Triominoes is in my house too, love the game.

Janice My Mum used to have Upwords at her house and my kids loved playing it with her. Elder son now has it and plays it with his kids (and me!) I have a game called Ups & Downs which is very similar to Othello. Had it for years, I probably bought it because it was a cheaper version of Othello! Has anyone played Triominoes? Like Dominoes but triangular shaped pieces instead of rectancular. Need quite a large table to play it on though! Sue

If you get the cd rom you can play with others online - l have used the cd and played against the puter ,but not online with anyone- but willing to have ago. l bought mine at a charity shop!! Mine is'nt installed at present though Jude:~)

Nigel, I have tried typing the web site that you gave but it is coming back error, have you got the right one? Sue

I used to play scrabble online if I went into Yahoo, but with doing my family tree I have not been there for a long while I went to see if it was still there the other day and it does not seem to be. Sue...........

Love Rummikub, but the number version is better than the word one. Good Ludo-type game is Sorry. Does anyone play Upwords which is like Scrabble but you can stack the tiles too? Also enjoy Othello. Janice

I have Rummikub and the Word one aswell I had to band my youngest sister from playing because she kept on beating me and she wasn't in the age group at the time to play the game. She is very smart or either that I am just plain thick lol

We love Scrabble and as teenagers used to play a version of it with our friends where we could only use dirty words. Oh what a misspent youth! My daughter is a mental health nurse and she plays Rummikub with the patients. I bought her her own game this Christmas, just so I could play it. I love the game am now hooked. When my children were young we used to play Yahtzee (I think the spelling is correct) - another good game. Julie

Thank for that Bob,i will slip into Newcastle tommorow and get the wife and i a set. Denis tfn Newcastle.

Denis Rummikub is a variant of Rummy played with tiles. You lay them on the table to make runs and suits. Great fun for 2/4 players. We played in France last year. Bob

Boy, Marly ,you do get around don,t you ,im going down to wales at the weekend on holiday to a little cottage on the coast. I can,t take the puter cause its too heavy,i can,t put wellies on to chase sheep with this ticker of mine but i can take scrabble, and will take a deck of cards too.What,s the rummikub then?havn,t heard of this one ,is it a card ,or board game.Having taken the mickey over your wapses, i hope i don,t come across a few strays,cause joking apart i hate them.Denis tfn Newcastle.

Thanks Nigel, i am a scrabble fan and will definitely give this a go. Tricia

If anyone likes scrabble, but like me, is surrounded by Philistines who don't play, here is a great website: www (.) thepixiepit (.) co (.) uk / scrabble It is really excellent and mails the game to you everytime it's your go. Just remove the gaps and brackets.
