I Love Games

No, not the stupid, needless psychological games that people play...I mean real games. Card games, board games, old games, new games. I love going to the casino and playing at the tables, because I just enjoy playing cards (though winning money is fun, too). I could play games nearly all the time. I love logic games and puzzles. I love backgammon and cribbage, chess and go, poker and solitaire, golf and football and baseball, word games, thinking games, strategy games. I love to play them on the computer or in the "analog" world.

I think that mostly I enjoy games that make you think, that keep your mind working. I've often heard that the best way to prevent mental deterioration as you get older is to keep the mind working as much as possible. Games do that for me. I like playing with the kids and I like playing with Heidi or with friends or whoever. I just like to play. The only problem is that I can't always find people to play with me, and I can't always find ways (or time) to play alone on the computer.

Do you like games, too?
