Playing games

Created by Jason 11 years ago
These have to be the most well travelled board games in the world, some have gone between Australia and the UK multiple times. Packed up with us and played in hotel rooms across the world, you always brought some along. For its simplicity, I loved Lost Cities. I am sure we made up our own rules for Mystery Rummy: Jack The Ripper, but they worked for us. Puerto Rico and San Juan were also firm favourites. I never understood Carcassonne, though it looked impressive spread out on our study floor. I loved the concept of Hive and that you enjoyed the fact playing it stressed me out. I wish there was more time to play board games with you, Jamie. I know you would sometimes let me win to encourage me to play more often. The physical games are not important, it’s the memories they have generated that will stay with me. So it’s time to let them go and hope that other people can now enjoy them. You must have chosen well as these games have held their resale value. A total of £342.39 has been raised on eBay, which has been added to your Sunflower Fund.
