No one would play board games except checkers. That was because all we had was a checker board. I am wracking my brain as to when you all watched me do whatever It was I did wrong. You all are so computer savvy and I come tagging along behind. Anyhow it must not have been to bad.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-46614106895859193082010-03-03T09:36:26.195-05:002010-03-03T09:36:26.195-05:00Hmmm.

Takes me a long way back to remember playing Marbles, Mumbley Peg, Jacks, making and using Slingshots, Bows and arrows, Stick-ball, Making a Football out of an empty oat-meal box, and then coming to board-games. I remember when we got that Monopoly board that Daddy (being a preacher who preached against dice and gambling) would not allow us to use dice. He made us a cardboard spinner, numbered from 1-12, so it essentially worked as the dice would have, giving us the number of moves to make with each spin. Now, with the introduction of TA (Transactional Analysis) we play grown-up games in which one of the three parts of our psyche are displayed (Parent, Adult and Child). It's fun to watch those games being played. Well - at least part of the time it's fun!!! :D ☺Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-42487727250235981982010-03-02T22:02:36.552-05:002010-03-02T22:02:36.552-05:00this was fun to read, Jack.

We used to play a lot of card games too, sadly I forgot the rules for a lot of them, but always had a good time with them. <br /><br />thanks for the memories<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-71142193588088028532010-03-02T21:23:59.069-05:002010-03-02T21:23:59.069-05:00Oh you found my jacks.

Bum Bum Bum here I come ready are not "Hide and Seek". Love to skate on the sidewalk. We finally graduated to<br />croquet. Now it is Charades, Scrabble and Bocce<br />when we feel like leaving our Rocking Chairs.<br /><br />Shirlshirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-36084661267890833242010-03-02T17:54:16.290-05:002010-03-02T17:54:16.290-05:00I remember the board games you mentioned,I had/hav...I remember the board games you mentioned,I had/have some of them. I remember one I had when I was young called 'PayDay'. Played 'Aggravation'(have one now too) and 'Trouble'. We used to play 'Rook' with friends. Now we usually play 'Mexican dominoes' I think some call it Mexican train, but we use one set of regular dominoes. I'll stop now before I think of others. Take care, Sheila<br />PS. I had a 'partridge family' game too...ha.Sheila Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337709964658158686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-89564853128073748212010-03-02T16:36:05.259-05:002010-03-02T16:36:05.259-05:00Yeah to Sherry, she sure had the right idea about ...Yeah to Sherry, she sure had the right idea about marrying military...already trained. My first marriage was military, but poorly trained, and cheated at all games, especially the game of life. Now, my present DH of 30 yrs., he's a keeper. Not only trained, but doesn't mind helping me out at all. He stays.<br />Games as a child, hmmmm, I still think jumping rope and hanging from one by my knees in the hay loft, was a favorite, seeing who could cross a slippery log across the creek without getting wet was a farm girls delight if she could also get her brothers wet in the process...and riding my horses standing on their backs at the same time. It took some finesse but I got pretty good at it...it was like countrykid olympics. We were too poor for real store bought games...but I do remember playing jacks. I never did get beyond the 'sixzies'...<br />Great post Jack and thanks for memory lane...<br />BlessyaDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.com
