Card games = cheating in my family. Not by me, by my brother, and my uncles, and now my husband, and his brothers - always on me! Hmmm... my favorites (even though I always lost due to the cheating) were Uno (a must in our family gatherings), Sorry (we just loved saying SORRY!!), and Scrabble when we were a bit older. And war? We played that game for THREE DAYS STRAIGHT as our youth group drove from Ohio to Mexico. You aren't kidding when you say it can last a loooong time! Oh what memories.

At first it was annoying, then it just got funny. We laughed so hard.

I haven’t taught my kids yet. Maybe it’s time for me to win…

My son and I played War last night. We have our own variation that we play called To the Death. It's fun to connect with your kids through play. Coincidence! My son and I played War last night.

My dad taught me cribbage as a child (from 9) and I still love to play a game with him now. We will be visiting my mum and dad for Easter and will get my dad to teach my son to keep the tradition going. This is a great game for mental arithmetic. My boys love “war” as well.

But, my favorite game..more as a teen, was rummy. My friends and I would set the winner score really high and play all night. We played War on the way to and from school on the bus.
