She also played Chinese Checkers with me. I found a vintage board in its original box years ago at a tag sale back East. Morgan and I get out my tin of marbles and have a blast with it, as well. Jacks! My sisters and I LOVED playing Jacks, too! |

From: MGM·Lion A college friend of my wife's in the 1960s did actually marry a man who was All-Britain tiddlywinks champion and led Cambridge University to victory against Oxford three years running*. It is a very skilful game, in fact. I think the ill-placed scorn it attracts is to do with its silly name (wonder who invented that); and far too redolent of the ill-thinking and ill-thought attitude of many who should know better about the Morris. *from Wiki ~ "The modern competitive adult game (now called tiddlywinks) made a strong comeback at the University of Cambridge in 1955." I found the article quite interesting... |
