Boggle and Chihuahua word games
Sounds fun! I played Boggle, but I haven't played Chihuahua before. How do you play? 
it's free to play daily sets of on-line word games chi.lexigame.com/
Will have to check this out later after dinner tonight! Thank you!
Only hubby and me, so we just read, watch tv or chat. xxx
Those are great activities to do, too!
I live alone so Solitaire is more appropriate for me. 😊
Do you play on the computer/phone or use a deck of playing cards?
On my laptop. I play Microsoft Solitaire game called Free Cell at expert level. I also play Brain Games designed for people with memory issues.
I sometimes play Free Cell on my computer when I have some time.
I play Free Cell all the time as I’m nearing played 10,000 games and I’ve lost only 6. I may stop or slow down once I’ve reached that milestone.
Me too.
Me too. Cannot really join in on this. Have not seen my family.
Yes travel restrictions are keeping families apart and it’s the same for me.
Ps 4 and other consoles
Which games?
Resident evil series , metel gear solid series , silent hill series ... loads lol
Awesome search the YouTuber CJU games he does lots of horror gameplays
call of duty zombies
Is that based on a book series/TV show?
I dont think so, my son played this game on his PS3 and when he got a new PS, I started playing it, I am not very interested in these games but it is very easy to play.
Good to know! I use to have a Game Boy, but gave it to my brother for his children.
sequence
How many can play the game? I haven't played it in a long time.
we play with the two of us but when the grandchildren are here we play in teams of 2 .. I dont know maxim number
That's okay! Playing as a team is great to do, too! Very helpful!
Rummycub
Love it! My mom taught me how to play and all these years now I can win against her.
That's good! We have a big version that can be used for when you go to the beach.
Just hubby and me so we tend to watch TV and talk/discuss
What do you watch on TV?
DIY, walking, nature, medical and drama programmes
When I'm alone I enjoy word searches, reading and meditating.
I have a few large print word search books for when I was going on trips and long car rides when I don't have/had a book to finish.
Live on my own so normally play golf and pool ace on my computer
Is the golf set up like regular off computer golfing?
Its called Golf Ace, one of the better golf games, play it mainly on my kindle fire
Thank you for letting me know. My Uncle may like that game for his phone. He loves golfing!
I made a point to have family game night decades ago. Hubby told me it was stupid and we never did it again. 😢
Awe! I'm sorry to hear that. Game night sounds lots of fun and it's not stupid as an idea. See what you can do and let us know what happens. What game do you want to do?
I’m losing my eyesight so I’m not doing much these days except tv. I’m doing okay.
Thank you for your caring kind reply.
My best to you and all on this site.
Much love and prayers.
EJ 😊🤗♥️🥰🙏🕊🌿🌸🦋
You're welcome. Thank you for the reply, too. What shows do you watch on TV?
Mah Jong! Great craic for the family!👍👍👍👍
My Aunt and Grandma had played that with some of their friends before COVID started.
Yes with my two sisters and nephew used to play most weekends, before covid! 🥴🥴
Did you ever go to tournaments with them for Mahjong? Before COVID, my Aunt and Grandma would do this, as well. They would go in/out of town for games.
It started back in the 70's my brother bought a set of Mah jong, we always played on that one set, everyone grew up, then when I moved to my present house, two of my sisters and nephew started playing again and me for the foursome, another of my nephews moved to Edinburgh, I sent him a set, [spread the word?] Apart from us "Mah jong, what's that?" usual reaction around here!🙄
I know a few people who play Mah Jong, but they mostly play like if it's cards. Not sure how they do that when it's tiles.
You can play it with cards or rows of tiles, I prefer it with the tiles, four sides, north, south, west and east, for each player, beyond that it starts to get complicated?🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
It’s possible. I never played too much with the ones that played like cards.😀👍🌈
It can be very addictive, back in the 70s-80s we would play until 2 or 3 in the morning at the weekend! Squirill logs, cheese and onion crisps, bits of chocolate stuck to the bamboo and plastic tiles, yuck! My big sister could not understand what all the fuss was about, she now lives in Devon with her poor husband, poor fella!😗😗🤗🤗🥴😆
Does he watch the game?
He used to like playing, but Devon is a long way! You always get one in a large family, it had to be my big sister, she is more into listening to the "Archers!"🤪🥴
Mahjong
How long have you played? Is it once or more times a week?
Not been able to play for last 2 years. I play the common 4 players mahjong. There are only 3 of us now so not possible to have mahjong. We settle for chess but I’m lousy at it. 😁
Do you do the Chess more than once a week?
I commit to at least twice per week, will play more if I’ve free time. I need to play with a beginner 😅. My opponent is too good!
Is there a few people who can do that?
Yes there are. Wait till pandemic over, will gather them.
You can play 3 hand mahjong which we used to do before covid, when one of us could not make it, trouble was it was always much better scores, although when one of us got a chow, almost blacklisted? [good for the maths scoring!]🤗🙄🤗🤗👍
Thanks for your suggestion Adlon57. 👍
Wordwheel
Is WordWheel like Wheel of Fortune on TV?
No it's a wheel made up of 9 mixed up letters. There is one nine lettered word and you have to see how many more words you can make out of it. Got to be 4 letters or more and no plurals allowed you will find them generally in the daily paper. I also like the crossword
That sounds good!
We have just taught ourselves the card game Canasta. Not easy with just two but lots of fun. I also play WordWithFriends2 on an app.
My Aunt plays Words with Friends on her phone, too.
I love “Would I lie to you?” It has me in fits of laughter!
How do you play? I never heard of the game before. Is it a board game or on the phone?
It’s a board game, so you need to have around a minimum of four players. Ideal after Lockdown. I bought it from John Lewis to play at Christmas a couple of years ago. It really is hilarious!I also play Words 2 on my phone - like scrabble. I do forget time when I’m on it though so have to limit myself!
Addicted to soduko puzzles too.
Do you have a book to do the puzzles or do you get them online for newspapers? My mom does both.
We have a weekly get together with friends on Zoom. Play a lot of Jack Box games, of course I'm spacing on the names of the games we like on there.
It's okay! When you remember what the games are, you can always let us know anytime.
No games.
That's okay. We play games only when my Niece and Nephew are here at my house.
No family, but when did have one, scrabble, snap, chess, , I preferred the solitary stuff like reading and jigsaws to pass the time.
We play Yatzee. We can play it with others on zoom. It's a lot of fun. We also play Mexican train and 10,000. We also used to play Rummy but my husband got tired of losing to me.
How do you play 10,000?
Boggle, Yahtzee, and trivia games
Do you also play a card game called High Low Card Game?
We play Cluedo every Sunday evening over Zoom with our children who live in Oslo and London. We have a daily challenge of a game of dominoes.
That's fantastic! Do you play after dinner or during the day?
Chase the laser dot... my family consists of me and two cats 🐈 🐈😂
Awe! My dad sometimes does that with my cat, Bunny now and then, too.
Both my boys like to chase that little red dot, they’ve just got a new laser pointer, a new scratch pad with extra catnip and had roast chicken for dinner as my older cat is celebrating his birthday today.
Boggle.
How many words do you end up creating?
No family left at home now but before we loved Trivial Pursuit and card games. Happy days
What cards games did you play?
Play 2 card games Euchre & Hand & Foot
How many can play and what are the rules? I never played it before.
I love all sorts of games but I don't have anyone to play them with.
Do you enjoy card games?
Yes, I do.
Which ones?😀👍🌈
I honestly don't remember the names! Such a long time since I played. I shall blame my memory problems!
It’s okay. There’s a few games I played years ago that I haven’t played and need to relearn how to play them, again.
🙂🌸
We usually bring the game for the kids to play and if they don't want to play, we use the game board as a blanket!
Westerns Veterinarian Documentaries feel good shows/movies. Human interest. Gone With the Wind Little Women
Titanic The Help old classic movies and my favorite cartoons.
Thank you for asking hun.
Much love and prayers
EJ 🤗♥️🥰🙏🕊🌿🌸🦋
You're welcome! Thank you for letting me know. What cartoons do you enjoy?
How many puzzles a day/night?
Thank you for saying that about the poll, Hidden ! I like playing games and doing puzzles when there's free time.
I’m across the pond. Popeye Bunny Bugs & Friends. Tom & Jerry The Flintstones The Jetsons Walt Disney’s collection and all the old ones from the 30s 40 s 50s.
There are so many more but they aren’t available here now.
EJ 🤗🥰
Cluedo and sometimes Boggle as they both work well over Zoom!!!
The most I've had is an 8 letter word.
I like to play tag with my brother or my brother chases me he sometimes puts a blanket on him makes him look like a ghost 😂😊
We also play card games Canasta, Cribbage, Pinochle & other board games too Life is one Tripole is another!
How do you play Tripole?
It's a card game with a plastic mat it is also a gambling game. Has poker chips & several can play. I need to have it in front of me to remember all the different sets of three & kinds that are played.
Asit is only my hubby & me now we talk watch movies & I read a lot or i'm sewing something.
What do you sew?
