Four ways from Yesterday!
Connect four! A milton Bradley game introduced in 1974. If you are reading this and you dont know how to play or have never heard of the game, google it. Im far too lazy right now to explain. The point is yesterday Nessa picked up some bored games for us to play and this was one of them. So Im thinking this should be real fun. I havent played this game in about 2 decades. The long and the short of this post is that out of 9 games I won ZERO! How sad is that? I couldnt win to save my life. I used to be a wiz at this game. I took my beating like a man but couldnt for the life of me remember any of my strategies from yester year. All the while Nessa was telling me I should change from red to black, or I should go first. Of course I refused. But I now know what she knows. Find out how to strategize like a connect four master here!

Wow, you are taking connect 4 to a new level, when you have to find a 91 page doc to strategize...HA! I didn't have to read anything. *sticking tongue out*
But don't worry, I am sure I will have my off days too!
I LOVED that game! Altho sometimes I could only win by sticking my finger in a hole and not letting something drop. Another game I loved as a kid of the 80s is Rubik's Challenge. Maybe that's not the name. But you have a 2-sided board with a divider in between set up like Battleship (ooh, Battleship!), with lots of differently colored squares on each person's side on the board, and you roll a dice-type thingie to get a color pattern that you both have to copy on your board by sliding the colored squares around without removing them, and whomever gets it first slams the divider (which looks like a frame) down on their side to frame the color combination that matches the dice.
Okay, I didn't explain that very well.
I'm cold
So... whe are we going to play again??? I have monopoly too! :)
