now we're into Scrabble too.

I can't believe it.  He wants to play that and the crossword puzzles.  He never use to want to do this.  He'll be 75 soon, maybe that has something to do with it?  Or..I've just worn him down over time.  ROFLOL.

Gave up the paper daily crossword puzzle for the interactive Words with Friends 2 (no ads).  Usually have 20-25 puzzles in play every day, along with the other side games on the site.

How fun!  Games with people are still the best.  When we were bored, my mom hauled the decks of cards.

Family game nights are making a comeback. I do a lot of jigsaw puzzles with so much free time. I haven't been inside a Wal-Mart or Target in a year. Don't go to restaurants either.

I enjoy playing Scrabble and Word Games on Pogo.com....sometimes with friends, other times with robot opponents....

Re: now we're into Scrabble too.

I always loved Scrabble and I play it online.  I play a lot of card games online and I have actually improved my math skills. The online games keep your mind active.  You are lucky to have somone to play different games with you.  Keep your mind active and you will stay young.  Cat Very Happy

Re: now we're into Scrabble too.

@qualitygal  That's great! I love Scrabble, but DH not so much. My parents played Scrabble throughout their lives together. They documented their best scores (high word score, high game score, etc.) inside the box tops. We still have them. My mom was a Scrabble shark, and my Dad had a tremendous vocabulary.
