well, one in particular actually! we did really enjoy playing puerto rico, and it is definitely on our christmas pressie game list! SB really enjoyed playing it. we parents did too, and would recommend it. now hopefully the babs is taking it to helmsley. oh, did i say we were at the babs this weekend? we had a fabulous time with great company, great food and great games. we were also lucky enough to catch the SoTP family as well. lots of chatting playing and take away pizza. the take of pizza was required because we had all had such fun playing ticket to ride that somehow dinner was a lower priority for us, though not for the children.
SO, on the games recommendation list are :
and whilst we were there SB read this book How Did I Begin?
. She has never asked me any questions, and we have similar books of our own, Let’s Talk About Where Babies Come from
so i am guessing she knows what she wants to know then.
Ticket to Ride is on C’s Christmas list. Glad you had a good weekend.
Ah, having clicked through I think that’s the game Bob played with her at the OffThePathers this summer.
yes, i am fairly sure that it is, as SB said she had played it too, and wants both the above for XMAS! might even oblige
Was lovely having you. I must get some of your photos too as I realised that I did take any! There must be some cute ones of Alys and Rachael.
Shalll I bring ticket to ride (europe) to helmsley? We love it.
Have thought about Puerto Rico, been eyeing that one up a while.
And E and R had a realisation the other night reading books about babies. R said the book has a bit missing. I asked her what she meant. She said, well, it says you need an egg and a sperm, and the woman makes one and the man the other, but it doesn’t tell you how the sperms gets to the egg!
So I explained, and E’s face was a picture of horror…”you….do…….what?!?!”
giggle! the book barbara has is explicit in a low key way
I like Mummy Laid an Egg, though it’s rather implausible, with it’s use of spacehoppers, skateboards and balloons…
yes please em, btw!
Is Puerto Rico the ‘big’ version of San Juan?
Yes Sarah. I bought it by accident over the summer because I was trying to buy that card game that you and Joe were playing. I thought it was kind of expensive for a card game! But actually it’s really rather good too. Still want to play San Juan though as I never got to actually play that at Melrose. Too much Settling.
And Em, another ‘yes please’ from me too.
ooo I played San Juan at Melrose and thought it was brilliant
Actually, I think I played half a game of San Juan.
Poor Nic, how will she cope with all the gaming
Easy.
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down….
argh oooo you wicked woman!
…make you cry…..tell alie….
