The Friday Five
From The Friday Five
1. What is your favorite board game? Clue, it was always Ms. Scarlett in the Dining Room with a candlestick.
2. What is your favorite card game? Nertz (it’s a made up word for a game my mother taught me, that her mother taught her.) It’s like playing solitaire against many people. Each person has their own deck. You can play on anyone’s ACE cards. Ya know the ones you match suit and stack up on. The first one to run out of cards in their pull pile wins and shouts “Nertz”. Then you counted all your cards in the middle (ACE cards) that you played on. Grandma always played with 20 cards in her pull pile while everyone else played with 10. I think I won 1 out of every 10 games against her. I don’t know how she did it. I miss her and the long rolls of calculator paper that we kept the points on. It could go on for years and years of ’saved’ games. I cried when we threw them out after she died.
3. Do you like to play games on the computer or on a gaming system? Gaming system is preferable. The couch is so much more comfy than the desk chair.
4. If so, what is your favorite game to play? Final Fantasy series games
5. Do you like to play games with people or to play them alone? I like to play alone or watch other people play. I love watching people play actually. Like a backseat driver I guess.


















OMG!! I play nertz too! I’ve only met a handful of others who have ever heard of it. In college we would play huge games with 10 or so people. It was craziness! Anyway, just had to comment because it’s rare to find a fellow nertz player
