I will have to look into that game for the next holiday time.

My husband is like a computer when it comes to Trivial Pursuit: he remembers all kinds of details which makes playing with him a fun challenge. We also bought the Jeopardy game which is pretty much a Trivial Pursuit game. The one that gets us laughing is Balderdash. <br />Take care and thanks for stopping by the blog-<br />GinaGina Conklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06279659570377738037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575273532904617281.post-21906913286712007492014-05-19T14:12:58.568-04:002014-05-19T14:12:58.568-04:00Hi bn100,
