i'll start with this-
i love playing games.
board games.
card games.
trivia games.
sport games.
word games.
memory games.
theatre games.
drinking games.
you name it. they're all my favorite, in no particular order.
to this day, here is the short list of games i have beaten Mr. REA in:
Rummikub - "The Fast Moving Tile Game" it's an old family favorite. typically a newbie can't really win without having played for a while. there are a lot of rules to it. it was only natural for me to win. i've been playing my entire life.
ski-ball - only maybe my most favorite game of all time. or at least that's what i'm thinking once every 6 years when i find myself playing it at a bar or something. note to self: play this game more often.
Scattergories - out of the millions of times we've played this, i have won once. one single time. and he became so depressed that we had to play again so he could beat me. ugh. he's so dang cute when he's pouting.
and to this day, here are the games Mr. REA has beaten me in:
Miniature golf - i'll rule this loss by pleading unfair athletic advantage. my math skills are also so poor that he probably carried the Ones too many times and tricked me.
Ski ball - after i beat him 3 times in a row, we were out of dollar bills. he scrounged the bar to get more change, then played until he had the All-Time high score and won a free round. very mature, Mr. REA. very mature.
Scattergories - every. single. time. except the time i just mentioned, when he pouted.
Trivia - the only ones i got right were the answers i memorized from the last time i played. is that considered cheating? is it still considered cheating if it doesn't help you win?
Speed - the card game, not the drug. in my defense, the cards were brand new and very slick.
Air Hockey- we even played a round of Lefty, and he still beat me by the same margin as Righty. note: we are both right-handed.
Ping Pong - i've run out of excuses.
it doesn't matter who wins, it's just fun to play.
...right?
