What kind of games do you play?

Mind games? I play that stupid Fishdom game on the computer and have done for years. Totally and utterly mindless. Also Cubis. Ditto. Played Sequence with friends for the first time last week, that was fun.

I’ve played June’s Journey on my iPad for years. Totally mindless fun.
I was playing Cards against Humanity last night with friends. Much wine and a wicked sense of humour required. Not for the faint hearted.

I play a hand eye coordination game on this machine called Panda. Love it. Totally free and constant challenge. Think I'm up to 950 now.

I have absolutely no interest in playing games and I have no idea why.

I have absolutely no interest in playing games and I have no idea why.

Same here, M0nica, but I can’t say I have ever wondered why. I just find games a boring waste of time. Looking out of the window has more point.

My preference is always to stick my nose in a book or magazine, whether the real thing, or on a screen or Kindle.

I like logic games so Addoku is one of my favourites. I also do a cryptic crossword every day. I play board games with my grandchildren and I play backgammon against my computer. I can, if pushed, play chess but I never seem to have enough time to think what I am intending to do and am really not very good. I am better at Chinese chequers.

I should like to be able to play cribbage, a game my mother taught me and I used to play with my extended family. The two grandsons who I see most often are probably a wee bit too young, but I might show them how in the not too distant future. Mr absent is not interested.

We are great games players. Dominos, scrabble, card games and monopoly. Draughts with the grandchildren and jigsaw puzzles. Far more fun than mindless TV. Reading when on my own is great but an evening of games and laughter can’t be beaten in our house.

Word games such as scrabble on line/ words with friends.
Card games with the oh, which I love. Crib, Euchre, and another we call Sherpa.

Does a jig saw puzzle count as a game?

I too play scrabble online free two or three times a day. It gives me pleasure to outwit the computer.

I also play Mahjong and Solitaire.

When I’m not on the computer I play Rummikub with my friends pre-Covid.

Bridge (badly) online and not. Any card games really with friends, and have in the past had fun evenings with
Rummikubs, , Taboo, trivial pursuit, and Balderdash which has caused hysterical giggles. I like to play card or board games with the grandchildren too. They are 4 and 6 so any recommendations ?

Our favourite at the moment with the family is Uno. Great fun. I don’t bother with online games any more.

Word games, scrabble, crosswords etc. I am hopeless at anything involving numbers.

DH and I play couple card games food general knowledge pub quiz etc. We also play Kalooki card game and are quite competitive it's just a break from tv.

We recently introduced our 9 yr old GD to Lexicon - it’s a word game played with a special pack of cards. I’d kept my set from when I was a teenager. Our GD loves it and always asks to play it. We also like Labyrinth and for some silly fun, Beetle.
On my phone just play various versions of Solitaire and Words with Friends. I could never get into computer games.

I don`t play games,i haven`t for around 10 years i prefer reading.

My recommendations off the top of my head are Sussed, Randomise (brilliant!) and Pass the Bomb.
All a bit hit with my SEN ks3 kids. Suitable for all ages.
All from Amazon

Thanks Fanny.

When people say they prefer reading I like that too but not as a group activity !

I want to play games of chance or something

I would never play games of chance, I don’t gamble and the only winner is the game owner.

I play Scrabble and similar word games to keep my brain exercised

Lucca I cuddle up with a book, while those around me play games, mainly board games. For us a classic Christmas scenario.

A lot of on telephone and online games seem to be very solitary.
