Classic Gaming: Non-electronic Variety

I learned how to play SKIP-BO today.

My parents got us a copy of the game, but I never really learned how to play it until today. It’s actually quite easy to pick up.

My great aunt and uncle had a copy of Mille Bornes but I never played it until I was in college. When I was younger we just looked at the funny pictures on the cards.

Speaking of games from my great aunt and uncle, I haven’t played… I don’t remember what it was called. I want to say Michigan Rummy, but Wikipedia doesn’t describe the game I remember… I remember a pot in the middle, with a bunch of smaller pots around the outside of the board with different cards and combinations of something… Anyway, whatever game it was, I haven’t played it in over 15 years, either. I’ll figure it out and update later.

I miss those games. I should play board games more often.

What non-video game did you enjoy most from when you were young? What games do you miss?

    I'm not a real big game type player. But, when we have family visiting from Canada there are a few games we do play. SKIP-BO is one of those games! I like it because you can play the game, and still visit.
