Over the weekend, I found my games containers in storage.
I grabbed my playing cards collection and Dominos. In the mail right now, is a boardgame set with chess, checkers, and backgammon. Also, in that order is a coffee table-sized tic-tac-toe.
I wonder if destroying the kids in games is the right approach to feeding their hunger for strategic games.
There’s a balance, I’m sure. Maybe I won’t play them heavy until they have a good grasp of the game(s).
Also, I can get them to play as much as possible against their cousins and other kids their ages.
Yeah, that’s the way you do it with kiss, right? I think that’s how it worked for us.
Is That How it Went?
Although, I don’t remember my mom going easy on me in backgammon, but that’s me trying to remember 30 years ago.
I remember playing backgammon as one of my favorite memories with her.
Maybe that’s a better goal: make memories of the games instead of making my kids hate getting beat.
El oh El.
