I Like to Play Games

I do. Very much so.

I don't mean video games, either.
Nothing against them, more than one close person in my life is a gamer, + I have even enjoyed playing from time to time with friends, but they've never been much of an interest for me.

Games in general however, are a beloved hobby of mine. Games of all sorts, I collect them also as I will have a Games room in my Forever Home.

Board games are great.
So are playing cards. I always have a pack with me, and play various solitaire games often.

I like ancient board games,there is always strategy involved. Hnefatafl, Wei Qi, Senet are three I am involved in learning + playing currently.

I would like to get better at Chess.
I've always been good at Backgammon + Scrabble.

I have a dart board in my bedroom (eventually it will be in the games room I mentioned)

I keep a notebook with rules for certain solitaire games, or paper games- I have several of those.

Overall I think games are a wonderful aspect of life + don't relate them to childhood whatsoever. While children should play games, so should everyone else in my opinion. Age has nothing to do with it.

I am always grateful to discover a new game, so please feel free to share one with me, or your personal favorites.

Not much into games at all anymore but love sitting down with a good book , be it a good fictional or non fictional one anything to do with ancient civilizations and history and geography and things to do with nature , if I was to play cards enjoy a good game of canasta or like playing scrabble.

@warnbrobeachlover1 I am an avid reader :) I read more non-fiction than I do fiction, but the classics and literature are adored. I also listen to audiobooks, those are always non-fiction. I like History very much aswell.

@galacticexplorer Hi yeah audio books are something I haven't come to terms with greatly , I prefer to sit back and read a good hard copy having the feel of the book and turning pages, not into these modern book stores at all, but like the old ones where you can go in and smell the pages so to speak was lucky to find one last week , the one I used to go to has been turned into one of them coffee places

@warnbrobeachlover1 I'm fortunate enough to find benefit in both methods. I also prefer the proper physical way more, I own hundreds of books, many are antiques. But when I am working out, or taking a long walk, doing housework, painting etc..,I am able to utilize my time even better and multi-task by listening to an audiobook while I do any of those things or others. So I agree that the best way is to hold the book and such, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize that audiobooks have their benefits. Plus many are read by the authors, and reading TO someone is an ancient practice anyhow aha.
I also adore old books shops, visit many of them in Toronto
