      It's actually two vintage games- Parcheesi and Hearts.

    Did you ever try to explain these rules to a 3 year old? Yeah, with them you make it up as you go.

      Candyland was my kids' favorite at that age, and I still had to cheat so they could win.

    This game looks like it's been around a while, but I'm not familiar with it. Is it similar to Scrabble?

      I don't know...Ziva does make it sound awfully enticing to break her rules.

    I've always wanted to learn how to play Hearts! How did you know? Great interpretation of this silly prompt.

      Parcheesi is fun for all ages. It's like Trouble or Sorry.

    Good one! Love your spin on the prompt. Whatever happened to board games? Do people still play them or are they all digitized?

      Thank you! I love the simplicity of these and the old parts, like wooden dice.

    I think it was Robert Frost who said that writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down. Unfortunately, that's the only thing Frost wrote that I can quote. The rest of it was soooooo boring.

    Nice take on today's theme.
