Monopo..."for never-ending one-on-one contests.<br />Monopoly seemed endless, too. Hours<br />would pass in bargaining, buying, selling<br />and hoarding dice until we made forced trades." Ha just as those politicians play. 'buying, selling' reminds me of our prime minister's recent visit to your country and coming back with hands full of destructing goods. Lot of buying and selling were done. Really love your clever use of the verb 'trumped'. <br />Sumana Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333363799083094084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-45523451959049257912017-06-28T21:54:28.842-04:002017-06-28T21:54:28.842-04:00I found that card games are very educative.

I used to spend hours with a deck of cards making little pig houses that the big bad wolf - me - would then blow down.
