When I was younger, I used to play board games all the time. Now that I'm older, I don't get to play games as often as I would like. The only games that I find myself playing, occasionally, are card games.
I will be the first to admit, I'm a sore loser...let me rephrase that...I USED to be a sore loser when it came to games. Monopoly was one of my favorite board games and there was a time, when my family and I were playing. Of course, there were two younger children who didn't quite get the grip of the game, or how to buy properties, to increase their chance of winning. My husband didn't seem to know when to STOP helping them, throughout the game.
Well, since I was losing terribly, I decided that no one was going to win. I instantly flipped the board up in the air and swiped all the money into the floor! I kid you not...I ACTUALLY DID THIS! Can you imagine the stares I received from all three players? I have never lived this one down.
On another occasion...several months ago, I decided I wanted to play Rummy (a card game.) It was me, my husband and another person, who is like a daughter to me. She had no clue how to play the game and I instantly said, "Oh, we will teach you, you will love it!" Needless to say, my husband was constantly telling her which cards to lay down, how to make a spread, etc. Once again, the competition mode set in, I was losing and getting frustrated and next thing I knew, I was tossing the cards up in the air and said, "NOW, NO ONE IS PLAYING!"
Well...let me introduce to you a game, where NO ONE CAN CHEAT! Yah, for me! This game is called Rally Roll and it's by Blue Orange Games (you can find it here). There are 6 die (dices), travel pouch and rules. The object of the game is to reach 50 points, to win, without busting. There are 5 dices that have colored numbers and one larger dice, without numbers (just colors). If any of your 5 dices matches the color of the larger dice, you can keep rolling and tallying up your points. You can either continue (in hopes that you don't bust) or you can bank them and it's the next person's turn.
There are special exceptions to the game. You can gain more points if all your colored numbers match the color of the larger dice. This is such a fast paced and fun game, that I cannot wait to play with my family and friends.
You can purchase this game HERE. It's available at Amazon for a very low price. Here is the direct link; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N29IJZE .
