Game Night

Friday evening is the treat of the week. It's game night at Elger's house! With some lovely wine and great company we play the night away... and running for the last bus home. So here are the local games we play on game night :



Monopoly Deal: This is a great adapted version of good old Monopoly. Everyone loves Monopoly but rarely plays it anymore because it never seems to end! So now there is a shortened card version available. And it rocks! Be careful, this is highly addictive.



Mahjong: A very well known traditional eastern game as old as time itself. We've only just started playing this game as I am still a beginner and learning the basics. But a game that has been around for hundreds of years and still keeps its popularity has raised my interest. After my first few games I have discovered its not as complicated as it looks. The effort goes into getting familiar with the chinese characters and set values. There after its just up to skill and a little luck. Or if you are chinese you would say Feng Shui!
