Celebrate Grandparents day with John Adams
This weekend celebrates National Grandparents Day. Its
actually on Sunday 7th October but we have such a fabulous relationship
with ours that we just celebrate the whole weekend!
This weekend though we’re looking at the weather and staying
inside. We’re planning on locking day and indulging in games from our youth
thanks to John Adams’ heritage games. The likes of Rummikub, Triominos and
Othello! I can remember playing these not just with my parents but with my
grandparents too!
Othello
Othello is such a fabulous little game. It really is like the
label says, it takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master. As such this
is the perfect game to play between generations. Simply trap and capture your
opponent by placing your disks on the board and sandwiching your opponent’s
piece to turn their disk to your colour! It’s a fabulous quick and fast placed
game so even worth it to play with those who have wiggly bums and small
patience!
Rummikub
Perfect for the slightly older grandchildren Rummikub from
John Adams is a great numbers strategy game which is difference with every
play! Laying down your numbered tiles in groups – same numbers but different
colours or as a run – same colour but 3 or more consecutive numbers you can manipulate
the tiles already on the table to your advantage! I can remember playing this
on numerous holidays as a multi-generational family and it still brings back
some great memories!
Triominos
I haven’t actually played this yet but oh my gosh it looks
like fun! Triominos twist on the standard well known dominos game. Just picture
them as triangles tho! Its slightly more exciting though than dominos as every
triomino is unique and needs a little thought where to place it to gain the
player the highest score! This looks to be a fab game for all ages and looks
like it’ll become a fast favourite!
So why not enjoy this weekend with your grandparents and
indulge in some fun with John Adams!
