Looking for a new game that is good for all ages?
Go no further than Mexican Train–a dominoes type game that is so fun. Indeed, quilter Bonnie Hunter revealed a bit ago in her long-time daily blog that she and her husband and friends spent an evening playing “a cutthroat game of Mexican train.”
My two families here love games: board games and card games of all sorts. And it doesn’t have to be a rainy day for any of this crew to enjoy some time playing a game.
My younger son’s family recently introduced me to Mexican Train, and it is my new favorite board game–mostly because it can be played by younger children who know their numbers and have the attention span to play and by adults who who would play at a more complex level.
My son Bryan Enright is slowly developing a web site called “Shore Things” that is all about the Low Country. (He does work full time so adds to this site when he has time.) He has included a section on “Rainy Day Games” that lists lots of games they like, with links to where to buy them–so you can see what each game costs.
On this “Shore Things” site there are lots of pictures of our beaches, for instance. And, some of this area’s rich history. And, some advice on practical issues that arise here, like handling the humidity.
Know that this effort is a work in progress, but just google “Shore Things.” Or use this link:
