Explore 2019 #201: Saying yes to play

How do you feel about card and board games? Not gonna lie, I pretty much refuse to play the mindless, boring ones or ones that my kids love but I hate (#selfcare ) so it's a delight whenever we find a game that everyone in the family legit enjoys.

Here’s a list of my family's fave games to which I just added Monopoly Deal to it! Someone gifted this card game to Vi a while back but it never made it out of the wrapper... she asked me to play yesterday and I admittedly groaned internally because I do not enjoy regular Monopoly AT ALL (see earlier comment about not playing games I hate). But I told her I would at least try it and then OMG it is actually super fun and engaging and way more satisfying (IMO) than the regular game. In the last 24 hours we've already played it a dozen times. WHAT?! So anyway, highly recommend -- great game and awesome for travel! And a good reminder to say yes to your kid's invitation even if you are a somewhat curmudgeonly person.
