Speaking of games, some friends invited us over to dinner
last weekend, and it was suggested we bring a few games. I grabbed Forbidden
Island as one of the games, and after dinner my 9-year-old pulled it out to
play with the other kids (our friends’ two sons, plus three of their neighbors). I thought it unlikely to work out because I
thought they would be too distracted and would prefer to run around. However,
when I looked out onto the front porch a half-hour later, I was surprised to
see all seven kids sitting beneath the porch light, crowded around the
game. They had somehow devised a
5-player game that involved the Diver giving piggy-back rides, but whatever,
they were having a great time.
