Day Eight in Florida. Church this morning. Lunch out. Then, a quiet afternoon at home, followed by dinner out with friends, Audrey and Rod. Back home for dessert and after the goodbyes . . . Game Time! We played a few hands of Mah Jong, and then we lost our third, so Mama and I switched to Phase 10.
For a number of years in this household, Phase 10 has been a favourite game. From the makers of the more familiar Uno, this is a very fun little game, where a game consists of ten “phases” where the goal changes each time. And, if one person makes the goal (say, a set of three, and a run of three) and others don’t, then on the next “phase,” the players have different goals! You don’t switch to the next goal level, until you achieve the last one. Wild cards and skip cards add to the fun. And Mama and I have discovered that it’s even fun with only two people. So, we played ’til we were punchy tonight!
