Nasty Canasty

PROMPT March 15th

What’s your favorite board game or card game to play with friends?

Canasta! But I will bury you so deep you'll never get out of the hole! Red 3s, Black 3s, Deuces and Jokers wild. It's a rummy game like conquian and gin. Rummy is simple to play but each game and opponent is different and since there's a bit of luck involved the better player doesn't always win... but I will, I will, rock you.

I really liked playing with good friends because... I'd win... and then we'd play again.

I used to have Wednesday night parties. Spoons were good for getting people going. As was the trading game Pit (can be very loud and rowdy). The key to parties? Always have food... lots of it. I never served alcohol so that had to be made clear. There were always some extra-friendly people invited to welcome newcomers.

Board games? Loved Clue. Hated Monopoly. Sorry! is simply Parcheesi . Many board games have limits to how many can play though.
