Day after day Mason would ask, "can we play the game today, Dad?" Day after day I would respond in the negative. Finally, I had time to play the other night...
I had set up the board in a 2-versus-1 game that was recommended in the instructions. The object was for the 2 players to achieve a certain goal in 8 turns or less or else the opposing player wins.
With my adult brain and superior strategic skills I decided to take on both of the boys in this scenario. Should be a piece of cake right? "Maybe I'll let them win", I thought.
No need for that.
On the fourth turn it became apparent to my strategically superior adult mind that I was going to lose. Fast. On the next turn perhaps.
Definitely on the next turn.
Maybe I had better stick to Pokemon.

Games like that is one reason I need a kid!
It is a LOT of fun having boys age > 7. They like video games, board games, card games, soccer, baseball... you get the drift.
I awarded you a very brave and daring man. To challange two young boys is suicide. Superior skills do not count when it comes to games, opening caps, locks, knots or whit's.
The games I grew up with such as aggravation, checkers, dominos, monopoly, life, rummy cub, concentration are phased out now.
The boys will have to teach me HeroScape when I come for a visit. But go easy on me (Like, let me win).
HA HA Meri!! What a pain!!
