Top 10 Games We Love To Play

This week's top ten is in honor of Checkers Day. Checkers originated a long, long time ago. It was called Draughts in Europe and there has also been evidence that the Egyptians played some form of this game as early as 200 B.C. It has also been an influence in developing other games such as chess. Games have been a big part of our lives. We are glad that we both enjoy playing them together. Some spouses are not so lucky. We love checkers but we have gotten to know quite a few games over our lifetime that we love even more. We have put together a top ten of some of our favorites. See if you agree.

1. Skip-Bo - This is a game we have been playing since we were married. We used to have tournaments and keep a tally of who won the most.
2. Yahtzee - We love Yahtzee! Rolling dice is so much fun. It has given us inspiration for other games and activities that we have invented.
3. Hand and Foot - There are so many games you can play with face cards but this has to be our favorite. Sundy likes it because it involves making "BOOKS."
4. Compatibility - We have many memories of this game showing just how people really think. Often times we are more compatible with other people.
5. Train/Dominoes - This is a family favorite. An easy one for the kids to play.
6. Cranium - We have had so many fun times playing this game with Matt and Lori. We still remember Matt's impression of a volcano. We thought he was acting out Madonna.
7. Outburst - This is fun to see what you know about a subject. We loved it so much that we have developed our own brand of this game.
8. Scattergories - The timer makes you jump every time it goes off. Who knew trying to think of things that start with the same letter would be so much fun and so nerve-racking.
9. Scrutineyes - This is a great one that tests your eye speed and observation and then compares it to those around you. We love this game a ton!
10. Monopoly - This is a classic. We have many forms of this game. We remember teaming up against Ben one time before we were married. We laughed our heads off.
