Oh the games people play

Thank You for the recommendations of books to read. I will add them to my list of books to read.

Hi, my name is Janine and I am addicted to Phase 10. It started innocently enough, I wanted a card game for my mums Xmas stocking. I went to Whitcoulls and browsed the games and picked out Phase 10. I hadn’t played this before nor had it been recommended, but I read the blurb on the back and thought its kinda like a runny game mum should like that.

On Christmas Day, Mike and I and my folks sat down to play this game. It took us a few hands to get into the swing of it. It didn’t take long before all four of us were hooked. We all played several games a day during my parents stay. During that time Mike won the majority of games and mum a few. Dad and I didn’t stand a chance!! However, the  time came when my parents returned home and took the game with them.

When Joel and Jaime stayed I grabbed the game again and we taught them how to play it. Everyday we would play a few games and like us they quickly became addicted and bought a set to take home. Since they have gone Mike and I have continued to play a few games in the evening. It has been fun and finally I have been able to beat him.

Today we took our addiction to a new level and bought the “Phase 10″ app and downloaded it onto the iPad (that’s a post for another day).  In between chores today, Mike and I have taken turns playing against the other three players, throughout the day. It’s been good fun pitching our skills against virtual players.

Details of Phase 10:

• I bought this for $14.99 from Whitcoulls, Joel and Jaime got this for $12.99 at Farmers.
• The details of the game can be found here.
• A card game for 2 – 6 players. We have played this with, two, three and four players.
• The iPad App costs $2.59

Did you buy a card game or board game for Christmas? Have you got any new games you can recommend?
