Keeping Score or Serving?

Your Love Story is not a Game

John and I love board games. As newlyweds, we played a lot of backgammon. Most games were followed by a long walk around the apartment complex and always logged as either a win or a loss. Through the years, we picked up new games and carved out our favorites with both Sequence and Mexican Train Dominoes making this list. Recently, we picked up Siamese Mahjong, and are learning to really love it. When it comes to board games, we’re competitive. We keep score often running scores for months or sometimes just a vacation length. We passed the passion and competition along to our children, and family game night is a thing in the Crosby house. It’s good fun.
