Re: What are your favorite games?
I love solitaire, all kinds - especially FREECELL + CRIBBAGE. Gin, Gin rummy, gin knock, 500 rummy, blackjack, poker. All kinds of Card games. My all-time favorite card game is "WHIST" with or without a kitty - makes no difference to me. I could play that game for a month straight without eating, drinking, sleeping or anything else, LOL.
I also love Board games - play a lot of chess, checkers, dominoes and mahjong. I very much enjoy Yahtze, Boggle, Text Twist, Hangman + Bejewled (all match 3 games). Love the Word games dearly.
I haven't done any of the arcade/video type games ever. The Nintendo, Super Mario, Ninja action games. After Pinball games died and Pacman came out that was the end of my arcade/action type games career.
Every time I find some downtime, I go online and play lots of cribbage, any kind of gin game, hearts, memory match, lots of freecell, poker, blackjack and any kind of rummy for card game sites. Then there's the board games: lots of mahjong and chess, checkers, dominoes, and I badly wish to learn Backgammon. And then there is the Yahtze, Boggle match 3 games, Scrabble, and WORD GAMES.
Hope that helps.

Re: What are your favorite games?
I played Canasta on pogo for so long almost everyone knew me... I must have burnt it out completely though because I never feel a yen to go there now. I love card and solitaire games, I also like puzzle (mind not jigsaw) and action games (Duke Nukem anyone?) I am really into word games too. Ok There are pretty much 5 games I don't like and the rest I am up for.

Re: What are your favorite games?
Don't know how to play Canasta or another seemingly popular card game called Euchre. (Never heard of it here in New England.) Printed out the rules for the latter once and couldn't make heads or tails out of it.
I gave up trying to learn Backgammon on my own (went to some sites, read the rules, snagged some innocent victims and it was a disaster) and couldn't find anybody to teach me. Major bummer because it looks like so much fun. Maybe some kind soul here will do that someday if I am lucky. Crossing my fingers, arms, legs, toes and eyes. What a visual, heh.
Thanks so much for reminding me about Puzzles. I knew I forgot something. Gawd, do I love puzzles! Especially JIGSAW ones. I found a site some years back and it was plum awful. I had to go to Rehab.
Every day in the newspaper I do the Cryptoquotes (LOVE THOSE), the Jumble and take a crack at the Crossword Puzzle. Never can finish those but I do try.
So, please add Puzzles including Jigsaw Puzzles to my reply to Chris's question: What are some of your favorite games?

Re: What are your favorite games?
My current favorite is
Box of Candy. It is a match/elimination game with a relentless time limit.
the patterns are challenging.

I tried "Box of Chocolates" and liked it. Thanks for pointing that one out.

Re: What are your favorite games?
Chris... my absolutely favorite games are on a website entitled www.pogo.com. On that website is everything from pool to card games. There are plenty 'free games' on their website but for $40 a year, you can become a club member. It is very addicting!
