Board and card games make their appearance around the wall, in sizes large and small.

Now, before I proceed, let me assure that I’m not going to feature Monopoly. Well, not much. Suffice it to say, Monopoly is recognised as the board game most likely to cause arguments and tears. In 2016, Hasbro launched a telephone hotline over Christmas to provide counselling and reconciliation to arguing Monopoly players!
Chess certainly makes a strong appearance out on the streets.

I used to play a lot of chess. I’ve also been keeping an eye out for an umbrella hat like the Chess For Fun guy has. I want to give it to our newspaper carrier.

I’ve definitely seen those umbrellas for sale. But where, is a difficult question.

Ha ha- you’ve just given me the answer to somebody else’s mystery challenge, Debs! Off I rush to claim my reward. 🙂 🙂 Well, not a reward so much as a sense of smugness…. I would never play with that chimp. Think of the embarrassment when I lost. 🙂

I’d suffer the embarrassment too. I’m not much good at chess but I do enjoy dominoes – it fits so well in a pub with a good beer 🙂
