Well I might have exaggerated the post, but I am in fact mildly dyslexic so hardly surprising! Spell check covers a lot of my mistakes though!I like your post - it indices the very point you make in the text itself.....
Ah, yes, Scrabble. Always liked that; I played that one mainly with cousins.
We were playing Talisman this new year with all (12!) expansion packs. Quite easy to play as you just roll and read cards, though there can be a lot to remember. Even on the base game it can take a number of hours.

I used to lose at Scrabble playing vs an old guy whose dementia was beginning to overtake his capabilities, but he still knew all those weird three letter connector words that crossword puzzles feature sometimes. Every time we played I came home trounced. At least it changed my strategy from one of daydreaming about a seven-letter hit job at the beginning of a game. I started looking to fit two letters in somewhere on any turn, and to score 27 points for it like he kept doing!
We liked Monopoly and Scrabble as kids, but our elders of extended family were more into card games like canasta and hearts so we played those more often.
Scrabble, Clue and Monopoly are games that will give you a lot of fun and fustration.
Nobody likes to lose! Just some get more practice!Agreed; all three are classics, and should be a part of everyone's childhood. And indeed, adulthood.
Some years ago, staying with my French friends, who live in the centre of Paris, we headed for the week-end to their cottage near Chartres.
There, they - the parents with whom I had been quite friendly - played a very intense game of Scrabble while a blazing log fire burned in the hearth (it was autumn, and while the days were still lovely, the evenings were getting crisp and cold, and fires were welcome). later, in the small kitchen, while fetching drinks, the husband stole out to whisper in my ear (in English), "you know, Denise: She just hates to lose"; some time later, during the next brief break in the kitchen, the aforementioned Denise brushed by me, and grinning, remarked close to my ear, "You know, Claude: He just really, really hates to lose".
I was helpless with laughter.
