Game Quest

Chris is a winner!  Literally.  There is not a sport my husband can’t play, a game he can’t master, a mystery he can’t solve.  Our family really likes to play board games.  In fact, every Christmas, since the kids were small, we would put a new board game under the tree.  Over the years however, there are certain boxes that remain on the shelf in our closet because rather than drag the game out and then put it all back again, we simply declare dad the winner and ask what else we should play.

I have always considered myself apply coordinated, capable and I enjoy a little competition.  So what is it that I am unable to beat Chris in a game.  There was only 1 thing I was ever able to beat him in and that was King’s Corner.  I say WAS because with time he too mastered the strategy and the odds are always 50/50 and thus is about as exciting as tic-tac-toe.

One of our family’s favorite games is “Settlers of Catan”.  No one has ever won – except for Chris. We now call him “King of Catan”.  And don’t get me started on pool.  I have played entire games without sinking one ball.  So I think I shall play a little game of my own.  I am hence forth on a quest which only I can complete.  It is a quest to find a game at which I can beat Chris.
