What a great idea for a newsletter. Early on in the pandemic we played Pictionary a lot in the evenings. The most fun was when a player guessed correctly based on a drawing that most people would have found to be unrecognizable. We had lots of good laughs.

Thanks so much! If you like Pictionary, look into a game called A Fake Artist goes to New York. It isn't good for two but works for groups. In it everyone is adding to the same picture, one line at a time. Everyone knows what the picture is supposed to be except for one player, who doesn't know. And the one player has to fake it and fool the others :)

Agreed. A super idea for a newsletter! My parents and I would play cards or board games in the evening...but this was about 100 years ago, so think Monopoly, which I still love.

My boyfriend recently got the huge Lego titanic set! It’s been great for both me and him (we’ve been spending a lot of time together since the start of the pandemic). I used to be of the opinion that board games were a giant waste of time (wrong), but now I don’t consider my day complete until we play some kind of card/board game after dinner. It’s been great, and not a waste of time at all. If anything I feel sharper mentally! And less impatient throughout the day, especially because of Settlers of Catan!

I’ll definitely look into the recommended games mentioned above. Thanks Justin!!

Thank you! I have been enjoying big Lego sets but I think the Titanic is a little too big, for me :)

I have "Class Struggle" the board game that pits capitalism (Marx) against capitalism (Nixon). It is still in its original box and I never did get around to playing with it. It is a reminder of my younger, simplier days. Just looking at it brings back memories.
