There is something about the early nightfall that inspires Casey and me to revert to log-cabin style entertainment (well, if you ignore the iPod playing in the background). TV off, mug of hot drink at hand, crouched over the kitchen table embroiled in a cut-throat game of Carroms.Carroms! Have you played that game? Love it! Hate that I can't win, but love to play it! Just one more reason to love my hubby, because it was a childhood game for him too. Funny how we grew up living these parallel lives in two different countries, developing the same attitudes toward family fun and traditions. It's just a game, but it's part of a lifestyle. Can't wait until Luke is old enough to get in on the fun!
When I grow tired of losing at that game, we switch to scrabble. Then I win. Grin.

We play a lot of croconol at meeting because we stay ALL day to eliminate driving 45 minutes two more times. The board my parents have has caroms one one side and croconol on the other, but this one doesn't. I can't believe your hubby grew up playing it, no one in this part of the USA has ever heard of it!
I have never heard of it! Blane and I play skip bo very very competitively, we love games we will have to try this!
Chatty - we played crokinole A LOT as kids, too, and I introduced Casey to it since our board also has both games. And guess what - the first time I played carroms was at your parents place. Holly and I played for a looooong time one night. Loved it ever since!
That's cool! My Grandpa C's side of the family played a lot.
I wish I could play Scrabble. I used to play online with Chad, but then it got shut down. Garrett won't/can't play with me. He's not so great with the spelling aspect of our language. We definitely need an adult game night soon!
How come I never got in on any carroms fun?? I've never played it...I'll have to get someone to teach me someday!!
