Great game. I taught my kids to play and we'll ocassionally fight a war of wits. Great stragedy (or is that with a "T" ?)exercise (that brain needs a workout every now & then). Hey I wanna start a poll but I can't think of a lotta other popular (or, not) games (other than Euchre, where I've taken a trick or two ;) , poker , etc.). And don't say Sodoku because I don't even know how to play it. I need your suggestions to make a credible poll outta this.

That emoticon is supposed to be a wink.

I'm not sure what kind of poll you have in mind. Maybe a list of games asking who plays which ones?

You open up "New Topic" and you'll find a place for starting a poll. You can have up to 15 entries.

If you need more entries (more than 15 games, the settings can be changed, I think).

A lot of people play Hearts, Scrabble, bridge, and some people still play canasta, I found out recently.

Are you talking about Internet games or games you can download to your PC? Or maybe regular board games with real people?

If you're talking about Internet games, that's a whole different scene. There are the games that are played with PlayStation or whatever--Everquest, etc.

You'll probably want to make it clear what kind of games you mean.

No, I wouldn't know the 1st thing about these 21st century games (makes me wonder, how old IS chess anyway ? (naz would know) It gets MY vote (although I like most of what you recommended. Should we add darts & dice ? Maybe you oughta build it agate.
I'm afraid to build at naz' place, I think my reputation would discourage participation.

Well, I play Sudoku, so there! That's the only game I play on the internet. It's pretty fun. If I can find an online strategy guide, I'll post it, but not untill I'm back at my other computer.[/b]

agate, I don't think I can add options to my poll after the fact. I forgot Matt'e preference of Sodoku. Can you (as the wise and all powerful administrator) add it ?

And Matt maybe you oughta start a thread here to get a game going (you'll have to teach it to me first)

You can't play it with someone else, but I will try to hook you up.
