Meryl's Notes Blog

Despite growing up playing TV video games, computer games, and handheld electronic games, I still love the old fashioned board game. The newest addition to the Snave family cabinet is Carcassonne. Haven’t played it yet, but I look forward to it. Thanks to my Secret Santa (Hanukkah Harry?). This was a wonderful and generous gift. Thank you, Secret Santa in PA! I will think of you whenever my family gets together and plays the game.

I think family games night is one of the best ways to spend time together as a family. I have memories of staying up past midnight working on puzzles during winter break from school. One year, a friend of mine came over to help and we stayed up till 3am working on a Coca-Cola puzzle only to find a one piece was missing. That’s OK, the fact I still recall it with a smile is worth it.

What are your favorite board games? I like Scrabble. I enjoyed playing Careers. Though it’s not a board game, I liked Electronic Detective, but I got scared of it because I didn’t like the gunshots at the beginning of the game. I was young and thought something bad was going to happen.
