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.

Would you like to play a game of chess on Chess.com? I don't mind if you are 'not good', it'll be fun to play with someone from SW :) If you're better, I improve by playing with you. If I'm better then you improve from playing with me.

Also, I totally agree that games should have nothing to do with age. Everyone ought to enjoy them! Risk is a major favorite of mine and I am fond of checkers. I tried my mind at Chinese chess, still learning the tactics.

@ShieldUp Sure! I've never done that before, but I'm glad to try it and would be grateful to have someone to practice with! I really am not very good, aha.
I have played the Middle Earth version of Risk with a friend, was fun I like the concept. Checkers is a great classic.

@SW-User Yeah! Do so :)

@galacticexplorer So you have to go onto chess.com and register an account, which is pretty simple. Then tell me your username and I'll create a match! It's fine, that's how you learn and improve. It takes some patience. Oh! I wish I could have played that, I enjoy variations of Risk maps, especially fantasy themed ones.
And I agree.
