parlor games
i have to admit i didnt play any parlor games when i was a child. Other than thumbs up seven up (which we played in school) i didnt really play anything else... the problem is that, like i mentioned in my other blog about playing as kid, i didnt really have any neighbors my age to play with so it was hard to play games that required people. I didnt play in school a lot because the only time we would play was when the teacher told us to... (we would get detention otherwise). Also, the games we played seemed to be more geared towards physical activity... during recess we always played soccer or marbles and if we didnt we would try to build forts and things like that in the playground... I guess parlor games are kind of a cultral thing because other than thumbs up (which is an American game) Ive only heard of one parlor-like game that my mom told me she played when she was a kid... the game dealt with remembering certain words or phrases and having people ask them at random times...

Now that i think of it i didnt play parlor games because i had other things to entertain myself with... we had nintendo... and now kids have computer games and xbox and ps2. Why would you put effort into designing and playing a completely imaginary game if someone has already designed the game for you and it looks great?

sorry that i dont have much to say in this blog but i just havent experienced any parlor games so i cant really talk about them.
