Weekend Soiree #44: A game of comment interaction
The game is easy! I will ask a question. The first person who comments will answer my question, and will leave a question for the next person to answer. This next person will answer that question, and leave a question for the next next person to answer. I am sure you get it! 
To make things more fun, the questions have to reflect the chosen theme. For example, if the theme is SLEEP, all questions should relate to that topic. Do you have insomnia? What do you usually wear to bed? As much as possible, let’s not repeat the questions for added fun! You are also welcome to play more than once.
Let’s see who throws the dice first at our forty-fourth weekend soiree.
The theme: GAMES
The question: Which game do you do better in: Monopoly or Pictionary?

The last time I played a board game was two years ago when my best friend found, while de-cluttering her stuff, our old high school favorite: Trivial Pursuit.

I was the “Piko (Hopscotch) Queen” when I was a kid. It’s amazing how we had all these rules to the game that were really complicated, and now I’ve forgotten them entirely!
Did you have one of those Game & Watch handheld thingies? (I ask because I never did, haha!) Which one?

What did you prefer as a child – outdoor games or board games?
November 8th, 2008 at 8:48 am
No, I didn’t have my own Game & Watch, but I borrowed them like crazy from my classmates who were ticked off when I beat all their high scores! Helmet and Manhole were my expertise. And also Chef, Octopus, Egg, Parachute and Popeye. Ah. Such fond memories of my geeky childhood.
Q: Were you ever into Tetris (a.k.a. brick game)? And if so, were you any good at it?
November 8th, 2008 at 11:04 am
A to J’s Q: I preferred board games. Was never much of an outdoors person (plus i was a bit on the chubby side–still am! hehehe) so the physical activity was a bit of a problem
A to Pistachio’s Q: I loooooved tetris/brickgame and I remember turning off the sound so that I could concentrate more on it. Hehe. Level of expertise was above average I guess

A: I have no idea, as I don’t know what the difference is (stupid me …) !
Q: Do you remember the Atari? Did you ever get hooked on that, and if so (if you are old enough to remember?), what is your fondest memory of Pacman?
November 8th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

I played Scrabble but no, I didn’t memorize the Q portion. With word (board) games I (and the family) enjoy Boggle more.Ü
Whenever playing Monopoly or Millionaire’s Game, did you always want to be the banker?Ü
Caryls last blog post..We are living in a material world..
November 9th, 2008 at 4:08 am
Got me there – I did want to be the banker! And life did imitate “art”,er, my penchant for “banking” as I indeed was in the banking industry for a good decade or so before retiring early to be the “domestic diva” I am today.
As for my games-related question: What do you prefer to play, Guesstures or Pictionary?
