So, you know and I know that this is a food blog, right?
Which means I post recipes for you all and then I cross my fingers and hope that you love the food and that your family and friends call you super cook of the universe.
That is my goal, plain and simple.
But today is Saturday and you might have some family and friends near by that want to hang out together and have a bit of fun. So that’s what I have for you. A recipe for fun!
My family and I have been playing Speed Scrabble a lot since the holidays, and it is really a ton of fun (and a little bit addicting 🙂 It’s kind of like playing Words With Friends, except you play with real friends who are living and breathing and sitting next to you. You don’t have to know a lot of big fancy words, simple three letter words work well. Which is lucky for me, my simple mind and my hideous spelling skills. The game is great for a small number of players or for a large group. Kids can participate and so can great grandmothers. All you need are a couple of boxes of Scrabble, a handful of players and a table. Pretty simple, right?
Because I love ya, and I love to pass on a fun thing or two to you wonderful readers…I picked up a couple of Scrabble Board Games for one of you!
To enter the giveaway leave me a comment telling me one of your favorite games. You know…like Monopoly, or Canasta Spin the Bottle or Leap Frog. You have until Thursday at midnight to enter. The winner will be announced on Friday morning bright and early with the sunshine.
Now….let me show you how to play!
The edible kind. 🙂
We love to play Life. And our new favorites are Jungle Speed and Blokus.
I love playing Jenga and Boggle. Such fun games that really make you think!
Words with Friends on my iPhone, hands down! 🙂
I love all your recipes – your my kind of cook! We're a game-loving family, but right now my favorite is Qwirkle!
Right now my favorite game is “Game of Things”. So fun!! And I love your blog. I sent you an e-mail once and I loved that you actually responded to my request.
I can't wait to try some of the games your readers suggest – they sound like fun! My daughter and I are hooked on “Trouble” – we have been playing every day. There's nothing like a popomatic dice roller! 🙂
Hand and foot or canasta as some people call it. Great for when all my siblings and their spouses get together.
Well, with 128 comments, I'm sure I won't win, but here goes. I LOVE to play Scrabble. I have the Deluxe Edition, with the spinning tray. It's killer. AND I love Blokus. Also a favorite.
PICK ME TO WIN!
When the kids were younger and still at home, we used to play a lot of “The Game of Life”. Now it seems like we play more card games like Phase 10 and Michigan Rummy with our adult friends. Wanda
Settlers of Catan. But, a close second is Ticket to Ride.
