Kings in the Corner
Published September 10, 2003
Games are fun. I like to play games. And let me say again, I like to PLAY games.
Some people take games very seriously. I know a great number of people (why are they always men? I know no women into these...Speak up if you know of any) who play these crazy complicated games. Games that make RISK look like "Go Fish." Avalon Hill games, I call them. Avalon Hill no longer exists, it was bought out by someone or other.
But the games go on. Complicated moves that can take a WEEK. Forget it. I want to play a game.
On a search for a pack of UNO cards, I ran a across Kings in the Corner. Bought it too.
It was fun! I liked playing it. Chris and I played a couple games while we were watching TV. The perfect kind of laid-back game playing. I suppose we could have paid more attention to the strategy if we'd wanted to. But we didn't have to.
It would work well for kids too. Check it out.

Card games can be a lot of fun. Chess is a good thinking game. That Deep Junior vs. Kasparov match earlier this year was exciting.
Crazy 8's and Spades all time best card games, but depending on the players Spades can become hazardous to your health, even online.
Taboo is a wonderful game to play with 3 or more people.
I love Chess (not checkers) but you must have a worthy opponent or its just checkers with rules.
Ah! Axis & Allies! That brings back fond memories of my bachelor days and late nights and bottles of Southern Comfo... Oh, never mind. What a great game!
Play Backgammon for free or play for money

I must confess...I liked playing Acquire. I found that on Amazon, and I remembered it was pretty fun. Maybe I prefer the idea of being a corporate mogul than the idea of being a military dictator.
