Half and half filler — a couple of old games. I’m in need of someone who likes to play games — though probably not the right time to be issuing invitations — social distancing etc.
A shame we don't live closer. I've always loved to play games and have a pretty good selection myself. If we had the same game, we could play virtually.
An interesting juxtaposition of two very polar opposite types of people and so therefore, perhaps their games too! @randystreat Had a great idea of playing virtually!
@randystreat Kathy, apologies for the long delay in my reply. A virtual game might work. What games do you have? I've been rummaging through my drawers and coming up with a couple of things we might have a chance of both owning and being able to play at a distance @grammyn We could figure out a way to include you in. I'm pretty sure I have what amounts to a double set of Water Works cards and could send one set to you if Kathy had that. It's a game I really enjoy. I love Clue, but that would be tough to work out how to play it with more than one set of cards in play. Chutes and Ladders is pretty straightforward. Mastermind could conceivably work. If by any chance you have Pig Mania, game on! I even have a spare set of pigs to send to Katy. (I better fix the hole in the plastic bag I have them in or they might run off! Better yet, just put them in another bag with no holes. Duh!) I've got a lot of weird sets of old cards, card games, Do you have Boom-o? That could work. I also have board games with pieces missing and card sets that are incomplete, but fall into the cultural nostalgia category (based on a TV show, movie, etc) -- and I can't make myself let them go. I just came across something I have no memory of acquiring, but probably found it at a thrift store and couldn't pass it up -- Road Kill Bingo! But we'd have to do a bunch of driving around for that.
@mcsiegle@randystreat LOL! I have not even heard of some of those games (except chutes and ladders) and am struggling with how to go about a virtual game too but I am sure it could be worked out
@randystreat You’re on! Pigmania it is. I don’t know what you envision but I can see a match by Zoom or Skype or ??? (Timed to within whatever the time restrictions are for free group call. I’m not an expert on arranging such things.) Or you may have a better idea. We simply MUST get Katy in on this. @grammyn what say you? The more pigs in play, the merrier. (If you’ve not heard of it, basically it’s throwing little rubber pigs like dice) Say the word and I’ll give you my email address so you can tell me where to send the spare pigs.
I can do Zoom but have never facilitated a "meeting". I have skype but never have used it. I wasn't sure. @grammyn Let us know what you think and what games you might enjoy. I don't have chutes and ladders I'm afraid.
@randystreat@mcsiegle It took me a minute to find this again so.... .the delay in answering. If someone is willing to faciltate we could do this but know that I am severely challenged when it comes to technology
@grammyn@randystreat Hey, ya never know til you try. Well, first things first. Katy, here’s my email address: [deleted now that you have it] Tell me where to mail the pigs. Once we’ve all got pigs, we can figure out how to best connect. If we all have Apple devices we could use FaceTime. I haven’t used it much but it seems simple. Otherwise, Skype or Zoom or...? I’m willing to try to host (even though when I did with Francoise, she ended up calling me, when I ran into difficulties) HA! Techno whiz I am not. But not hopelessly challenged.
@mcsiegle@grammyn I've got pigs. Does Katy have pigs? I have a desktop and lap top that are apple products. Never used facetime and I don't know if these computers will run it. I have been invovled with Zoom and FB messenger. My email address is kcalloway@compascable.net
