the gamea were great. The family loved them all so much. They were laughing and singing. Soon ome of the cards read ‘sing baby by justin beiber.’ Someone began to sing but got the words all mixed up. Someone justin came out of the game box and started to get mad since they didnt know the words. What a time....

It was a Saturday night. And I’m not kidding when I told you it was a full moon. We’re all playing Monopoly and for some reason my brother got upset because he got a thimble. We were having a grand old time and suddenly a fight broke out. Don’t look at me; I didn’t start it. I was simply trying to get my money for boardwalk. The game lasted for 12 hours. Can you believe it 12 hours! It’s not my fa...

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh, not fair!! Moooooooooooom!! Jack cheated !!!”

“I DID NOT!!!”

“CHEATER!!”

“Okay, Sam I think that’s enough.”

“Ugh, that’s it, I’m telling ya, there has got to be some kinda conspiracy…!! The next person who wins is adopted!!”

“SAM!!”

“SAM!! CUT THAT OUT RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!!!”

Their parents called out Sam’s name, a little too loud and harshly. Loud enough to plant a ...

We were a family of board game enthusiasts. We played everything, and I am not exaggerating one bit. Some of our more competitive games were: Trouble, Clue, Sorry, Rat-rap, Monopoly (of course), Miles Borne, Life, Stratego, Battleship, and last but not least Risk! But no epic family battle with dice ever compared to an odd game gifted to us one Christmas. The simple, yet complex game of Trade and ...

Family game night. A simple thing right? Well not really in my family. My family have a different tradition of game night. I know most families enjoy a nice maybe even hostile game of monopoly. Maybe the game is risk with strategy and precise moves. I wish we could just play a game of twister and let it be just that. Sadly no.

My family have powers. Each one of us has a different and unique powe...

I held the uno cards in my hand, staring at mom with a smirk. She knew I had won. “Oh hell, I quit!” She cackled, playfully smacking me on the arm. She went to the kitchen sink, grabbed the bottle of wine, and poured herself another glass. Tonight we were having a good night, she wasn’t falling over drunk, this was her second glass of wine, not her seventh, which was rare for a Friday night.

“So,...

Demi sighed as they buttoned up their shirt, trying not to think about how it was tight across their bust. They would just have to deal with it. They hated the way their pants caught on their wide hips. At least their hair they could clip up well enough.

Meeting with their grandparents and cousins was intimidating. A few years ago, maybe it wouldn’t have been. Things...

Card games are fun and something new,

But it gets old when the Uno reverse card skips you.

Twister is a tangled mess but you bond with your opponents,

Except when you injure yourself and have to get stents.

Beating some one at Risk when you conquer their last country is rewarding,

The one who gets their hopes snatched away has to say I will have my day to winning.

To get all the railroads in Mo...

“Draw two!” My brother exclaimed as he slapped the card down on the pile. I smiled behind the two cards I held in front of my face. “Not today punk!” I said as I slapped my draw to card down on the pile “Draw Four!”

“You should learn to respect your elders.” Uncle Carl slipped his card on the pile, “Draw Six.”

“Oh snap. Somebody’s going to draw but it isn’t going to be me!” My little sister Ann ta...
