Board Games

This past weekend, for some reason Chip and I became board game-aholics. I think we were just looking for something different and fun to do that didn't require going out since it's been so cold again. What may have started the madness was that last weekend, we went downtown to Circle Center and I saw a card game that my mom and I used to play all the time, Rack-o. It's pretty addicting. All you have to do is line your cards up in order in a rack, but it's definitely not as easy as it sounds - especially since your opponents can sometimes change your cards around or even swap one of your cards with theirs. We got addicted to it pretty quick.

So this weekend we busted the Rack-o back out, but that made us think of some of our other favorites. Chip really wanted Uno and Yahtzee so we went out to get them since our board game selection is severely lacking. It was so fun. We spent a lot of time this weekend with Yahtzee, Uno, Rack-o, Irish-opoly (the Notre Dame version of Monopoly) and a new card version of Monopoly.

It made both of us think about growing up and spending time with family. Hope you're all doing well out there and anytime you want to have some friendly board game competition - Chip and I are ready! And I hope the weather gets warmer soon!

P.S. I should also note that I beat Chip at every game that we played this weekend except one :) He was a good sport! Haha!
