Scrabble

[Innkeeper]

Hi
All joking apart thinking of some games to play this winter on the odd cold wet day. Would Spanish Scrabble have different letters than English one or more or less of some of different letters. If you get my meaning. I of course know we use the same Alphabet.
Also what games do you play in the camper.
Let's keep it clean LOL?

 

[Langtoftlad]

Bananagrams

 

[ceejayt]

Rummikub and Canasta

 

[gus-lopez]

I of course know we use the same Alphabet.

Apart from the fact that you will have plenty of ñ 's. Which is a standalone letter on its own.

i taught my wife suduko - pity its a one player game but we do them together, so it sort of counts. rummikub, four in a row and battleships are also in the games cupboard !

Baby oil Twister.

 

[Jaws]

We have scrabble, pigs, Yahtzee, cards and dominoes
Most we play is 5's and 3's dominoes and cribbage

 

[The Dobbsters]

Mexican trains is a good one- bit like dominos but with penalties if you don't follow the rules- usually just picking up an extra tile or two but you could incorporate your own penalties ?...........hmmmm off to research that......

 

[Kirsten]

Scrabble; boggle; rummikub; code words [spy game];cards ;chinese chequers- and we save out New Scientist crosswords to do ...we dont have a TV in the van xx

 

[TinaLes]

Used to be Monopoly, but I was accused of being too cruel!, as the game int over until OH had no money left!...well it isnt is it?
Then its doms or cards, or on-line quizzes.
Usually though in the real world, its trying to get the TV tuned in or, resetting The Garmin to try and stop it taking us the wrong route, or a more direct one.
LBC Radio if we want something topical to swear at in the evenings
But I guess its all Fun at the end of the day, we love our van,in all weathers.

Monopoly... shudder ... aah yes, I remember it well - jolly evenings with the children - “Daniel always wins” “why have I got to go to jail” “I haven’t got £200” “he took my money” “she moved my hotel” “I’m bored” “He cheated” and then the baby dislodging the whole board by mistake followed by a chorus of indignance And attempts to regain more money and property than before .??

 

[Kirsten]

no sane person plays Monopoly with family... and if you do the banker always cheats

 

[ryan_flea]

I make no claims regarding sanity, I did think it would teach tolerance and turn-taking (I was sadly mistaken)
it was a good idea at the time

 

[cliffanger]

My mum has dementia, but is a demon scrabble player. I volunteer at weekly scrabble games at her nursing home - she’s on my table - and amazes me every week. She remembers nothing, but the words she comes up with are incredible.

Play games if you want - but for me - to be REALLY happy (and to learn a new skill, thereby staving off the dreaded dementia) - Play this ....

On a Portuguese cliff top is good, but it can also seriously cheer up a wet day anywhere in the U.K!
