And I've recently leveled up to trying to play Zelda on a vintage Nintendo Cube that H2 picked up at a resale shop. It's maddening. That's about it for me - just enough to understand the addiction without being swept into the Fortnite frenzy, which has taken over every man (and some women) I know between the age of 10 to 40.

I know if I start playing games, I'll never see the light of day again. My eight-year-old granddaughter has shown me a few on my phone that I like,including Temple Run 2, but luckily I'm not very good at them, so that helps me stay away from them. The granddaughter flies through Temple Run 2, despite her mom restricting her time on any electronic devices. On the other hand, she loves to read. I do worry about kids being so addicted to games, well, any online activity. <br /><br />Oh, and Julia, I remember The Oregon Trail from some time ago when it was used in the schools.

And although my grandmother played solitaire obsessively, I never learned, and have never played anything on phone or computer except for Bejeweled and Words with Friends.

I'm not very good at Words with Friends, but I enjoy it. (Carstairs38 if anyone wants to beat me.)<br /><br />Another one I love is Flood It. The idea is to start in the upper left corner and get all the squares to be the same color in 22 moves. It can be rather addicting.<br /><br />Love Tetris! I don't play much any more, but it's been calling me recently.

It gives you seven brief definitions, and at the bottom are tiles with multiple letters on them. You have to pick tiles that join to spell a word fitting each definition. Each round takes no more than 5 minutes, making it a perfect diversion or waiting-in-line option.<br /><br />I've often thought it says something about me that I opt ONLY for card games and word games. Not sure what, but something!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292993485984273172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-8097863655939325812018-04-25T11:25:09.788-04:002018-04-25T11:25:09.788-04:00Scrabble, Words With Friends, bejeweled blitz, Wiz...Scrabble, Words With Friends, bejeweled blitz, Wizard of Oz, I used to play computer bridge on Pogo, with real people, and that was addictive.
