egg_shell]

Ha! I played by myself (against myself in games) so much when I was little that I got good at not taking sides!

I love icicles. They aren't good for roofs, but I get some big ones here. None this season yet.

Around here (northwestern PA) we are having a super icicle building time!

Yay, beckoning cat!

Aww, even if I were home I'd still be too far away to play with you :/ My stepmom also needs someone to play games with, but has glaucoma and can't drive (and therefore also can't see well enough to play games online.) It's a bit frustrating. Some things, I feel, used to be simpler.

[egg_shell]

Yes, I think things used to be simpler and people saw each other in person more often in the past.
