In this age of constantly moving technology, board games tend to be a thing of the past. Fortunately, the game makers like Parker Brothers, Mattel, MB, and newcomers like ThinkFun, etc. and are not giving up without a fight. They are constantly reinventing these games to keep up with the times and somehow retain market share and children's play time.
Our favorite board games include chess, othello, Pictionary, Boggle, Master Mind and cribbage. Monopoly is a fun but loooong game. We settle for Monopoly Jr. for quicker, simpler game play. We have Scrabble but haven't really gotten down to any serious Scrabble games. We have recently added Upwords to the games the children like to play. It is a fun game to play. Plus, I like the travel version we have because it has a built in scoreboard.
MyGirl is quite good at this game. She was the one who put the first word -- RUE. It was something she had just learned from the TV show, iCarly. Of course when I found tiles with A and C's on them, I couldn't resist placing ACC in front to form the word ACCRUE. (That's what I get for spending so many hours in a bank.)
Check out the final score in this game between us. She got a score of 273 but I was a good 20 points ahead of her. Of course I'm more than 5 times her age, I've been reading since I was a kid, she's in 2nd grade while I've got a college degree, and I have been working longer than she's been breathing. All things considered, I think she should be declared the winner for this round.
