Family/DH: scrabble, trivial pursuit, scene it, hearts... Every weekend DH and I do "wacky weekend" where we try to find something different/new to experience in our area. Things like bowling to batting cages, punk to classical concerts, local/foreign films, oddball restaurants...
Myself: I don't really play games in my spare time, I'm usually working on other side businesses
But if I do its words with friends, candy crush saga (I seriously hate this game but somehow I can't stop! ), solitare

The love a simple game of catch. I also like active games, such as Simon Says and Musical Chairs.
Board games we play include, Hi-ho Cherry O, Candyland, Bingo, Memory and Chutes and Ladders

DH and I play a lot of dice and card games such as 10,000 (kind of like Farkle), Uno, Yahtzee, Rummy, 5 Straight...and for some reason lately we have been really into playing Trivia Pursuit~ 90ies addition.
in your spare time
I am a crossword fanatic. I also love puzzle word games like Text Twist and Bookworm. I also LOVE Tetris and Mario Brothers
I play Peggle and Zuma when I am on my PC.

I got this game for Christmas and LOVE it (although there are aspects that Sims 2 had that make me wish 2 and 3 could be more alike) and I recently got SimCity (the newest one) and I have to say...it is WAY cool and really fun!

I was thinking about getting the new SimCity (I had a previous version before that I loved as well as Railroad Tycoon) but I wasn't sure $60 was worth it. If you like it then maybe I'll go ahead and splurge on myself I got this game for Christmas and LOVE it (although there are aspects that Sims 2 had that make me wish 2 and 3 could be more alike) and I recently got SimCity (the newest one) and I have to say...it is WAY cool and really fun!
. Ive had all versions of the Sims. The original, Sims 2 and Sims 3. I've also always waited a while and bought the expansion packs (not so much the stuff packs) once they go on sale and for the Sims 3 I have ALL of the expansion packs all the way up to the University one ... and then I found out that the Sims 4 is coming out
. I'm SOOOOO going to wait a long time before investing any money into the new version.

I've never played any other version of SimCity, but I sure do like this one...the only downfall is you HAVE to have internet to play.

I LOVE that you can get new stuff and satisfy any urge you have to spend money shopping. You can buy a paid membership (which IS worth it) but I find most my things for free...the free stuff changes every day.

DCK: UNO, Zingo, Simon says (even though my DCK are too young to get it - they just like following directions).

I used to play this on the computer but it slowed my computer way down, that and Farmville.... so I don't play those anymore. I did like the shopping end of it and building my sims houses up with funny stuff in them.I've never played any other version of SimCity, but I sure do like this one...the only downfall is you HAVE to have internet to play.

hi-jack all you want. I was trying to stimulate the conversations anyway, figured it was my turn to post up some threads. I have to remember to check out the other forums boards and not just the main one and the private. Usually that is all I have time for and I just forget about the others.

Totally true! Time (both real and simulated) seem to always be in fast forward mode whenever I play....LOL! I knew there was a reason I like you guys!

Sometimes I wish for a rainy weekend so I can have my time to be inside/play.
It CAN be so addicting sometimes!
