Bored Games


In my continuing effort to keep Sam (and myself) entertained, I took it upon myself to brave the wilds of the back porch where I eventually managed to pull out some long-buried board games. Even more astounding, I managed to find my way back off the porch and into the kitchen, games intact.

Sam and I ended up playing “Sorry.” I’m not sure I've ever played this before. Fortunately, Sam had - he was therefore able to walk me through the finer subtleties of the game.

Unlike when we played a board game the other night, tonight we both decided to play to win - sort of. Or at the very least, we both apparently decided to be slightly less blatant in our mutual attempts to throw the game to the other person.

In other words, Sam let me win.

After the game, I shared this video below with Sam. (If nothing else, it killed another fifteen minutes...)



There are a few minor differences between their game play versus ours. For one thing, as Sam pointed out, they're using dice where we were drawing cards. For another thing, as Sam also pointed out, they have a little bell to ring and we don't.

Fortunately, as I pointed out, our game play was a little more civil.
