Most of our games are cancelled today because of the weather. Hope it’s sunny wherever you are.
We are taking the day to catch up, regroup, watch television and play a cool card game called Phase 10. Don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but it’s a lot of fun and easy. All ages seem to love it. We all love it (ages 40, 40, 15, 13 & 10).
TechnoMom and her husband introduced us to it a few years ago. We were on a trip to Mexico and played whenever it rained. We drank, laughed and were entertained for hours. The kids were home with grandparents!
It’s impossible to find a game that we all like and want to play at the same time. Let’s be honest – it never happens. But for some reason Phase 10 works. We verbally heckle each other and laugh! The kids think we’re cool, at least when we’re playing this game. In their eyes we are so not cool 95% of the time. Little victories are worth it!I found Phase 10 at Target for under $10. Let me know if you like it.

OMG - MASSIVE CLEANOUT of basement - MASSIVE! Embarrassed to say we had a few boxes unopened since our move in 1993! One whole box was a box of games (Pokeman/Pictionary Jr./Boggle Jr.etc) Going through them all and tossing them in the donate pile, I come across - an UNOPENED pack of PHASE 10!!! Of course it doesn't sport the modern look that you show, but sure enough it is PHASE 10 - I flip it over to read the directions and I realize that it is a card game we have played for YEARS with a regular deck of cards with the 80 yr. old grandparents! It is fun! Can't believe the KARMA...
