Board Games
Posted by Eva on December 26, 2018, 3:06 pm
Hi, I’m wondering whether to bring down some board games such as Mexican Train (a fun game with dominos) and Scrabble. I have a list of 2, 3, and 4 letter words that makes playing scrabble more fun. I play bridge, but also enjoy some fun board games. . Is there anyone interested, and if so, do you have any of these games in LM? I’ll be in LM Jan. 8th to March 6th. Thanks.

I bought a Mexican train game and have it here, but have only played it with friends who know the rules. I would love to learn when you arrive, Eva! It is so much fun! Mine doesn't have the sound effects, but it does have the station!

Hi Norma, Mine has no sound effects either. I didn't know that exists. I have the basic game with the rules, station, trains and 91 dominoes. I agree that it is a lot of fun. I'm not clear why you want to learn from me if you already play it with friends. Do you also like scrabble? I rarely play it, but I have the 2. 3.and 4 letter words for all to use, so that makes it fun. Here in Toronto very few of my friends enjoy cards or board games. I do play duplicate bridge with partners I met years ago. Do you play bridge too? Eva | -----------------Re: Board Games

My friends know the rules and I went along with it. I bought a set with the 91 dominos, but no rules came with it and I didn't pay attention. My friends had a train whistle with their set. Sorry I don't play bridge, but there are lots of folks here who do. Mostly I hang out with my 4 dogs and go to bed early. But I could find a couple of others to play Mexican train if you know how to play! | -----------------Re: Board Games

Hi Norma, Yes, I know how to play Mexican Train and am happy to teach you and play with you and others who are interested. I already signed up with Charlie and have a partner for bridge. I just mentioned it in case you also enjoyed bridge. I was in LM last year for 2 weeks with a friend. My husband stayed back in Toronto to look after our elderly cat that has since passed on. This time my husband is joining me and we are coming for 2 months. We both love dogs. I know Alan would be very happy to hang out and walk the dogs some of the time, if that works for you. We certainly are interested in meeting you and the dogs. Warmly, Eva

I love board games and have several here, not Mexican train (which I have at home) - too heavy! I have Sequence, CodeNames (the latest craze I'm told) both of which are addictive, WereWolf (a parlour game) and Wizard (card game). I leave on January 11, but would love to get together before then if possible, especially for CodeNames (for which we need 4 minimum, no maximum). There's lots of bridge here - Tuesday and Thursday upstairs at La Playa 1:00 - 3:00. I go regularly. Carol Ann carolann@friedom.ca | -----------------Re: Board Games

Hi Carol Ann, Since you are leaving Jan. 11th and I'm arriving the evening of Jan. 8th with my husband, I wonder if we can plan to meet on Thursday afternoon. My husband doesn't enjoy board games, so to play Code Names, we'll need 2 other people. Looking forward to meeting you before you leave and the others. Eva | -----------------Re: Board Games

I'd love to join you and play some board games. I've played Mexican Train and I'm pretty sure I've played Code Names, amongst others. alisond@telus.net | -----------------Re: Board Games

Wow! We have quite a games group. I will send out a group e-mail to all of you whose e-mails I now have. Then if you are looking for people to play board games with, you can e-mail the group members. I hope that sounds good to you. If you don't want to be on the e-mail list, please let me know and I will remove your name. I'm coming on Tuesday Jan. 8th and will be in LM until March 6th. I plan to bring down Mexican Train, Scrabble with cheat sheets (2,3,and 4 letter words). I will also bring a travel cribbage board and cards. The only board game my husband enjoys is Mexican Train, so he is in for that. I will also be playing duplicate bridge 2 afternoons a week. Charley has organized a partner for me. Does anyone else play bridge in LM? I'm looking forward to meeting you. Eva | -----------------Re: Board Games

We are meeting upstairs at La Playa this Thursday at 2 p.m. and bringing our games. Thanks Jo Anna for arranging this. I’ve sent out an e-mail to all those who expressed an interest in board games. If I missed you or you have just decided to join this group, please e-mail me at Eva.ticktin@gmail.com . This way I can add your name to the group e-mail list since in the future I plan to communicate by e-mail only. Thanks everybody! See you Thursday. Eva | -----------------Re: Board Games
