...games that I play. When the big poker craze seemed to take over the country, it didn't hit me or any of my female friends. The guys, however, seem to love it. So if you have a guy who can play online without betting the rent money, then you may want to steer him to FlopturnRiver.com, a poker review and strategy site. They review different...

...games that have been sitting on my laptop for a while. I may not play these games in their entirety, but I definitely learned something about my preferences First up was the demo for Rooms: The Main Building . It is available at Big Fish Games. Although casual games tend to feel repetitive to me, I don't mind playing them in small doses....

...games with my family, but the cards barely came out. We didn't play anything until the train trip back home. The kids and adults had separate sessions of Landlord!, and the boys gave Ghoulash a try The lounge car on the train was a perfect place to play. Even when the tracks got really bumpy, the cards stayed put on the table. There was...

Tomorrow is the day! We're off on our big family trip. I still haven't quite decided what games to pack, but I work well under pressure :-). Hopefully, I'll have plenty of material for the blog when I come back since we should have several opportunities to play cards. In the meantime, the blog will be quiet unless I get a chance to post from the...

I'm not talking about games like Scrabulous , which allows you to play Scrabble with your online friends. The ones that bug me are the imitations of roll-and-move games,...

...game time! We don't allow our kids to watch TV or have lots of visitors on school nights, so I want to give them something to do that doesn't make them feel like they are trapped in the house. Once school work and chores are done, I plan to engage the kids in more card games. Our game repertoire has gotten stale, so I can't wait to test some...

...game company Eidos. It is similar to Ning , although I like the look of SocialGO better. My eldest daughter M's high school has a website that is rarely updated. I could see her starting a private page for herself and her band geek friends. It would also be great if you were running a game group and wanted to have an online spot where members...

...games. So here we are My sister K and her husband AJ are big on Scrabble , but they don't play much else. They don't even keep a deck of cards in the house! When we showed up this weekend, I was surprised to find that they bought another game -- Catchphrase . The quickest way to describe Catchphrase is that it is similar to Taboo but with...
