Yahtzee was my downfall. I liked it but I never could figure it out. Thanks for stopping by and sorry for getting back so late.

It's been so long I don't even know if I remember how to play now, but I'm sure it would come back. Great game! <br /><br />@Claire, I have played spades a few times and thought it was fun, I can't really remember how to play now though as it's been a long time. I love just about any card game.<br /><br />@kelworthfiles, that game sounds like fun, too!

I mean seriously! - laughing, teasing, playing, snacking, even being ornery on purpose! <br />One of our fav card games is Wackee Six - it's a fast-paced game where everyone's trying to find a place to lay their cards down at the same time! :DBrenda Sillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702163304597782659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-5372826268556892382011-06-06T18:38:04.840-07:002011-06-06T18:38:04.840-07:00I remember playing Euchre with just about anybody,...I remember playing Euchre with just about anybody, and playing Oh hell with my family. Both great games.<br /><br />There's a similar game to Oh hell, and I can't remember the name, but you actually make discards and based on those discards, 'bid' on how many tricks you're going to make - a diamond for zero, a spade for one, a heart for two, a club for three, or something like that. It's a really challenging and fun game!<br /><br />Thanks for blog-festing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-75285094719155529632011-06-06T18:10:55.903-07:002011-06-06T18:10:55.903-07:00Euchre is great, I learned to play a few years bac...Euchre is great, I learned to play a few years back and really enjoyed it. It does challenge the player with remembering trump for each hand and keeping track of those jacks. <br /><br />Oh, Hell sound a bit like spades.

Great idea for a blogfest. <br /><br />@Rawknrobin, thanks! I couldn't believe I found that Yahtzee pic, I love it. <br /><br />@L.G. I've never been able to understand Bridge either. I think it requires too much concentration for me! ;)<br /><br />@Tim, great story!! Thanks for coming by here, it's nice to meet you.<br /><br />@Mary, yay for Tonja!! That's funny about euchre and the railroad, kind of fun to think of a bunch of guys sitting around playing in railroad cars. <br /><br />@Lee, Yahtzee is a great game, no doubt. <br /><br />@Jules, I think Canasta and Oh, hell are very similar, I seem to remember hearing that. <br /><br />@Laura, thanks, it's great to meet you as well. <br /><br />@Dorothy, agree about Yahtzee! <br /><br />@GigglesandGuns, LOL. I probably wouldn't have wanted to play you then, I'm still not very good at the game even though I love it. :D<br /><br />@li, reading about the games has been a great blast from the past for me, there have been so many I've read that I hadn't thought about in decades. <br /><br />@Stephen, it seems like Euchre is a really popular game in Ohio and Michigan both. Great to know kids still like Yahtzee!<br /><br />@Jemi, it seems like everyone loves Yahtzee, such a fun game. :)Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-63541473525646155472011-06-06T17:02:25.602-07:002011-06-06T17:02:25.602-07:00thanks for the game game! i see you like the class...thanks for the game game! i see you like the classics =)<br />and i gave you an award, come get it (i forget if i already told you)Tara Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587802105993889515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-88223824928301612122011-06-06T15:52:54.962-07:002011-06-06T15:52:54.962-07:00We never played card games as a kid.
