I play Rummy with my old shop blokes. I play Go with my girlfriend. Go is an Asian board game played with black and white stones. It's a game of territory gain. Like chess but a bit less rigid.

I have no friends where I live now (moved here 6 months ago and i'm not having any luck meeting people) but in TN we had a bi-weekly game night with 2 other couples and we played all sorts of games. The most popular were...

Hand & Foot (similar to canasta)
Rumicube
Spoons
Othello

 

[Nigal]

EUKER!
Hand and foot is fun too.

I prefer to read but the wife is a tv junkie.

 

[IanHighfield]

I'm with you, Nigal. I read for hours a day. It's cheap and better than the tube.

+1 I'm constantly reading as i don't have a tv...refuse to part with my hard earned cash for the torture that passes for entertainment on tv now.

Sounds like you'd get akick outta "Buzz" (Least, back in my drink'n days..I use to think it was fun)

How is that game played? I used to play quarters too, off the nose.

Jenga is fun too.

Really pretty simple. Get yer group in a circle and start counting off. Whenever the number '7' (multiple/divisible/addition{actually any number connection.. what-so-ever}) comes up..that person must say "Buzz". If not..the penalty is usually a chug.

You and me both. I was terrible at drinking games because by the time they started I was passed out some where I shouldn't be (backyard, abandoned RV,whatever).

Jenga is fun I'm missing one piece from it though so every one starts with a handicap.

 

[flyingdog]

by the time they started I was passed out

LOL...Or close to it. Seems like that's bout the only time these games would start and make any sense. Funny as hell seeing grown men & women trying to remember arithmetic.

 

[Smiley]

Ewww!!! Math. That would be funny. If I wasn't doing the math that is.

 

[flyingdog]

Many atimes I've seen a group who couldn't get pass the teens.

I remember - vaguely - playing a G-rated version of that in 7th grade, the 'Buzz' is triggered by a number that either contains a 7 or is a multiple of 7. If you got it wrong you were eliminated, last one standing was the winner.
